"Great Native American Shifter Romance!"
Christina Rainwater, is a healer for a Native American
tribe. Yet, because she's not full-blooded Native American,
many in her tribe won't accept her. However, Falcon
Hunter, a falcon who has come to visit Christina since she
was sixteen years old, hates that his people won't accept
her. Hunter, a falcon-shifter believes that Christina is a
reincarnation of his wife who has passed on, but will he
risk everything to show her who he truly is? Christina, has
no idea who the falcon is, or why he has taken up with her,
but he's everywhere she is. Every time she looks into his
eyes, she feels a deep connection, and she knows that she
would feel lost without him... Then one day, as Christina is helping out her Grandmother,
Spring Rain, she loses her balance on a ladder, from out of
nowhere, strong bronze arms swoop down, and lower her to
the ground. Yet, when Christina glances back up, the only
one around her is the falcon. At first, she thinks it's the
falcon, but that's crazy, or is it? But Falcon is at a crossroads. Christina is in her seventh
reincarnation, and it's now or never, if he wants to be
with her forever. But, since Christina sees Falcon as just
that, a falcon, she's carrying on with her life, as any
woman in her 20's would, seeing other men and working. It
pains Falcon to see her with another man, and it pains him
even more knowing that if he doesn't do something soon,
he'll never be able to be with her EVER again... This was a fantastic read! Brannon does a great job, of
infusing Native American culture into this shifter
novella. I really enjoyed how since Christina was in her
seventh reincarnation, she brought back repressed memories
through dreams. You'll find yourself rooting for Christina
and Falcon Hunter throughout the entire story! At some
points, the storyline does seem rushed, but looking back,
no major plot lines or the ending were affected because of
it. Falcon Hunter is a roller-coaster of a story; you'll be
gasping, and wondering if they'll pull through, and then
smiling when it's all said and dead, over and over. The
storyline was very smooth, and I loved the way Brannon
showed the different viewpoints of each of the characters,
even if the same portion of the story was taking place. I
loved every minute reading it!
There are some short, highly charged sex/sex-related
scenes, but nothing to lead you away from the main
storyline.
