"Well-written and entertaining"
In 1852 Wyoming, eight year old Mitzi "Misshi" Bradley
has had plenty of recent sorrow with the death of her
mother in childbirth and that of her father from an Indian
attack. Left with only a teenage brother to care for her,
Misshi is abducted by renegade Chief Bear of the Bannock
tribe during a raid of the wagon train that included the
two Bradleys. A decade later, Chief Bear's son Soaring Hawk knows
that the confrontation between he and his sire is coming
soon. Ten years ago, Soaring Hawk left his father's tribe
to start anew in peace and has succeeded in his endeavor.
However, he knows he needs help before challenging his
father. He turns to Chief Washakie where he meets Misshi,
who was kindly raised by this benevolent tribe. Misshi and
Soaring Hawk immediately recognize in the other their soul
mate, but their shared past converging at the pivotal
figure, his evil father, makes a permanent relationship
seem impossible. Though Cassie Edwards has often told tales of star-
crossed lovers in her "Savage" series, her latest tale
SAVAGE MOON is a well-written entertaining entry. The
story line is action packed and loaded with angst as the
lead couple falls in love while just about everyone except
for Chief Washakie (who has doubts) oppose this
relationship. Ms. Edwards is one of the best at emotion-
laden forbidden lovers' tales and this book will enhance
her esteem amidst sub-genre readers. Harriet Klausner
