Summary: Stop yourself before you read this!
Review: You'll thank me.This book was one of the worst I have ever seen! Whenever I'm depressed about my own writing, I take this one off the shelf and it makes me feel better--THATS HOW BAD IT IS. The characters in this are extremely one-dimensional. Nikki is apparently descended from a seafaring family, as she swears more than any sailor I've ever ran across (in real life or in a book). Silver Thorn must be descended from cardboard--he has zero personality and is just there to coo at Nikki. Time travel is a fairly popular genre but this one doesn't even do it justice. Nikki is given the Shawnee name of "Wild Goose" or something like that, because her shoes say "Nike" and Silver Thorn (brainiac that he is) thinks this must be short for the Shawnee word of neeake (Wild Goose--get it?). Nikki also seems to have gone back in time with an endless bag of goodies. She amazes the indian tribe with her bic lighter (but she doesn't smoke). She shares her makeup with the tribe's women. She snaps Polaroids of everyone with a seemingly endless amount of film. Silver Thorn is no better than Nikki and her bag of tricks. He is a shaman and a triplet to a rather famous pair of Indians (I won't spoil it for you) and uses his magic for useful things such as rockslides, charming necklaces, and drawing a tattoo on Nikki's belly so she will believe him when she gets pregnant (I'm not spoiling the story, she gets knocked up about 5 pages into the book). I read a book to suspend reality. I just couldn't with this one. It was laughably bad. Please please, I encourage you not to pick up this book. If you want to read time travel, go with Constance O'Day Flannery or Jude Deveraux. If you want romance with a Native American man, pick up Sara Donati's "Into the Wilderness". The hero is not 100% Native but you'll love the book regardless.
