4.0 out of 5 stars A BOOK TO LOVE AND HATE, August 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Love in the Wind (Mass Market Paperback)

It was hard to understand how Katy fell in love with Iron Wing. After all she was "given to him" by his friend whom found her hiding in the carriage that was attacked by another tribe. His punishments to her when she tried to escape or free prisoners would make anyone learn to hate him. However, once they found their feelings for each other (or should I say Katy realized her own feelings toward Iron Wing since he already claimed her), they ended up with constant struggles to stay together. At times Katy seemed spoiled and selfish, escpecially when she returned home and you wanted to shake her for this thoughtlessness really hard. But I was surprised when she changed her tune in favor of Iron Wing. I consider any book that can get you to react to it emotionally, whether it is good or bad emotions, is well written, I did finish this book in only 1 1/2 days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, August 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Love in the Wind (Mass Market Paperback)

Love in the Wind was the very first romance novel that I ever read and it remains my favorite even now, years later! I found it very well written, and very emotionally provoking.
Love in the Wind is an old western historical romance. Katy is the woman at the center of the story. She was once an heiress to her parents' farm, but decided to become a nun when her fiance was killed by Indians. On her way to the convent, her coach is attacked by rebel Indians and she is the only one left alive, only to be found by a group of Cheyenne. She is taken back to their tribe and is given as a gift to their greatest warrior, Iron Wing, and thus the romance begins. It's true that Katy surely should have learned to hate Iron Wing as she many times proclaimed, but love never knows what it is SHOULD do anyway. Against all odds the two fall in love, and then must fight beyond what they had ever imagined to stay together.
Love and romance, humor and fun, horrifying and tear jerking, this book has everything. It is a truly good read.

I loved this book. I like Iron Wing and Katy. Such wonderful characters. I didn't like Iron Wing at first but as the book progressed I found his unwavering loyality to Katy a remarkable thing. Katy was a somewhat spoiled girl that found true love with the proud but kind hearted(after a time)Iron Wing. I did have a problem with Iron Wing whipping Katy in the begining of the book but after that the book was truly wonderful.(though if some one whipped me i would hate them not fall in love with them.)
