Edwards began writing romances in 1982 and released her 100th novel, Savage Skies, on August 28, 2007.

Her first 99 books sold a combined 10 million copies as of August 2007, with her more recent novels averaging sales of 250,000–350,000 copies.
Edwards has won the Romantic Times Lifetime Achievement Award and the Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award, as well as being named one of Affaire de Coeur's top ten favorite romance writers. Edwards has a reputation for meticulously researching the proper anthropological backgrounds of each tribe she writes about.
Edwards and her husband Charles, a retired high school biology teacher, have been married for over 50 years. They have two sons, Charles and Brian, and three grandchildren. The family lived in St. Louis, Missouri for over thirty years, but now reside in Mattoon, Illinois.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. Oh my God, y'all, Cassie Edwards is nature's antidepressant. It is impossible to be down in the mouth when you're reading a Cassie Edwards book.
A nice little romance of childhood friends-to-lovers, despite being separated for all those years.
HOWEVER
I will admit to being disappointed by the hero and how he openly admits that he's been with other women, even though he only "truly" loved the heroine. Like...I don't care about "a man's needs", if you REALLY love someone, then you just CAN'T sleep with anyone else but them.
I don't care how idealistic that is, that's what books are supposed to cater to: the ideal, not the disappointingly real.
I sometimes hate with authors go one direction and not another, y'know?
Just count the book lucky that I'm not taking away all its stars as a result of this.
Absolutely loved this story. No surprise Cassie Edwards does not disappoint.
This story is about two young children who meet and have this deep connection almost immediately. They are from rival tribes so they are forbidden to see each other..the young girl makes a promise to meet the young boy in a few nights but when she gets home her tribe leaves their camp suddenly and she doesn't get a chance to see the young man to tell him. The young man is heart broken when she doesn't show up then he discovers that her tribe left in a hurry. Over the years he thinks of her often. Her and her tribe come back years later and she meets the young man and knows immediately that it is him. Their story is like Romeo and Juliet, a forbidden love. Their love story has many peaks and valleys.
