Reviewed by Terri N.Book provided by the author for reviewReview originally posted at Romancing the BookFrom the first paragraph of this book I was pulled into this story and I didn’t want to put it down.Lourdes, the oldest daughter of her clan heads, is thrust into leadership after finding her parents murdered. I loved her spunk and strong will. She could have lay down and taken what life gave her a few times but she kept fighting for herself and her people. I appreciated the fact that even though things were really not idea for her she never lost her true self.I was in love with Rhys and them as a couple from their first scene together. The circumstances of his life made him real. The chemistry between Rhys and Lourdes was some of the best I’ve read. The sexual tension was out of this world……. literally.Speaking of worlds, Ms. Edwards is a master world maker. The landscape only made up part of this wonderful world. Mavens rule their clans, spinners spun fine silk from their finger tips and being hand-fasted included being bitten. I’ve always loved Native American stories and to me this is a Native American story with a fanciful twist. Some of the tribe names and places were hard to pronounce but I didn’t let that stop me for enjoying this read.The secondary characters were well rounded but didn’t overwhelm the reader. The story remained about Rhys and Lourdes while still developing interest in the other characters. I’m especially interested in learning more about Rhys’ brother, Vaughn.This is one fantasy world I can’t wait to visit again and I’m not just saying that because Ms. Edwards is a fellow Alabamian!
