Love's Spirit To the Cherokee who raised her she was "Wanders Lost," a white orphan in a land ravaged by revolution. To the Moravains of Salem, North Carolina, she was Mary Margaretha, a spirited young woman barely civilized by her years among their prim sisters. To rugged Jacob Blum she was Retha, his new bride, a blazing beauty who stirred his blood. Love's Promise Drawn by a passion that matched Jacob's own, Retha wanted nothing more than to be a loving wife. Yet before she could completely give herself to Jacob, she had to overcome the ghost of her mysterious past, a past whose memories made her tremble at the very touch she so deeply craved.
I mostly read historical ficiton, but I read a lot of historical romance, as well. This is the first historical romance I've ever read that incorporated what I love about both genres so beautifully. Interesting, well developed characters; a multi-layered plot; well researched history; an engrossing relationship. It has it all. I particularly loved the hero and his internal conflict. I've read this book twice now.
Wonderful Story

I bought Wild Indigo to read on an airplane trip. I thought it was great! I had meant to save some of the book for the return trip, but I got so involved in the plot that I had to finish it in the hotel that night.I guess that everyone has their own tastes and not every book will appeal to every reader. Personally, I've read dozens of historical romances and I think this one really shines. The history was interesting, the hero was appealing and the love scenes were steamy!
A great historical romance!

I'm picky about romances, but I loved Wild Indigo. It's a nice change to read about a hero who's a man's man, but still decent and sensitive, not a jerk. The plot was a page-turner as well!
This book is great! A warm, sexy, and interesting romance!

I fell in love with these characters, and the story itself had me both laughing and sobbing. You'll love it!
This book was so wonderful, I cried, and I never cry.

Stanton's warm characters coupled with the Moravian setting make for a romance so fabulous that I think it's the best romance I've read in years. I truly, truly loved this book!
