Warriors Of The Wind #2
Embrace the Wind
After the Civil War, things started to crumble for Ginny Sinclair: Her fiance and her mother were gone, and her father, a distinguished journalist, fallen to drink. In 1871, she and her father buy the Tucson Sun, only to discover a grim town torn by greed and prejudice. Ginny is a convincingly talented, independent heroine, one able to write clever prose while maintaining a sense of fairness--even about Bonner Kincade, a half-breed Apache Army scout with a well-earned distrust of newspaper people. The son of a well-to-do rancher, Bonner tries to reconcile two sides with the inevitability of the other. At the same time, he tries to convince himself that the passion he and Ginny feel must not be realized.

About the author
Chelley Kitzmiller
12 books10 followersA California native, Chelley Kitzmiller lives and breathes the Wild West. She travels the West doing research, decorates her home with everything from a cowhide ottoman to a window valance of antique spurs and frames her own Western photography. She’s known and loved a host of Western movie stars such as Jack Palance, Harry Carey, Ronda Fleming and others. She says, “I’ve had quite a ride and the saddle ain’t even broke in yet.”
As a teen, she hated history. The teacher was only interested in students memorizing names and dates; nothing about what motivated the people to do the things they did.
Her favorite historical romance is Sweet Savage Love by Rosemary Rogers. When she read it, she didn’t know that the historical detail was factual and only later discovered the truth and realized that she’d gotten a painless dose of history. SSL was her life-changing experience; it made her want to pen her own historical romance and give to others what Rosemary had given her: history wrapped in an emotional action-packed story.
In her pre-published years, Chelley founded the Orange County RWA Chapter, finaled in RWA’s Golden Heart Contest, organized the Amtrak Love Train (Google the film documentary Where The Heart Roams), organized writers’ conferences, wrote book reviews for Publishers Weekly and had her own book review columns in two major newspapers.
After publishing four books with NAL and Harlequin, Chelley took a long break to help in her husband’s business, open two bookstores, work as an editorial assistant on nine books for Fern Michaels and one for Lauraine Snellng, learn photography and start a pet rescue. Through it all she wrote and still writes magazine and newspaper articles and grants for the pet rescue.
These days she splits her time between writing, RVing and rescuing pets with her daughter, Gina (www.Haveahearthumanesociety.org ). Interact with Chelley on Facebook, Twitter @chelleykitzmlr and sign up for her newsletter at www.chelleykitzmiller.com.

Good read. He is a half breed acting as an army interpreter, he fought tirelessly to help his Apache people live in peace with the white man. She was a white woman dedicated to uncovering lies and unearthing passions he knew could only lead to danger.
She travelled to Tucson to help with her father’s newspaper but soon realized she had a lot to learn, especially from the half breed. The townspeople called the tall, handsome half-breed Apache trouble, someone to be feared but she saw a different man, one who filled her with troubling emotions, raging desires and a need to write the truth even if it destroyed her. HEA ending.

Normally books of this genre bore me to death but I do admit in enjoying "The Seeker" tremendously.
“The Seeker” has an old Western type of feel that was both refreshing and intriguing.
Chelley Kitzmiller does a fine job creating a historically accurate background that portrays a legitimate backdrop of of our story's time period and creates logical characters with understandable plights.
I really appreciate the strong characterizations of Bonner and Ginny which fluidly showcased their different upbringings and strong belief systems beautifully.
Their relationship is not a 'walk in the park' but they somehow make it work. They have such complimentary personalities that make them mesh well and thus allow them to embark on their sizzling hot romance.
Readers should really take a look into this wonderful read and not be a “me” who would not normally look into Western historical novels. I admit to crying a couple of times but that was because I got so absorbed in this world that Ms. Kitzmiller has created and really felt for both Bonner and Ginny’s characters.
Very well worth it read!

The Hero in this book is half Apache half white and has dedicated his life to bringing peace to both the Apache and the settlers in the Tuscon area. The heroine is a newspaper publisher who insists on printing the truth rather than the anti Indian rhetoric spouted by the local Merchants Association. They join together, at times reluctantly, to help their people live together without conflict.
The plot is very much a classical Western with romantic and spiritual elements. At times it was predictable and slow moving. If you enjoy the older style Westerns you will want to read this novel.

I always enjoy a good historical Native American romance novel. This author is good. It is hard to put her books down. I look forward to reading my third book of hers.
