Summary: Powwow Pickup
Review: As a avid reader, I go through books of multiple types like candy. It is at times, very difficult to keep me engrossed. This book was gripping from the first page. The author has managed to include native american lore, romance, mystery and plain good fiction while at the same time staying realistic. The combination is very difficult to find in one place, not so with Powwow Pickup. The author's ability to reach into the human heart and pull out emotions that all of us have probably felt at some time is uncanny. The author is truelly on the rise.

Summary: Romance Lovers Rejoice!
Review: Forty-two year old Ilianna Marshall has a job, a house, her hobbies, and a best friend, but no romance to erase the remnants of an unhappy marriage and lonely nights. Attending a powwow and meeting Chebon Charboneau, a Native American, remedies that problem. The two share a weekend of love that will last for a lifetime--she hopes and he promises. She hopes she's not being used. She doesn't want to be just a powwow pickup. She wants desperately to believe Chebon's promises, but should she?

Leanna Potts writes a fulfilling story of a woman's hunger for love and the cost of satisfaction. Lovers of romance stories will savor every moment Ilianna and Chebon spend together. And, the way the book ends, romance lovers will beg for the sequel.

Summary: Good Summer Reading
Review: Have just finished a great summer time read, "PowWow Pickup" by Leanna Potts. The heroine Ilianna Marshall is recovering, but slowly, from a loveless marriage. As therapy she attends a local powwow. She also hopes it will get her in touch with her Native American background which has largely been ignored by her mother. While there, she meets and falls in love with Chebon, a Grass Dancer

The author paints a vivid picture of the modern powwow. One can see the costumes, hear the drums, smell the dust and gain understanding of this little known slice of ethnic culture. Tenderly and with sensitive awareness of her needs Chebon breaks through the shell Ilianna has built around herself. Would that we all could have such a lover!

The surprising ending sends a realistic message about romance in the Twenty First century. Well written, with lively dialogue, colorful descriptions and true to life situations, Powwow Pickup is bound to hold your interest.

Summary: I can't wait for the sequels!
Review: I LOVED this book and couldn't put it down until I finished. It's a romance set in a contemporary Native American background, which is difficult to find today. Illiana, the main character, is a woman still bitter after a divorce, but who feels an instant attraction that she resists to Chebon, a grass dancer she meets at a powwow. He overcomes her insecurities and uncertainties about getting to know him, and they have a short, wonderful romance. The sense of loss and betrayal Illiana feels when she and Chebon part is palpable. The author has a great ability to make her characters real, interesting, and strongly capturing the reader's empathy. I look forward to more from this writer.
