I've never read a book by this author before, and I haven't read Western or Indian romance in years, but I heard this one was good and decided to check it out.It's every bit as excellent as these other reviews say. It's clear that extensive research went into bringing life among the Cheyenne of the late 1800s into vivid reality. My ex-husband was 1/4 Cheyenne, and remained in close connection with the tribe, so I heard much of this information first hand and was pleased at how similar the two accounts are.As far as the romance aspect, Cesca is a strong, strong woman. Strong enough to take on a man like Meko, unintimidated. She faces tragedy and hardship and keeps going, and she loves her man with passion. Meko is strong, sexy, and handsome. He's also real; stubborn, possessed of a bit of a temper, the kind of man you might meet in everyday life, only better.As for the passion, it's subdued, not gratuitous, not in-your-face. Just there. It reads like a couple in love without sex taking over the story.So if you like a well researched historical with plenty of romance and some passion, it would be a shame to miss this one. Give it a try.
