[Rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

very good book. loved the romance and the historical facts

[Katie Haasch · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well - I use to read a lot of these books when I was younger. I liked the Native American brave finds a white woman and eventually falls in love. But it got old. In one of those moments of I need a book to read I grabbed this one. It was okay. Some parts were cheezy and some characters not developed very well.

It is a quick read though which I like. Each of the “Savage” books are standalone novels.
