review 1: This was my first book by Magnolia Belle. I couldn't put it down. I loved all the characters in this book. I felt Lana's torment for her love for both men and her family. The decisions she had to make given the circumstances she had to deal with. I was amazed by the historical references in this book. I actually learned a little as well as enjoying a wonderful love story. I can't wait to start the next book.
review 2: It is after the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). Set in Texas. It is the love story of Lana Cooper and Two Hawks, a young Kiowa warrior. What I really like about the book is that the then social custom, cultures are carefully woven within the fabric of the story. The author finds a way to subtly inform the reader about the socio-economic-politica... morel sentiments between the different Native American tribes and the early European settlers.Magnolia Belle also brilliantly portrays and raises our awareness as to how similar and better Kiowa social structure is compared to that of the early European settlers like Lt. Liam O’Connell’s family. Lana Cooper mentions “…unlike my mother, Kiowa wives own their own homes and property….that’s how the power is balanced out.” The author also informs us that “even woman who had been rescued from capture found re-entry into society difficult because of the prejudice of the time.” Readers also learn, as Lana rationalizes, that “one sold slaves in Mexico and other in the eastern seaboard. Both did it for commerce.” Lana concludes in regards to widows that “at least Kiowa solution showed compassion.”What is even more enjoyable is that the book is so easy to read. The plot twists and turns, therefore will hold the readers attention to the end. less
