Savage Ecstasy

Summary: Their love was fanned by forbidden flames...
Review: It was like lightning striking, the first time they looked into each other's eyes: Gray Eagle, the captured Indian brave, and Alisha, the beautiful young settler. As the proud Oglala warrior was being tortured by his white captors, only Alisha seemed to notice that he was a human being -- handsome and strong, and one who took her breath away. But if Alisha could have read Gray Eagle's thoughts she would have been even more disturbed. Because from the moment he saw her, the Indian knew that he had to possess the fair-skinned one -- and his life would not be complete until he had made her his slave!

Summary: this is love?
Review: Maybe I am just not romantic enough, but it seems to me that Alisha is suffering from a really bad case of Stockholm Syndrome: she loves a man who behaves horribly most of the time. For every caress are several scowls. I found her somewhat silly (I love you! I hate you! being screamed within seconds of each other). This series doesn't measure up to Janelle Taylor's Destiny Mine.

Summary: Garbage!
Review: This book contains all of the worst cliches of Native/white relationships. He treats her cruelly when they first meet, but she cannot help but be attracted to him. He makes her his slave and she loves him. He tortures her emotionally and she loves him. He offers her to another brave and she loves him. He nearly whips her to death and she loves him. He threatens to kill many innocent people unless she comes back to him, and she does. And on the very last page he finally decides he loves her and that they will live happily ever after. Crap, crap and more crap. I wish I could give it less than 1 star! I will avoid this author like the plague from now on.
