And a few reviews:
This is about the 4th book that I actually cried..... I know this is only fiction but what a story!!! Excellent Lisa Day. I hope you will write more stories like this.
I enjoyed this book to the max. I love reading Native American romance novels, but lately was bored with the stories that were either plagiarized or lacked depth. Either or it was just not fun until I came upon this wonderful story. In the Wolfkeeper's mind he wanted the woman's body, heart, and soul and would not have it any other way. Ms. Day, you have made this reader a follower of yours.
Wow this story was so engrossing that I didn't put it down until I finished, I read this in one night. It was that good in my opinion..An excellent read. I loved it.
I seriously enjoyed reading Wolfkeeper's Woman by Lisa Day. It's been years since I have read a historical romance about Native American Indians. Lisa managed to remind me why I loved them so much, and why I started reading romance to begin with. Wolfkeeper's Woman toyed with my emotions. It made me angry. It made me sad. It then made me care about Wolfkeeper. …...
A Powerful Battle of Wits Between Opposing Forces! A story filled of fascination, surrender, revenge, loss,despair, grieve, survival and ultimately love. The book focuses on the idea of family: the extent to which a woman will go to have a child of her own to love and also one mother's unwavering love for her son which causes her to go to any lengths to protect him and keep him alive while trying to survive ....
I also think this book is about self-preservation and determination as the main character tries to adapt to her environs. It is a novel of courage and highlights what happens when risks are taken. Finally, without any spoilers, it is a story of love which transcends race and goes against the sensibilities of personal beliefs. In the end it is about redemption and acceptance.
