4.0 out of 5 stars Engaging late eighteenth century Indian romance, July 23, 2001

By	Harriet Klausner - See all my reviews (#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

In 1784 Silver Creek, eighteen year old Shawndee Sibley wants to escape the family Silverleaf Tavern where she serves whiskey to drunks. To keep her daughter safe from the low lives that frequent her establishment, Jane insists that Shawndee dress like a young lad. Still, Shawndee dreams of balls and fancy dresses.

Shadow Hawk wants the alcohol stopped being served to his people, the once proud Seneca. He concocts a plan and abducts the tavern owner’s young son. However, Shadow Hawk realizes that his plan needs revising because the boy is a beautiful young woman whose courage and honesty touches his heart. As Shawndee revises her dream to star Shadow Hawk, the townsfolk accuse her mother of witchcraft just like her grandmother who burned at the stake. Now it is up to Shawndee and Shadow Hawk to save her mother and his people if they accept the love that flows between them.

Cassie Edwards provides an engaging Post Revolutionary War Indian romance starring two wonderful protagonists with responsibilities that conflict with their yearning for one another. The hero knows that by not saving the mother of his beloved the flow of whiskey to his people will stop, but the personal cost is immeasurable. The heroine knows that giving her heart to an Indian means eradicating forever her life long dream of high society and ending her assistance to her mother’s livelihood by supporting her beloved’s prohibition. Together, they make the plot of SAVAGE HONOR sing as the audience gains a delightful, dilemma filled star-crossed lovers’ tale....

4.0 out of 5 stars Quick and easy read. Unique characters. Good romance., October 21, 2003

By A Customer

You can get through this book in a day or two. The plot is smooth and entertaining. You won't get bored, but it never gets extremely intense. Conflicts are present, but are soon resolved in ways that are believable.
It was nice to read about a tribe that you don't hear about very often. This is the first book I've read that was based on the Seneca tribe. It was interesting to learn about their dwellings, etc..
The characters are unique, as well. Shawndee, the leading woman of the story, has been raised to dress and act like a boy. Her mom is a tough talking, rough- around- the- edges tavern owner. The leading man, Shadow Hawk, takes Shanwdee away from it all. He gives her her first dress and treats her like a lady. I liked him alot.
True to Cassie Edwards' writing style, the couple falls instantly in love. No "beating around the bush." But the romance is sweet and heartening. The love scenes are good.
Overall, nice story. Not enthralling, but nice.
