Very sweet story. Love that pets were mentioned and also seeing how the schooling came into play. If you've read an Edwards novel, then you know exactly how they all end.

Another great book by Miss Edwards. I do not want to put a spoiler in this review so I will not say much.

But I love the story and the characters you'll find yourself transported to the territory by all the sheer lovely detail of the land, ocean and marshes.

Cassie Edwards has a wonderful eye for detail when it comes to places (rooms) and landscapes!

I was given this book from my grandfather and he edited the bad scenes. I loved it and it was your typical romance book.

Felt like reading a history lesson. The love story between a white girl and native american gets repetitive.

My first one. They all went downhill for me. It was good if you're not used to this sort of thing. Got tired of all the man being the Chiefs to their tribe. It was like a broken record.
