review 1: I am totally at a loss of what to say about how much I LOVED this book. Normally I'm not super into books/movies set in this time period, but I thought I would give it a shot because the summary sounded interesting, and I am quite glad that I did!The characters were all wonderfully written, VERY "fleshed-out". I loooved Ginger's personality. It is just so amazing for someone in this time period and social setting. I could very much relate with her.Overall I thought it was extremely well written, it didn't seem overly cliche or "mushy". I really enjoyed reading about the various events in this book, and I will DEFINITELY be reading more books by this author (and in this series).I recieved this book through the GoodReads First Reads Giveaway. This has not affected my review ... morein any way.
review 2: This is a must-read for any history buff. From the opening chapter, I knew I held something special in my hands. The heroine--strong, independent Ginger Fitzpatrick--is Bloomer-deep in developing women's rights. The hero, Joseph Lafontaine, is half French-Canadian, half Ojibwa Indian. The moment they meet, the sparks fly. This alone would be enough to get me hooked (when was the last time you read a well-written Western/Native American romance?), but then author Becky Lower took it even further by incorporating real-life historical events. The climax of the book--Missouri, November 1, 1855--was stunning. Couldn't put it down. Will definitely pick up the next book in the series when it releases to see what trouble the twins get into! less
