This review is from: First Love, Wild Love (Mass Market Paperback)

This was my first Madeline Baker book, and it got me hooked. The love story between Shukaha Luta and Brianna was one of the sweetest and most romantic I've read in a long time, and really has stood up to be the best after countless other romances I've read. Brianna is an innocent 17 years old girl when she meets her Indian brave, who is a grown man of 30. But, he is imprisoned, and Brianna soon risks everything to free him. They fall in love almost from first sight, but it takes a few chapters for Shunkaha to look past her young age and realize she could be all women for him! After he makes the decision, he commits to her totally. Even after separations they remain true to each other, even after he is feared dead. They always reunite happily. Even after Shunkaha realizes the Lakota can no longer live as they once did and he has to adapt, they remain devoted. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves romance and needs to believe that love does conquer all barriers.

This review is from: First Love Wild Love (Paperback)

This was the first romance novel that I ever read. It was way back in 7th grade and at that age I probably shouldn't have been reading these kinds of books. But I fell in love with this writer and this story. I felt like I was there with the characters as an eye witness. It will be hard for me to give away the story since it has been a long long time since I read it last, but I do remember that it was a wonderful book. If telling you that this book helped start me out on reading Indian romance novels than that should be good enough for anyone.

I love all Madeline Baker books and one is no exception. Shukaha Luta and Brianna have a wonderful friendship from the start. Though Shukaha is 30 years old and Brianna or Ishna Wi as he calls her(which means Sun Woman) is 17 Shukaha soon realizes that she is all woman. After Brianna rescues Shukaha from a chain gang Shukaha rescues Brianna from her abusive aunt and uncle. Shukaha takes her to his people where after many trials they eventually come back to Brainna's Aunt and Uncles house to find the uncle has died and left everything to Brianna. The two have many things in store for them before they get their ever after. I definatly recomend this book to anyone who wants a romantic adventure.
