Red Path Romance

by Neri Lopez

Because the initial book “Red Path” was deemed too explicit by some close friends, I revised the book to reduce the level of sex and strong language. Both versions have the same storyline, plot and characters. If you enjoyed my 4 Chili Pepper Spicy rated book, then you don’t need to read this 2.5 Chili Pepper rated book. But if you haven’t read either and prefer less spice, this book is for you.

Johnny "Thunder" Thunderbird, a Lakota American Indian, has the responsibility of designing and opening an American Indian Cultural Center in South Florida, with the purpose of teaching non-natives about their history. Isabel "Isa" Gonzalez is a headstrong Cuban legal immigrant. Their relationship is hot and tumultuous, with a lot of twists and turns. Can these two very different people from different walks of life make it work in this ever-changing world? Will their families break them apart or bring them together?
