I just finished my first Native American fiction novel, and wow — this one surprised me.

Apache Sun gave me Pocahontas vibes… but with the roles reversed. That dynamic alone made it feel fresh and different from what I normally read.

This isn’t my typical genre, and I wasn’t sure what to expect going in — but I honestly really enjoyed it. The story offered a powerful perspective and a reminder that you should never judge someone based on appearances or assumptions. There’s depth here. There’s heart. And there’s growth.

It stretched me as a reader in a good way — and I love when a book does that.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 3.5/5 stars

This has been a long time coming for me as this was my first time reading a Native American romance. For years now I’ve been intrigued to dive into this genre and I finally did it with this book. I found this series only late last year and I was instantly taken by it for some reason, and even though this wasn’t the best book I’ve ever read it will from this day on hold sentimental value with the fact it being my first Native book.

The major issue I had with it however was the grammar, this really could’ve used another proof reading or something, as there were countless errors, and to some that can be off putting, myself included, but I persevered with it as this was only a short read of 15 chapters and an epilogue, and at 179 pages it’s quick and easy to get through. But if this was edited better it could’ve been a solid 4.

The story follows Hannah and Native, Bear Claw, the two meet after Hannah is kidnapped by the apache’s after her family’s wagon is raided. Once at his village the two develop feelings and love blooms as Hannah is Bear Claw’s fated mate that he’s dreamt about since he was 16. Their love story is forbidden by many but Bear Claw does not care about that and will do anything to keep her where she belongs…with him.

Overall I am glad to have finally broken the barrier and to have dived into the genre of Native American romance, and despite the grammar errors this had I do wish to continue the rest of the series. If you love historical romance and the native culture then I’d recommend it to you, and I would even recommend if you are like me and never have read this genre before, it’s a good little book to break the ice with.

🍷I genuinely loved the plot of the story, it's really different and I liked how different sub plot were being cooked at the back of the story, which indeed makes it more engaging. The book tells us a story of two characters who are totally different but their lives are about get interviewed, what's written in their fate is a mystery the readers will know when they pick the book.

Apache Sun is probably one of those books which also represents grief, the race to survival and it goes beyond mystery and romantic aspects, the book is a treat to readers who wants to read something unique and action filled with a lot twists.

It's actually so good to read books that has it all, this is one of them. The language is simple and it's quite entertaining. I will definitely recommend it.

I am giving it 2 stars simply because the concept was good, however the plot went down the hill pretty quickly. The chapters had no division whatsoever, there was a bit rambling that did not contributed to the story but managed to confuse me a few times, tolerable misspellings and to top it all, this work was a bit rushed.
And lastely, I found similarities with Jenie P. Johnson, an author that does not appeal to me at all. I'm not sure if I will give this author another chance but let's see how it goes.

Lots of potential

While I enjoyed the story of Hannah and Bear Claw, I found the many typos, grammatical errors, misspellings and anachronisms very distracting. The book needs serious proofreading and editing.

A great story but Christine Clinton needs a proofreader

I enjoyed this book. It is different from other historical romance novels I have read. There are some grammatical errors and wording issues but over all it was enjoyable. I would love to be her proofreader!

Good Story!

A story of how race and cultural differences were overcome by love. Not all stories have a happy ending. I am so glad this one did! I highly recommend this book!
