I have read many love stories with Indians and white women and I have to say this one IS the BEST one so far! I was so drawn to this book I read it in one sitting. I could not put this book down. I gasped out loud, my heart hurt when Meadow was going through so many trials and so happy that her love for Black Horse made her such a strong woman. Even though the characters were quite young it never deterred from the point of how deep love can go. This book was all about love even though half of it through they were never together but there minds and hearts were always together.

Black Horse was a fabulous character. Black Horse was loyal and knew what he wanted, not brooding, and accepting love without a fight. He would do anything for Meadow.

And FINALLY a strong woman character. Meadow went through SO much to prove her worth and her character intensified when she had to save the love of her life.

This was an amazing book. I highly recommend it!

The Ogala tribe adopted blonde haired white girl Meadow and raised her as one of them although she looked nothing like them. However, as she grows up into a beautiful squaw Meadow knows she is different and appreciates even more the tribe that took her in as a tiny child.

War Chief Black Horse visits the tribe and is immediately attracted to Meadow; she reciprocates. He obtains permission from the elders to spend time with her and to marry her. However The Canadian Mounted Police find the white woman living among the Indians and take her back with them; ignoring her wishes as they believe she is better off with her people. Meadow knows one life and one love so she flees her captivity only to be caught by the Blackfoot.

This is an entertaining Indian romance that fans of Cassie Edwards would appreciate. Meadow and Black Horse are fully developed likable characters as she displays courage throughout risking her life twice to save the man she loves. She and the Canada locations make for a fine nineteenth century historical as fans will root for this couple to make it.

This was a good book. I loved the cover, I thought it was very intriguing.

Here's the story:

Meadow's a white girl who was adopted by the Sioux when she was two, after they ambushed the wagon trail her family had been traveling on. The Sioux have moved to Canada to evade the American army.

Black horse is the chief of another tribe that has just joined the gathering in Canada to rest for a while after leading war parties against the settlers.
I don't want to spoil how they meet because I think that was the best part of the book. You'll just have to read to find out. :)

Basically it's love at first sight for them and they want to marry right away, alas, it is not to be as Meadow is captured by a dreaded Blackfoot warrior bent on revenge. Meadow is a strong heroine and is able to rescue herself and her man in this tale of a woman who loves the adoptive family and people who took her in and raised her as one of their own, even when forced to choose between them and her biological family.

The biggest reason I gave this book three stars was because the ending felt rushed to me. I wanted there to at least be an epilogue or something to tell us what happened to our hero and heroine.

All in all it was still a good read.

This started of promising but fell apart quickly. I have read several native american romance books and this one just didn't work for me. I liked the idea but never really connected with the H/H. It dragged and I had to force myself to finish it. The characters made decisions that didn't fit with who they were suppose to be. Overall I was dissapointed.

I have several other novels by Veronica Blake, and I love them all. This one is just a good, if not better, than the others that I have. I can't wait to read her new one, "White Owl." Really looking forward to embarrassing my husband some more with her racy love scenes. More Veronica Blake please!

This is a wonderful story that brings you through the trials and tribulations of a young white girl that was brought up by the Sioux Indian tribe after she became an orphan who falls in love with a War chief named Black horse and everything they go through to be together as they wanted to be from the moment they met.

The story started out interesting enough but after awhile I lost interest in it. The characters weren't fleshed out enough IMO, and I couldn't stop laughing when the very uninspired sex scenes mentioned the word "manhood"....I felt like I was reading something my grandmother would read....lol...

I could not put this book down, became totally engrossed in it and and cannot wait until her next book, "White Owl" comes out in August!

I enjoyed this book from the moment I started reading it. Black Horse was such a powerful and self-assured man that his strength pierces through the pages of the book and comes to life until his life started slipping down further and further. The Love between the hero and heroine is strong. She does not stop searching and fighting for her lover. I cannot tell more and will not so that way it won't be ruined for other readers. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I still pick up the book and go directly to my favorite pages . . . I will leave it to your imagination. Tra la lah!

This was my first romance novel. I have to admit that I was skeptical but I like native american history and I like romance so I thought I would give it a go. I was drawn in right away. The characters were strong and engaging. The setting was believable and interesting. The romance was hot and the story line was very well thought out. Not too complicated, not too fluffy, an excellent read. Actually, I couldn't put it down until I knew the outcome! I cannot wait for Veronica's next novel. I will definitely add it to my book collection.
