1.0 out of 5 stars Weak, Insulting, & not worth your time, January 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Lone Eagle (Topaz Historical Romance) (Paperback)

Why is Cassie Edwards allowed to write? I didn't like any of the characters in this book. I found them weak. I wasted my time reading this book. While reading the book's description I was suprised that the heorine was mixed who falls for an Indian. I'ved never read a book by a white author who had a semi black chartacter who the hero falls in love with. Only the premise is about that, the acutal story is about a white woman who falls in love with a Indian. Zondra knew nothing about her culture, except she was a slave, mom black. There is more to black culture than slavery, but I didn't read any of that in this book. Cassie Edwards could have done something truly remarkable by allowing the Indian to fall in love with a dark skin black woman. Black and Indian romance did occur.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time and money, February 12, 2000

This review is from: Lone Eagle (Topaz Historical Romance) (Paperback)

I have tried reading over a dozen Cassie Edwards books, and Lone Wolf is the last book of hers that I will waste my money on. The story was unbelievable, and repetitious. The plot was supposed to be about a slave girl and Indian chief falling in love. What Mrs. Edwards gave us was a story about a white heroine who was a slave[ that happened to have a black mother (who was also a slave) and a white father who happened to be the master]and an Indian chief who fell in love. The characters were undeveloped, the relationship between Zondras parents was nonsensical, a few facts were thrown into the story at random in a text book manner disrupting what little flow of the book there was. The dialog between the characters was laughable to say the least. I spent most of my time grimacing over the poor writing. The beginning, middle, and especially the ending of the book were pulled from left field. If Mrs. Edwards is going to do away completely with history she should tack a letter to the end of the book letting readers know that the story has little or no semblance to historical facts. In short I feel at least an attempt at research of her subject should have been made. Maybe that could have salvaged some portion of this book though I doubt it.

This review is from: Lone Eagle (Topaz Historical Romance) (Paperback)

Very disappointed with Cassie Edwards novel. The heroine is suppose to be a biracial woman, but you get the feeling that this is another 'white' woman's romance novel. I was disappointed that the character of Zondra was not a black woman which would have been very interesting. There are not any historical romance novels which portray a black woman and Native American Indian that I know of. It would have been exciting to read this type of interracial novel. The writer plays it safe by making the heroine have white skin and all appearances of a white woman. It's disturbing that the message seems that white is once again better than anything darker. Zondra's is described as being 'blessed' with white skin which is also very disturbing. I cannot recommend this book at all. I hope other books can respectfully portray the romance between black women and Native American Indians in a better light.
