Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bad book
Review: Briana Collins is an affluent artist who comes to the Minnesota Territory from Paris' finest art academy. While she has dreams of painting the beautiful wilderness her Uncle Arden, better known as "Blackie," wants her to be his arm piece at political parties to advance his career. Solemn but adjusting to the situation, Briana is content with her passion in life, painting, until, she meets Night Hawk.

Night Hawk, future Chief of his band of Chippewa is also proud son of Echohawk and Mariah, also known as No-din. He is a fiercely handsome brave who follows in his father's footsteps believing in peace amongst the Indians and whites. However he vows never to fall for a white woman, even though his mother is white, yet cannot help but resist the creamy alabaster skin of the lovely Briana.

Brought together in the forests of Minnesota Territory and torn apart by her Uncle Blackie, along with various other characters from the previous novel, Wild Ecstasy, you feel as if somehow this "love" can conquer all. However I didn't even find any love in this book. All too quickly Night Hawk and Briana are thrust together proclaiming their love when few words were even uttered between the two. I found myself hating Chief Echohawk and could not read his parts at the end of the book. I fell in love with his character in the previous book only to feel that he was degraded and not lived up to, basically turning him into a liar. There were a lot of unnecessary tragedies in this book. I could see if it was pertaining to the whites and Native Americans, because we know of the wars that they've gone through, but there is hardly any associations with the whites in this book except for Briana and her Uncle Blackie. I was disgusted by the book but forced myself to finish it, hoping there would be a good ending. It ended the same way it began, in a rush.

My advice? Skip the book. If you do want to buy it, get a used copy, save yourself a few dollars.
