This is a brilliant book, well written and expertly plotted with in-depth characterizations. The relatonship between the white protagonist and the Indian hero is beautifully orchestrated. As Katrina is exposed to and learns about the culture of the Blackfoot Indians so does the reader. This book helped to remove a veil of ignorance I had regarding our native American heritage. That alone makes it a great read. It is also a mystery, not a who done it type, but involving how the conflict of cultures is going to be resolved on a personal basis. To my surprise, I found much of my own life mirrored in this book as we all run into conflicts regarding "now I'm supposed to" and what we really want to do in our hearts. You'll learn more about yourself through White Eagle's Touch.

Katrina Wellington wanted to marry a marquess, but needed the approval of her uncle, since she was not of age to receive her inheritance. The uncle insisted she and her fiance must travel to the Northwest Territory to meet him first. They agreed.

White Eagle joined them for the end of the journey. Sparkes immediately blazed between Katrina and White Eagle. Katrina was known as Shines Like Moonlight until age five. At that age, her parents were killed in a flood and the uncle sent Katrina to New York as her father had wished.

Moonlight had returned as a spoiled, pampered, determined, brave, and passionate woman. White Eagle set out to claim her for his own. First there was the marquess to deal with. Then they must rescue the uncle from another tribe.

***Ahhh, very romantic! Oh, how I enjoyed watching Moonlight and White Eagle go head-to-head. (I have hope that the maid, Rebecca, will receive her own story.) Very entertaining and good plot.***

The first 100 pages of the book had me worried. The prose is not always engaging, and the dialogue can be excruciatingly repetitive: "Come." "No." "Come on." "I won't." "Come with me." "I refuse." ....AAARGH! I suppose that the characters' stubbornness is meant to be charming, but I just found that it made the story drag.

Fortunately, the book is saved by its charming hero. I had gotten so used to misogynistic alpha male heroes that I forgot that there was any other kind! White Eagle is so sweet and loving and loyal that you can't help but sigh. The fact that the romance between hero and heroine started in their childhood made it feel all the more genuine.

The setting of the story is also rich with Blackfoot culture. If you're looking for a story in a Native American/frontier setting and you like your heroes sweet and romantic, then this is for you.

Karen Kay is an excellent author and keeps your mind wondering throughout her books. I had a hard time putting her books down for any length of time. Excellent and easy reading. Thank you Karen Kay.

Katrina and White Eagle are wonderful characters who found each other a second time in a lifetime. This book is full of surprises. I've enjoyed reading this book and I recommend reading it. I find I'm still thinking about Katrina and White Eagle. What a story!! Karen Kay is still my favorite - one of my favorite Authors....

This is so far one of my favourite books written by Karen Kay.
I have read every single one of her books and I enjoyed them very much...all in all, this is a must read! :) have a great day.

Another great American Indian story by Ms. Kay. All the ingredients of a thoroughly enjoyable read abound. In this particular story, however, I had trouble with the heroine (totally a personal thing). She was spoiled, snotty and condescending, and repeatedly obtuse - as she was meant to be. While understanding the reasons and appreciating the growth shown, I just never could muster up enough sympathy to believe she deserved someone like White Eagle.

Karen Kay writes so beautifully and I constantly am swept through her books through the emotions of the characters. You can feel what they are going through and understand their actions.

White Eagle's Touch is no exception. In fact, this is definitely one of my favorites. It probably has to do with the hero. He is quite simply one of the best leading male character's I've read in any romance novel. Nobel, kind and full of passion.

I loved this book.

I have most of Ms Karen Kay's books, except the books that are out of print. WHITE EAGLE TOUCH is one of my favorites, it is touching as it is funny. Ms Kay you are an awesome writer. I look forward for your upcoming books..
