This was a far different installment to the 1Night Stand series that I am familiar with, and will certainly appeal to some readers far more than the more formulaic story arc that is more traditional in the series.  Mary Quast has created a short erotic story that nearly screams for a full length story, but that is due to the lovely characterization,  the volumes of information and the strong spiritual journey that the reader follows with Lucy as she meets and enjoys her one night with Tecumseh.Lucy is timid, withdrawn and fearful after a life of abuse and lack of trust. She feels she wants to find the sensual woman within, and Madame Evangeline has a way for her to do just that.  Her solution comes in the form of Seth (or Tecumseh as he is referred to in all of the story but the 1st chapter).  Tecumseh is a Shawnee, highly tied to his cultural heritage and serves as a crow, the spirit that enables people to let go of their fears and hesitations, and move forward to a better and brighter life. He also guides spirits on their journey: but a life alone is not one that will be healthy for his future.The belief is that the two are meant to be mated: a legend that toes nicely with the story and with the sociology of actual crows, and the path to this awakening for Lucy and claiming the mate for Tecumseh is both spiritual and sexual: both with their own levels of beauty and intrigue that is carefully described and defined.I would very much have liked to see more of the legend and history, more of the spiritual journey that seemed to fall into place very quickly, especially for someone so hesitant and reserved.  That being said, Quast has written a lovely story that just demands more.I received an eBook from the publisher for purpose of honest review for the Jeep Diva. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
