Waya
Many things in life will catch your eye, but only a few will capture your heart.
When Sanalei Wahaya Ross first laid eyes on Waya, their spirits merged into one, and their souls fused. But she was mistaken. Never was his soul hers. If it had been, he would not have shattered her heart the way he did.
Then, her life took a devastating turn that changed it forever.
In light of Sanalei's recent struggles, Waya feels obliged by honor to protect the woman who holds his destiny in her hands.
However, she no longer needs or wants him since she gave up on their destiny the day he rejected her.
Will Sanalei ever forgive Waya and accept her destiny?

Destiny
Waya Jackson Strongbow and Sanalei Wahaya Ross were destined to be together. Their names meant the same thing, which further solidified their bond. I really enjoyed this story and getting to catch up with the rest of this big family. Sanalei was a warrior and beautiful spirit and she was determined to avenge her sisters death by any means. Once Jackson laid eyes on Sanalei again after their time apart, he realized the error of his ways and made every effort to fix what he broke. These two were made for each other.
My biggest critique with this book was the poor editing and format of the story. While the entire book should be re-edited and reformatted to make it more enjoyable to the reader, these errors did not take away from my enjoyment of the story. However, the errors did make it a little difficult to follow along in some parts as there should have been page breaks or grammar issues that should have been corrected to easily identify who is the focus at the time.
I still highly recommend this book and the rest of the books of this series. This series shows that sometimes family is not always by blood, but the family you create in your heart.

admitting you was wrong
I hope this is not the last chapter of these great families... Jackson love his women. But Jackson soulmate that he had not seen in two to three years. Sanalei show up in town due the death of her sister. Sanalei came to find out who kill her sister. Sanalei was a bad lady no one new how bad until a couple man try to Kidnapping her and she kill them both, Jackson show up and find she in Trouble And he pulled out all the stops to Protect her and Realize That he still love her And wanted nothing to happen to her. He pulled out all the stops to protect her and her sister baby. And Sanalei never know her father her mother told about ...... father and found him. He was a Afraid that she will not accept him due to him being gay. In the end it's all about family.

Best of the best.
Confusing at first, not familiar with any of the characters, until I red the name Waholi Strongbow. I knew that he had to be a relative of Jackson Strongbow. I loved learning of Wayne's background and that he was a warrior. It was especially fun learning to pronounce the Cherokee language. The story was very interesting and intriguing. Finding that Eugene had a daughter had me on the floor. I would strongly recommend that anyone that haven't read the series starting with Heart series do so.

Waya and Wahaya
Beautiful love story and sad story of loss. I loved reading this story. Sad for the loss of Archers mother, Anasai. The details about the Native American traditions were incredible. I thought that Jackson should have begged forgiveness from Sanalei because of how he thought she should never be with anyone but him, when he slept around all the time. She should have had him groveling for months before forgiving and sleeping with him. Overall, this was a well written story.

She did it again!!!!
Once again this writer managed to capture my undivided attention with her prolific story telling. I am amazed how she manages to endear the characters into our hearts and entwine them in each others lives. This story of Jackson Strongbow and Eugene was beautifully written with enough drama to keep any reader engaged. If you haven't read any of her books you don't know what you are missing.

Good Storyline
Waya has a good.storyline, but for some reason it did not flow, like the other Brotherhood books. First there were numerous grammatical, sentence structure, extra and omitted word issues. The Vivian Rose Lee of old resurfaced. Bring back your proofer. The heroine, Sanalei, had kickbutt attitude which was great, but she got lost in the overall story for awhile.
The Eugene surprise was just that, a surprise lol!
Overall decent read, but not Miss Lee's best.

Excellent read
Excellent read, I loved the characters and storyline. Jackson and Sanalei love story, is full of plots, intrigue and action. Catching up with the Howards, Singleton’s and other family members and friends from Philadelphia to Virginia is always exciting and fun. The addition of the Cherokee traditions, language and spirituality was a nice touch. I look forward to the next installment. This is another great book from my favorite author Vivian Rose Lee.

Loved it!
I enjoyed how each character was developed. The author wrote each character's back story. There were no questions that by the end of the story, you knew who each individual was. I loved how she explained the Cherokee culture. Lastly, I love the Brotherhood series and hope to read more. Love this author. Can't wait for the next story. Keep them coming.

Brotherhood 8
The love in this brotherhood series is amazing. I have truly enjoyed this series. It took me a while to actually start this book but 2 days after starting, I’m done. I could not put it down. I love how Ms. Viv incorporates lives that we don’t see coming. Highly recommended! Love it!

Passionate!
Sanalei and Jackson were soulmates. Once Jackson got past his ego he was able to embrace what he knew all along they were meant to be. As usual it is always fun to revisit all the families we have come to know in this series. Ready and waiting for the next story.

Totally Engaging
This was a very fulfilling read. I enjoy learning about Native Americans. I have always read their stories as a child, and now, to have access to a modern writer brings sheer joy to my heart. Keep writing, and I will keep reading

Waya (The Brotherhood Series Book 8)
This was a beautifully written book, with examples of Cherokee philosophy. The plot was woven in a way that made me want to keep reading.
I will reread this book again.

Predictable
While mildly enjoyable, this book was extremely predictable. The Kindle version had so many grammatical errors it made it difficult at times. Not sure how that needs to be fixed but I do hope that this manuscript did not go to the publisher this way.

The Brother’s story you didn’t know you needed.
I always wondered about Jackson and his life. This was a great addition to the series. This is a different kind of love.

Waya
Excellent story. I am in love with the way she tied the past to the present, and the traditions of the Cherokee Nation were represented beautifully.

Loved it
I almost didn't read this because I assumed it was about something else. I'm so glad I went back because it was really worth it.

Awesome
This book was awesome, and I couldn't put it down. I loved the peek inside of some The Black Cherokee prayers and traditions.

Let your spirit guide
Everything about this book I love. I love that Jackson realized that Sanalei is his destiny his true love. I love that Eugene found his daughter Sanalei and they were able to connect because of Sanalei's mother. And Sanalei is nice with marital arts and weapons. As always I am so ready for the next book.
