Cassie Edwards (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 2002 | Series: Leisure Historical Romance

Hunted by the fiend who'd killed his illustrious cousin Crazy Horse, Black Wolf fears for the lives of his people, even as a flash flood forces him to accept the aid of gentle, golden-haired Madeline Penrod. The raging waters of the Ohio River make all their lives precarious--as precarious as his control over his senses when he gazes into Maddy's welcoming green eyes.

This review is from: Savage Wonder (Leisure Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

The story started out great. A Sioux Indian rescued from flood by a beautiful young white woman. Maddy, the all-too-caring gentle woman nurses Black Wolf to health. They fall in love without even a blink or second thought. Other than Black Wolf and Maddy, I agree with the other reviewer that said the other characters like Maddy's younger sister and the big bad Sheriff didn't cause you any excitment expected from Ms. Edwards. A little disappointed, but still a good story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read. Whimpy leading lady was a bit annoying., October 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Savage Wonder (Leisure Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

The story overall was entertaining. Personally, I like leading ladies who have some guts. This one was just too soft for me to believe that she would willingly run off with an indian chief. She couldn't bere to have dirty foot prints on her cabin floor. She couldn't even stand to go fishing because she didn't want to kill a fish.
I actually preferred the character of her younger sister, who participated in hunting and warrior challenges. I would have been glued to the book if more time had been spent upon developing her character.
Usual Cassie Edwards timeline has the leading couple falling in love within 24 hours of first meeting one another. This is hard to believe, but expected from her stories.
Again, it was entertaining and worth the read. I'd like to see a sequel that tells the story of the younger sister. I believe it would be far more exciting.

3.0 out of 5 stars A very nice story but lacked umph!!, July 28, 1998

This review is from: Savage Wonder (Leisure Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

The story started out great. A handsome, strong Sioux Indian rescued by a beautiful young white woman. What's better than that? Maddy, the caring gentle woman nurses Black Wolf to health. They fall in love and behold a blooming romance begins. Other than Black Wolf and Maddy, other characters like Maddy's younger sister, Jaimie, and the bad Sheriff, Ferris Boyd, didn't cause you any excitment expected from the works of Cassie Edwards. The story tend to carry on toying with the idea "should I read it now or later" type attitude. A bit disappointed, but still a good read.
