Summary: An Adventurous Love Story
Review: I enjoyed this book and read it over a rainy weekend. The characters of Heather and Kole are well-drawn and I liked their insights into Indian history and issues. As an author myself, (of a book for mothers, NEW PSALMS FOR NEW MOMS: A KEEPSAKE JOURNAL)I appreciate the attention to detail in the panorama of the American West, the story's setting.

Summary: This is one of my favorites
Review: I have read all of Kathleen Eagle's books and this is one of my favorites. As usual, she writes with a sensitivity that touches my heart in a way few writers are able to do. She is a master when it comes to writing beautiful prose and all of her characters come alive. When I read this story it was as if I was right there on the journey with Kole Kills Crow and Heather Reardon. Being from northern Minnesota, I was especially interested in the setting of this story and thought she did a terrific job depicting this part of the country. This is a beautiful love story I know I will read again and again.

Summary: Kole and Heather make magic
Review: I like to buy books by authors I've read before. Sometimes this limits my selection, but I'll have a good idea whether the author's style pleases me. The first book by Kathleen Eagle that I read was THE NIGHT REMEMBERS. I loved it and have made a point of buying all her books. YOU NEVER CAN TELL won't disappoint romance readers who are looking for a love story that has a page-turning plot. Kole and Heather have a lot of road blocks in the way of their love. That's what makes a page turner. I sat up way past midnight reading this one in a single sitting. Kole doesn't seem attractive as a hero at first. He can even seem threatening to Heather, but when she needs him, he's there and the ending is beautiful, perfect. I loved every word!

Summary: I can tell!
Review: I'm sorry to say that this is one of Kathleen Eagle's less interesting books. I've read them all and enjoyed them, especially as the world she writes about, Native Americans today, is considered honestly and seriously, so the reader is enlightened. This latest one, however, seems to be more concerned with filling us in on the siutation with all Native Americans rather than with the story of Heather and Kole. Heather, a world-class journalist, sets out to get his story. She meets this elusive character so easily, in the first chapter, it's laughable. There is no real tension or relationship between the characters, no real depth. They just seem to be mouthpieces for the Native American Indian Movement. I was sorely disappointed.

Summary: Kathleen Soars Above!
Review: If you are simply seeking an entertaining romance story weaving together two lives as one, this book may disappoint you. The romance element is there and the conversations between the two who fall in love are very funny and entertaining, however there is much more. For anyone interested in the lives and struggles of Indian people today, this book portrays how they are still mistakenly perceived and stereotyped. This is a love story, but with a deeper message for anyone who cares to listen. Just as in "Sunrise Song", I came away from the last page both entertained and educated. Kathleen soars above other writers in the Indian romance genre and delivers beautifully! She has a delightful writing style and has done it for her readers again! Kudos to Kathleen Eagle!

Summary: With Eagle, you CAN tell it will be a wonderful read.
Review: Kathleen Eagle. You Never Can Tell. New York: William Morrow Pub., 2001. 306 pgs. Okay Eagle fans; fasten your seatbelts because we are going on one crazy cross-country ride in a beat-up old camper, room for one, maybe. Kathleen Eagle reintroduces Kole Kills Crow, who has a cameo appearance in her last book, The Last Good Man (definitely a 5-star-read), but with a whole new story and adventure for him to pursue. Kills Crow is in hiding from the world. His past as a Native American activist caused great heartache and hardship and the lost of his beloved wife and child. Now he wants nothing to do with anyone, least of all a nosy, yet persistent, reporter named Heather Riordan who is “a little Cherokee.” Their travels take them from one reservation and American Indian center to the next while they try to legally bring attention to what really matters in today’s Native American affairs, and where will they find the most readily available cameras for this world-wide attention? You guessed it. Hollywood. However, this is no easy or free ride for any of them. As the few people who still believe in the way it should be band together to start their travels to stand up for themselves, one more time, people keep climbing aboard the caravan.
Riordan is getting it all down. The inside scoop. She is also getting an inside scope of this man-of-her-dreams because she remembers-him-when. Will the unlikely beautiful Heather Riordan find a way to bring peace and a little understanding into the heart of a hardened and wronged man? Will the trip end in triumph or will they go bust on there way west? These are questions the author keeps you guessing as you rattle around in the camper and keep your eyes peeled for whatever happens next!
Sexy, adventurous, fun, and meaningful, Kathleen Eagle has done it again. I easily rate this book a 4 out of 5 stars, only because it doesn’t quite catch up to the 5-stars awarded by me to The Last Good Man. One thing for sure, neither of these will go unnoticed as time ticks on in the libraries of today’s world. Congratulations Kathy!

Summary: Eagle Flies High Again
Review: Kole Kills Crow, an AIM-type activist turned mystical flute maker after his escape from federal prison, has been living underground for years, hiding from the law as well as the political enemies he can't name. That is, until Heather Reardon, a freelance journalist, tracks him down on an Ojibwe reservation in Northern Minnesota. She's been following the story of Kole for as long as she can remember, and as far as Heather's concerned, it's time for his story to be told. And she has the skills and the reputation to do so. But will he be a willing participant? Ms. Eagle commands witty dialogue and conveys the sensuality of Heather's and Kole's relationship in such a manner that this book would also be enjoyed outside the romance genre. Fans of Russell Means' "Where White Men Fear To Tread" and the movie "Thunderheart" will love this book and feel like they have the "inside activist story."

Summary: I've read and enjoyed all of Kathleen's books ...
Review: She finally tracked him down in a bar way out in the boonies. She tried to make eye contact but he wouldn't bite so she followed him a long way down the road until he caught her. Heather Reardon wants to do a story on Native American Kole Kills Crow. He had been a popular activist several years' back and one of her particular heroes. He had suffered with his protests, personally as well as trying to help Native Americans. He even served a stretch in prison. He is haunted by his past. Now he is making flutes, living a simple life and has lost all of his energy for causes. He is living in an old cabin in the woods without amenities with his wolf dog. He feels dead inside. Heather is determined to tell his story in a positive light but how can she convince him of that? He has been taken advantage of and been alone for far too long. Heather awakens something in Kole that he thought was long gone. It is passion and a longing for a fulfilling life. He is moved to take a stand for himself and for his people. Kathleen Eagle never fails to enthrall and captivate and she certainly does just that in YOU NEVER CAN TELL. She has always expounded the Native American cause and in this novel, she comes out stronger than ever. It is very political and tells the story of the plight of the Native American through the years in the U.S. The story is mesmerizing as she gets her message across with excellent writing and her love of the Lakota people. Ms Eagle's particular strong suit is her dialog and her knowledge of the humor of the Lakota. She makes a very strong statement for her adopted people as she relates the love story between Heather and Kola. Sometimes funny and always moving, YOU NEVER CAN TELL is a must read for the Kathleen Eagle fan.
