Summary: Quick and easy read. Unique characters. Good romance.
Review: I have found a favorite book, and this is it. I have enjoyed Cassie Edwards' books for years. This is the kind of book that touched me heart and soul. I will keep this one, instead of loaning it to other friends and family book circles. I will probably even read again while waiting for her next best-seller. She kept the story line followed well, the historical facts in order, and again, it's just endearing. The main characters are truly believable. Best one of Cassie's bar none.

Summary: Engaging late eighteenth century Indian romance
Review: 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....

Summary: The world of passion
Review: Savage Honor is a wonderful book, is writtin with passion and desire, some people dont know how to put words in a book but Cassie Edwards sure does. She writes with so much pleasure. And the book has a messege too, that sometimes what you see isnt really there. All the books of Cassie are good. Congratulations Cassie, and keep writing with that passion.

Summary: Just awful
Review: SAVAGE HONOR is the tale of Shawndee, a girl forced to dress as a boy so as not to tempt the drunks that frequent her mother's saloon. Shadow Hawk, a Seneca chief, is appalled by his fellow warriors, who go to the saloon most every night to get 'firewater.' He wants to run Shawndee and her mother out of town, as do the rest of the town's 'respectable' citizens. Shadow Hawk thinks that if he kidnaps Shawndee, or 'Andrew' as she is called, he will run the old woman out of town. Or something like that. I didn't get past the first few chapters because the writing is atrocious. The dialogue is unbelievable. They all talk with an excessive amount of ellipses that are supposed to convey hesitant speech, but are just annoying. Shawndee and Shadow Hawk fall in love almost instantly. It is as if Ms. Edwards is just feeding the reader the story instead of letting it flow on its own. I tried another of her books, SAVAGE DESTINY, and again I couldn't get past the first chapter it was so bad. I don't see how this book could have gotten the reviews it did. I might try Ms. Edwards one more time, though not another Savage Etc. book, but only once more and only because I like the whole Native American/white romance sub-genre. Please, don't waste your money on this one.

Summary: Another 5 Stars for Cassie Edwards!
Review: This story is set in 1784, Shawndee Sibley is working as a tavern mistress for her mother's establishment serving whiskey to the town patrons, when she is captured by Shadow Hawk, a Seneca warrior set out to save his people from being corrupted by the Sibley's whiskey. Shadow Hawk thinks he's caught Mrs. Sibley's son, when in fact, it's a girl dressed up to look like a boy, and Shadow Hawk goes from captor to captured by the heart.

Summary: Quick and easy read. Unique characters. Good romance.
Review: 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.
