Not one of those silly reads

Cynthia is the sweet innocent preacher's daughter of Dead Wood, SD whom rescues a Lakota brave named Red Wolf from the town's unjustified lynching. For her Christian nature she is ridiculed and learns first hand how much hate the whites harbor in their hearts. Later she is captured by a group of vengeful Lakota Warriors and carried off to Red Wolf's camp. Here she opens her soul to the Lakota Nation and her heart to Red Wolf's tender touch. The story is filled with adventure, war, and steamy sweet romance. Ms. Bittner included a lot of historical facts in this interesting read as she wrote how things really were between the whites and Indians of the plains. I appreciate the fact there was no jealous Indian maiden trying to steal her man back from the white virgin, instead she created the village women with respect and sympathy. There was no evil Lakota Warrior lusting after the captive girl and no braves fighting to take her from Red Wolf, instead she wrote the warriors realistically and loyal to one another. She also recreated the prejudice and abuse whites inflicted upon the return of captives. Anyhow it was good read and a romance not to be forgotten.

SHY AS A DOE A preacher's daughter in Deadwood, South Dakota, blonde and innocent Cynthia Wells rarely left the safety of her father's home. But when the kind-hearted girl heard an Indian boy was to hang the next day in revenge for some miners' deaths, Cynthia was filled with anger and bravery. Stealing out at night to release the poor, primitive child, she was shocked to discover the redskinned captive was a handsome, naked man! Irresistibly drawn to him, Cynthia cut free his bonds ... and yearned for his hard-muscled arms to make her a prisoner of his embrace! BOLD AS A STALLION Courageous Red Wolf was ready to meet the Great Spirit when he saw a gorgeous white woman step up to his gallows in the moonlight. He thought he was dead already until he felt her golden hair tickle his arm and her full breasts press against his chest as she sliced away his ropes. Grateful for his life, he swore he'd teach her how the red man could love! He'd stroke her ivory skin to ecstasy, and trace her luscious curves until she was sated time and again by his shameless Sioux Splendor.
Passionate and moving
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Written in the 1980's romance style, this book was eventful, sensual and descriptive. The hero and heroine are separated for an unexpectedly long period-- during which my interest in the book waned and I shelved it for a number of months. I'm glad I picked it back up, though, since the ending is truly worth the wait. I was most dismayed by the novel's insensitive portrayal of homosexuals, esp. a homosexual man with a sympathetic situation of his own. There are graphic descriptions of violence that can be horrifying. Bittner certainly seemed determined to turn the tables on Western revisionist history. The novel is most memorable for the romance, however, which is warm and well-developed.
Where can I find a man like Red Wolf? Great book!!!

Ilove this book so much that I bought it. I appreciate how the book talks about the Native Americans side.You find out that the white men were doing the wrong. The Indians had a very wonderful life that didn't need gold,money, perfume just natural resources. I reccomend it.
