Western Romantics #2
When The Wind Blows
This is a hot happily ever after, fictional, historical romantic western.
It’s not for the faint-hearted, filled with some very tantalising hot sex and a strong dominant man. It’s a sweeping saga of one woman’s struggle to live and love. It holds temptations and passions. Conflicts and torment to raise your own passions and bring them alive. If you’re looking for something to tempt your days and nights, you just found it. Enjoy!
Written mainly in British English, with Americanisms and slang from both languages.
***
It was 1832. Before the forced Indian moves to the Reservations. Before the Little Big Horn. On the Plains of Dakota. A young woman found herself alone.
Was life meant to be this hard? She asked herself not for the first time.
Her life back East had been full of gayety and balls. The finery of silk and lace. Here, it was not.
The vast open Plains offered no refuge. No comforts and her home was here now. Her husband long gone and her child not long after. She’d thought herself in love. How wrong, she had been. She had believed in him and it had led her to here. In grief for the child, she no longer had. Alone.
She would make this work or die trying. It mattered not to her now.
The animals needed her and she had her home. What more did she need?
When the wind blew and the sun glinted off the horizon, he was there again. Silhouetted on the crest of the hill looking down on her. He sat proudly. Quietly as was his way. The master of all he surveyed. Gazing down on her. She could feel the heat of the intensity of his stare. She wasn’t alone anymore.
He would have seen them all go. She had no doubt of it, he knew all there was to know and she’d not left like he’d told her too. Too stubborn, too wilful some would say and that it would be her undoing.
He had warned her of what would happen, if she stayed.
She watched him as he kicked his mount on and slowly headed down towards her…..

What a horribly cheesy book that had some very questionable love scenes! I read the whole damn thing though because I enjoy torturing myself. The writing was terrible, but the plot was good. I feel like if a BR Queen had gotten her hands on this plot and wrote it back in the 80s, it would have been fabulous. However, written today it was severely lacking and just…well, read it if you must and find out.

Very well written story about a woman who sets off to the Dakota plains. She and her husband had been rich but he spent all their money. His new dream is homesteading in the West. She is in a very unhappy marriage but out in the wilderness Clive works hard and the rich girl starts to enjoy the project. But then she is left alone in the wilderness with only the sheriff visiting once a month and a mysterious Indian looking at her from afar. She never sees that man as a threat but considers him her visitor.
Unlike many of these novels no instant love but a story that builds up slowly and spends a lot of time on day to day chores. It becomes obvious how much work running a farm in the middle of nowhere was in those days and in that climate. (A friend of mine is from that area and always is telling about the harsh winters). I found it interesting and endearing. There is explicit sexual activity and some of that might be a trigger for people who have a history of sexual violence.

The premise of the story wasn't bad at all. In fact, it's just the type of story I'd read. Mysterious hero. Strong heroine. Pretty steamy scenes (minus the one where they have visitors. Cringe). That sort of thing.
The story was relatively short from what I'm used to reading which wasn't too bad. The writing, however, felt very stilted and at times awkward. I understand what the author was trying to convey throughout her story but I would have liked more details. It felt like I was reading cliffnotes to the actual story. The ending was a happy one but felt pretty abrupt and good lord this was in need of a good editor.
But it had the makings of a great story and was a quick read that took my mind off of the real world for a little.

What on earth?
So I managed to read half of this book.
The story has great potential.
However, there is no actual conversation anywhere. There are so many commas and partial sentences that I often was left confused even after reading a section again.
I'm disappointed as it sounded like a good book.

Memorable read
While this is a story th like I've not read before, it makes it one I will remember. The editing was poor and made for difficult understanding occasionally.

DNF. I read about 30% of the book and struggled to get past editorial errors that should have been corrected before publication. The story intrigued me and would have held my interest to the end.

The author writes in the foreword:
“I am not caught up in POV or literacy genius. It's simply not me or my style and I will never be that person, so I apologize to all those who are focused on the POV and the genius of literacy. I envy those that are.”
The cover’s great, especially considering there might not be lots of cash to throw at it⁉️ The two models on the cover? My ideal of him (we never get to know his name) and her, Agnes, almost. I appreciate authors that can refrain from giving readers endless physical descriptions of the characters, and allow our imaginations to form our own. This is a skill only the best writer’s have imo.
I was hooked from the first paragraph:
“The wagons moved slowly across the Plains. The vastness of it surprised her. It had been like this for weeks. As far as you could see. Boundless valleys opened up to meet the sky. Wide-open spaces, immeasurable and limitless roamed around her. Agnes thought it breathtakingly beautiful. The wind seeming to almost blow them along through the grasses in welcome. The sun warm on her face. The ground far lusher than she’d ever expected, having read the stories on the West back East. All dust and red rocks but not here. This was nothing like that and she thought it truly a wondrous thing.”
It was the “wondrous thing” that nailed it. I just had the feeling I’d stumbled across a ‘wondrous’ story. I did. 💯🌹❤️💕💖
There wasn’t anything I didn’t love, and read it in one sitting. I don’t do that often. I was reminded of Lisa Day’s Wolfkeeper’s Woman’; another fictional western romance, except not so much romance as epic LOVE story, which I prefer. There’s not so much dialogue at the beginning but dialogues overrated, and not always needed, and often done badly. It works well here. Alphas are men of few words, and I can’t stand babbling females. The love scenes are few but absolutely delicious 😋, and I’m grinning widely at the memory. Again, reminiscent of Wolfkeeper’s Woman.
For Grammar, Punctuation, Spelling and Format pedants, this may drive you bonkers, but for the rest, like me, NOT AT ALL. It was just great; in fact WONDEROUS. If you love Western Romance in the vein of Ellen O’Connell and Catherine Anderson, give this a read. I highly recommend it.
💯❤️💕💖😍🥰🌹
PS Lisa Day: Wolfkeeper’s Woman had formatting errors when I downloaded from Amazon, and I don’t know if it was ever corrected. I eventually found it on Smashwords.

A story that seemed "real"
Very well written story aboit a woman who sets of to the Dakota plains. She and her husband had been rich but he spent all their money. His new dream is homesteading. She is in a very unhappy marriage but Clive works hard and the rich girl starts to enjoy the project. But then she is left alone in the wilderness with only the sheriff visiting once a month and a mysterious Indian looking at her from afar.

This is the second time I tried to read this story but ended up with the same result 3 stars. The story is ok but the writing style bugs me plus it's a bit boring, not much action. She is left on a ranch by herself when her husband dies and eventually her baby daughter dies. An Indian has always been watching her and eventually befriends her. He helps and one thing leads to another. He takes her as his wife. HEA ending.

I did like this story, the only reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5 is the Hero in this story doesn’t have a name! You named their kids and even the dog, but didn’t give him a first name. That would definitely be something I think she after that morning they were “together” would at least ask or say she had a right to know. I’m not trying to be overly critical but this isn’t reasonable if with it being fiction.

Historical Romance set in North Dakota.
This is the first book I have read by this author, but it won't be the last. The story was adventurous and exciting. The Characters well written. Agnes married an alcoholic cheater, Cliff never realized what a hard working and great wife he had. They moved to N.Dakota and built a nice home. But, living was hard and Cliff did a great job building the house and farm, but had no idea of how to build a home or family.

Great Native American Love Story!
I have read this book many times since I purchased it several years ago, because it is one of my favorites. It has love, fear, pain, and the story of the west. It ends in a way the story of Native people should have ended—being accepted with a home on their land. Maybe, hopefully, that is the way it was for many—not in the horrible way it happened for many Native people.

good
I really love this book the only thing I wish for was more in there relationship and the sex scenes to be played out a little better but beside that is was good and I love the epilogue. You get lost, a little jealousy, heartache, survival, a little steamy and a little violence and could be uncomfortable in a few moments in the story.

A women who is a survivor
This book was my first in the category and it didn't disappoint. This women is amazing and survives and thrives in a world we can only imagine and read about. If you want to see strength and love with few words but is based on all actions pick this one!

You won't be sorry for reading this.
Tears are running down my cheeks, a true love story! This is probably my favorite read in the last year, with an amazing story line and characters.

Reading this, it feels more like an outline of a story than a completed book. The narration is from the FMC POV and she describes what happens to her and the people around her more than reading a story through dialogue and interactions between characters. It all feels "meh...".

With the read
This book, though a story of love, shows how very hard the life of a settler. Especially hard for a widow.
