The writing is like an elementary school student would do. Disappointed with this.

One of the best Cassie Edwards books yet! I loved how Sheleen shot off the cruel white man's finger after he needlessly killed her father. And she found her family among Midnight Wolf's people, which was touching.

One of the best in series. Really liked

To be a Dakota Indian in 1862 Minnesota was to live in constant fear of lynching and hanging. Even a white doctor known for treating Native Americans was viciously murdered, leaving his daughter, Sheleen, to fight off his attacker and flee for her life.

Rescued in the remote woods by Chief Midnight Wolf, Sheleen felt she had found her true home at last. In his peaceful, hidden village, she would no longer dream of mysterious white wolves saving her from danger; in his bronzed, muscular arms, she would no longer feel alone. But Sheleen still had two men tracking her down, one enemy among the Wolf Band, and a secret that must be revealed. Before she could know the ecstasy of complete fulfillment, she would have to resolve this...SAVAGE INTRIGUE.
I really love old western romances, especially hot indians!!

I would give this book a C. I didn't quite like it but I didn't dislike it either. First I was annoyed how long it took to actually get to the point of the story. The beginning is important to the story but it seemed to take more time than needed to actually get to the point...half of the book was done before the two characters even meet. Also I can never get passed the fact that the relationship never seems to be well established in these books no matter how much I enjoy the characters. It can deal with fast relationships but not if they have no ground. It just doesn't make sense in my mind. This particular 'savage' book had a lot of potential but just failed to deliver more than interesting characters that I couldn't truly love becuase it never got farther than that.

I loved this story.It was written so beautifully that I felt like I was a part of the story. That I could see smell taste and hear everything happening. I could not put this book down.

[Tonia Caniglia · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book was ok as was the story just had a hard time catching and holding my attention I suppose I have never been a big Cassie Edwards fan.

[Betsy · Rating 1 out of 5]

I have read other Cassie Edwards books but this one read like a 6th grade children's book. Her earlier works are great. And they were the reason I read so many of her books. Such a disappointment.

Didn't like it. Felt like it was thrown together.
