3.0 out of 5 stars Quite nice, July 18, 2006

This review is from: Lakota Flower (Zebra Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

At times I wanted to scream at the book, because I was so frustrated with how little romance is actually in it. Until the very end all that is shared between the main caracters are a few stolen kisses. This book is frustratingly full of details about native american life, when what you really want to read about is the blossoming love between War Eagle and Caroline. The historylesson is interesting, but not what I bargained for when purchasing this book. On the positive side the book is actually wellwritten, well paced and full of beliavable secondary characters. What I do miss is a deeper insight into the mindsets of the main characters. Especially War Eagle has you guessing most of the time, which is a real shame.

Overall a nice read, if you are truly interested in the old ways of the native americans and do not mind that the romantic scenes are few and far apart, quite naively written and no hot details are revealed at all.

Apologies to the author, but this was a pretty poor effort. It seemed pretty much a stereotypical "Native American man meets white woman and they create their own special bond." kind of story. She's brave, headstrong and impetuous, and for some far fetched reason she's out in the middle of the prairie, with a bunch of soldiers. He and his tribe want to stop the white man from encroaching upon their sacred hunting grounds. He's been taught English by two different people and while the words,"lips the color of the setting sun" appear to be in his vocabulary, he hasn't learned the word "I". Really? Someone's been watching too many 1950's cowboys and Indians movies. I couldn't even make it past the first chapter, freebie or not.

1.0 out of 5 stars History Book or Romance?, September 26, 2003

Janelle Taylor has been one of my favorites since I started reading romance novels 20 years ago. I have always enjoyed her books but this one was a bore. I felt like I was getting a history lesson in American Indians instead of reading a romantic tale. So disappointing!
