Zebras Books

In a post-Earthquake California, survival is a matter of who has the bigger gun and more ammo. This is a great read, with great characters. The main hero is a bad dude, but somehow he's pretty "good" when compared to everybody else around him. Recommended.

I thought the book was a great, easy read. Similar to a Mac Bolan book, but much more apocalyptic. I only wish I could find all six volumes.

I was first introduced to the 6 book series with this book..i usually read lots of magazines..im not much of a book reader..but this i could not put down..some scenes can be a little vulgar and graphic but it is still a great book..i urge you to read the entire series..it is worth it..and at only 2 bucks a book..what a minimal investment to so much entertainment

This 3rd novel in a sixpack series is one of the best. A space shuttle is used to penetrate the toxic bubble that has cut off California from the rest of the U.S. Eric Ravensmith - The WARLORD - is in the midst of a battle against his former military boss whom has gathered an army of ex-cons to take over the island of California, and taking Ravensmith's son to rear as his own bloodson. Its up to Eric Ravensmith to once again become the WARLORD to save his son and the fate of the island of California. Plus he has to find a way to get to the space shuttle before the bad guys do! Awesome action/adventure.

FANTASTIC series. Rugged individualism at its best in an apocalyptic setting. This series will not let you down as it is enormously entertaining. I actually went and bought a crossbow after reading the series.

Wealthy Alex English intends to make the World's Columbian Exposition Agricultural Forum a success. When a man almost strangles his daughter who works there, his sensibilities rebel. His attempts to dismiss Kate Finney are thwarted by his partners, who remind him that integrity and honor come in various packages.

With her mother dying of consumption, Kate works two jobs to support her family. Alex's outrageous judgment offends her, and she finds his odd interest in her and her family unnerving. She has fought the image of a cheap slum girl all of her life, and she does not hesitate to use a strong offence for her defense. Indeed, her strong spirit dazzles Alex and manages to break through his looming fussiness and cold judgments.

Alice Duncan's mesmerizing voice sparkles in A BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO. Opposites clash as Kate and Alex struggle to overcome their mutual prejudices. Kate assumes Alex as born with a silver spoon his mouth, underestimating the incredible hard work he has devoted to rebuilding his family's fortunes. Alex assumes a workingwoman who engages in fortune telling and Egyptian dancing must be a harlot. Set during an exciting period of American history filled with new discoveries and inventions, Duncan infuses her novel with the strengths and the struggles of the era. A dramatic subplot tempers the novel with the tragedies that confront ordinary people, thereby balancing the amusing with the tragic. A BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO comes highly recommended.

Alice Duncan is an excellent author. She composed the Meet Me at the Fair series and A Bicycle Built for Two is the third book in this series. I like Alice Duncan's books because her writing is suspenseful, which makes you want to finish the book without stopping. I like trying to predict what will happen next. However Alice Duncan's stories are unpredictable with many surprises.

A Bicycle Built for Two is a third person story about a young woman, Kate, who tries to care for her ill mother and keep her jobs despite the threats of her abusive father and opposition of her superior.

I would recommend A Bicycle Built for Two for people who read at least at the 6th grade level. There are some difficult words that are understood when taken in context. The dictionary is useful for understanding the story.

If you like books about people in challenging life-like situations with surprise endings, then this absorbing book is for you!

A BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO is a rollicking ride into the gay nineties and a look
at life on the wrong side of the tracks. Alex is part of the rich
aristocracy and quite the snob when it comes to associating with the
unfortunate people of the lower classes. He has the absurd idea that the
poor are simply down on their luck because they choose to be. He is
exasperating and sometimes so naive that he frustrates me. Kate is an
acid-tongued young woman who is rude and pushy to the extent you want to
shake her out of it. When Alex's rose-colored vision of life meets Kate's
every day reality there is an explosion of fireworks. Alex is brought down
to humility and Kate is brought up to the realization that there is kindness
in the world. Ms. Duncan has penned a fine adventure. A BICYCLE BUILT FOR
TWO is a delightful story and not to be missed!

Diana Risso, Romance Reviews Today

This is the third and last book in the "Meet Me At the Fair" series by
Alice Duncan. It's every bit as good as the first two were! This one tells
the story of Kate Finney. In the second story, Kate's father attacked her
and Belle saved Kate by beating her father with an umbrella. Now, this
third book is Kate's story.

It starts off with snobbish Alex English aghast that someone actually had
the audacity to do that at the World's Columbian Exposition. He decides
that he must go and meet this Kate Finney and let her know that things of
that sort are just not the thing! Alex has no idea that feisty Kate will
give him a run for his money! She's holding down two jobs trying to make
ends meet and taking care of her mother. She especially wants to keep her
mother's whereabouts from her father as her mother is very ill with
consumption and isn't long for the world.

When Alex confronts Kate she gives him as good as he gives her so he
decides to investigate her further. He's shocked by what he finds and
decides then and there that he will help her and her family. The problem
is Kate will have no part of Alex or his help. After all she has her pride.
She has no way of knowing that when Alex gets his claws into something he's
like a bulldog! Both Alex and Kate have a few lessons to learn about each
other as well.

This delightful story as well as the whole series was a joy to read. I
absolutely enjoyed the entire series of books and eagerly look forward to
what Alice Duncan will come up with to entertain us so thoroughly! Kathy Boswell, The Best Reviews

Alice Duncan superbly recreates the 1890's in this terrific tale of two people from completely different worlds who find what they didn't know they were looking for in each other.

Alex English is a fastidious, stuffy, proper gentleman farmer who is extremely proud of his participation in the World's Columbian Exposition being held in Chicago. For him, the Expo showcases all that is good about America and should be an educational and uplifting experience for all who attend - and he will not allow anything to taint it. But when a young woman who works at the Expo is attacked (and by her own father!), Alex is outraged and decides she has to go - can't have this sort of unpleasantness spoiling the Expo!

For Kate Finney, the Expo is just an opportunity to make a bit more money to support herself and her mother. She's working two jobs, one at a fortune-telling booth and the other as an "Egyptian" dancer. But her worthless drunk of a father has not only threatened her life, but now her livelihood - for when Alex English shows up, she knows with dread exactly why he's come. But she's not going without a fight, darn it! Alex is completely unprepared for her outrage and her fighting spirit! He's never met anyone like Kate Finney!

Once Alex gets over the shock of his initial meeting with Kate, he becomes curious about her and learns of her desperate family circumstances. Kate is waging a one-woman battle against poverty, an abusive, dangerous father and the tuberculosis ravaging her beloved mother. When Alex takes steps to make what may be her mother's last weeks or months as comfortable as possible, Kate is initially suspicious and resentful. But over time, she realizes that Alex is genuinely a nice guy with only pure motives. Gee, it would be real nice to have a man like that in her life, but he's not for the likes of her - poor Kate Finney from the slums of Chicago. As for Alex, he's come to admire Kate - she's smart, strong and beautiful and he longs to knock that chip off her shoulder and make her life better. Would she even let him?

In a genre full of sometimes tawdry and empty stories with characters who manipulate and deceive one another, this was a breath of fresh air! Well developed characters that you really care about and a terrific story. Highly recommended!

I agree with a lot of opinions from below reviewers, including that this was Ms. Ferguson's best Regency romance story, but I felt I must subtract one star because I think its mystery plot was a bit weak. The biggest flaw was the first carriage accident when Timothy first discovered Serenity; it was just way too chancy of plot--everybody was dead except the heroine and lost her memory, how convenient, it was just too big of gamble for the villain to plan; and there were few other smaller incidences, although they were more believable of their likelihood, but villain's motive behind them was kind of stretched. So I would say that this was a very pleasant and touching romance story with a Christmas flavor, but can probably leave out its mystery sub-plot.

I had not read any books by this author before, I thought it was one of the better christmas romance stories that I have read to date. It keeps you guessing right up until the end, and makes it a book you do not want to put down until the conclusion.

Timothy Crawford has been writing to his grandfather with tales of the woman he loves--Serenity Adams. His grandfather has asked Timothy to bring this paragon of womanhood home to meet the family. Unfortunately this paragon is not real, and Timothy realizes that he will have to reveal that truth to his grandparent during a family gathering. As he and his cousin are en route to the family estate, they come upon a carriage accident and discover one survivor. It is a woman who fits the physical description of Serenity perfectly. When she awakens, she has no memory of anything.. Jo Ann Ferguson has written another wonderful novel. She mixes just the right amounts of humor, sentiment, passion, and adventure to guarantee a story to enchant her audience from page one until the final word.

Timothy Crawford may be a viscount, but he loves to build things. So even though his grandfather, the Earl of Brookindale, continuously tells him to let the business men run the family businesses, Timothy just has to keep his hands in the work. To sooth the Earl, Timothy and his cousin, Felix Wayne, tells the Earl that Timothy has found the woman of his dreams. Timothy names this non-existent lady Serenity Adams. When the Earl insists on meeting the woman Timothy knows he is in trouble. He is expected to present his wonderful fiancée during the Earl's seventieth birthday celebration on Christmas Eve. Fearing he will be disinherited, Timothy still decides to do the right thing. He will go to the Earl and tell the truth. So Timothy and Felix depart on a journey to Cheyney Park.

"Fate" is not only a fickle lady, but one with a sense of adventure. This is proven when the two gentlemen find an overturned carriage. All within the carriage are dead. However, one lady had been thrown out. The men believe her to be the lady's maid of one of the deceased. There is nothing around to identify any of them. The sole survivor did not escape totally uninjured. She has no memory. Since she matches the image of the fantasy fiancée, Felix seizes the opportunity that Fate has given them and convinces the woman to masquerade as Timothy's "Serenity" until after the holidays.

***** This is, in my opinion, the BEST regency romance that Jo Ann Ferguson has written thus far! Readers may enjoy this tale at any time of year, because Christmas is only mentioned during the scenes of decorating and because the Earl's birthday is around the same time. The author focus on the main characters, Timothy and Serenity, and not on the season.

Many authors add a child to the story so s/he will touch the heart of the reader. Usually, the child is mean, spoiled, or mute. Apparently the author is as tired of these scenarios as the readers are. Yet the holiday season seems more special with children around. This dilemma is neatly stepped around by what must be a wonderful brain storm on the author's part. Meet Theodora who is ten-years-old but looks six. For reasons revealed in the story, "Uncle Timothy" and the Earl placed the child in the care of a nurse since birth. She cannot use her legs. One arm/hand does not work. The other arm/hand has limited movement. She is friendly, smart, very observant, and definitely NOT mute. You cannot miss what you never knew, so she is content in her room. Of course, Serenity is NOT content and goes about changing things for the better.

Did the author stop there? She could have and this would have still been a "five star" regency tale. Instead a subtle sub-plot is added. This novel proves that Jo Ann Ferguson has a shining talent for writing in the Regency genre! Highly recommended for ANY time of year. I recommend that it be read during the colder season for atmosphere though. *****

Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

Why I didn't find this book last Christmas is a mystery. Better late than never, however. It is certainly a book that can be read--and enjoyed--at any time of the year. There is the customary family get-together, new traditions (a tree in the house! an idea from Germany) as well as old ones (ringing the chapel bell once for each year since the birth of Christ, 1818 peals in all.) There is a sometimes irascible grandfather who longs to see his oldest heir married. And a mystery. Who is the young woman known as Serenity Adams?

The two cousins, Timothy Crawford and Felix Wayne are on their way to Christmas with their grandfather, the Earl of Brookindale, at Cheyney Park in the north of England when they come upon an accident. Of the three inhabitants of the carriage that has gone over the side of a hill, two are dead. The other, a young woman, has suffered a severe blow to her head, which has resulted in amnesia. Purely by chance, the young woman greatly resembles the imaginary fiancée the the young man have created for Timothy, in lieu of the real thing.

For Timothy is an enlighted young man, devoting many hours each day to the care and enlargement of his grandfather's business interests. Such activity has discouraged several young ladies in the past, so he has created the perfect example in Serenity. The young man is not at all looking forward to his grandfather's seventieth birthday party on Christmas Eve, at which time he'll have to confess his falsehoods.

But the young woman, not knowing her real identity nor where she belongs, dressed as she is in servant's clothing, agrees to accompany the men to Cheyney Park. This is as much to recuperate as to set in motion the inquiries that will hopefully find her own real family and allow her to go home once again.

In spite of not knowing who she is, what she is quickly becomes very evident: a young woman of quality. Timothy is soon head over ears in love with her, and hesitantly, she reciprocates, knowing full well the relationship may well have to be abandoned if she is not worthy to be a countess.

This is very much a feel-good book, and when the villain gets his comeuppance, you'll chuckle in spite of yourself. And probably shed a tear or two when a very young lady takes her 'turn'. An added enjoyable ingredient is the author's own variety of Regency slang, or language, not usually encountered in other books. All in all, a book that should live on for several more Holiday Seasons.

Oh this is one funny book! A rare treat for a historical romance reader. Fans of Lynsay Sands older books (before the vampires) will love this. Its hate-turns-to-love and slapstick comedy rolled into one.

The Incomparable Lady Sarah thinks that she has killed her fiance when she knocks him over the head with a small statue. Serves him right. The brute actually attempted to rape her in order to seal the marriage deal. Without any witnesses and with her father out of the country Sarah fears that no one will believe her. So she flees her former fiance estate in the middle of a stormy night.

While partaking in one of his favorite pastimes, hunting, Geoffrey spots a mud soaked unconscious woman at the bottom of a ravine. He quickly takes her to his home.........and that, later on he would realize, was his first mistake. For Geoffrey never expected the exquisitely beautiful woman to be a sharp tongued harpy bent on making his life miserable. And it turns out that she has amnesia! So she has to stay with him?!?! Damnation! How much can the poor devil take?

I loved this book. So hilarious. Sarah (aka Amy) really knew how to make poor Geoffrey crazy. As the leader of the ton, she is a complete snob and turns her nose down at seemingly everything. Geoffrey on the other hand considers himself a country gentleman (even though he is an Earl). And despises London and the ton. So he challenges Sarah to become more country-ish. She proceeds to make a mess out the kitchen and mend his shirts crookedly. He buys her an ugly dress. She steals his clothes. His temper explodes. And she tells him that his kisses must be poor. LOL! It goes on and on. And it even gets better when they get to London!

How these two get together is a miracle. For he is practically engaged already and she is wanted for murder. The reader is taken on one very funny adventure from beginning to end. The only minor quibble I have is the lack of a love scene -it would have been explosive! Other than that I highly recommend this as a humorous historical romance.

Some other funny historical romance that I have enjoyed;
Simply Scandalous (Zebra Debut)
Love Is Blind (Leisure Historical Romance)

Cindy Holbrook has the knack for writing funny romances. This novel is a keeper and something to be re-read.

Lady Sarah, London society Incomparable and heiress, hits the Duke of Ravenwich, her fiance, on the head with a statue of Pan when he attempts to rape her to compromise her and then tries to strangle her when she resists. Frightened that she has killed him and with her father in Africa so he cannot protect her from hanging for murder, she flees into the night in her dress and a shawl on one of his horses. The horse throws her when it is frightened by lightening. While fleeing on foot in the rain, she loses her footing and rolls down a hill into a pond. Geoffrey, the Earl of Gray, is out hunting when he finds her soaked, muddy, and unconscious by the pond. He slings her over his shoulder and takes her home. (Lady Sara is a statuesque 5 feet 9 and Lord Gray is quite a bit larger than Sara.) Because Geoffrey is a country gentleman and dislikes London, he does not know who Sara is so Sara feigns amnesia in order to bide her time at Lord Grey's estate until her father comes back from Africa. Because she says she does not know her name, they decide to call her Amy. Geoffrey is stubborn and a tyrant and Sara is willful and spoiled. After Sara comes down in Geoffrey's clothes to dinner one evening, Geoffrey decides she needs to be taught some lessons to be more than a spoiled society miss. He has his long term meek fiancee, Melanie, teach "Amy" how to be a country gentlewoman. Sara submits because she likes Melanie. Melanie teaches "Amy" how to sew tears in clothing -- Sara sews the arm of one of Geoffrey's shirts to the side of the shirt and hems up his pants so one leg is very much shorter than the other. And she embroiders flowers on all of his handkerchiefs. Sara argues daily with Geoffrey because she tells him he is ungallant and he because she does not obey him as a woman should. The adventures and mishaps between Sara and Geoffrey are funny. However, during one argument Geoffrey kisses Sara and the kiss turns passionate. Geoffrey has never found himself so attracted to a women and Sara who has been kissed frequently has found a man who makes her melt. However they each deny the attraction between them. Sara does because he is engaged to Melanie, who she likes. Geoffrey does because he is engaged and he finds Sara infuriating. Time and time again, Geoffrey cannot help kissing Sara. When Geoffrey takes Sara to buy some dresses from the small town seamstress, she teaches both the seamstress and the local wifes all the latest fashions and how to dress move comely. When the local Squire's wife has a country ball, somehow, due to Sara, a brawl enrupts involving both the men and women. One day out in Geoffrey's hay fields, passing riders recognize Sara. She pretends to be a yokel look-alike for Lady Sara. She also learns that Ravenwich is still alive and now must decide how to save herself in case Ravenwich discovers where she is hiding.

He does and that is all I am going to tell you -- I want your interest to be peaked but I don't want to give away the rest of the plot. This novel is longer than most regencies (just over 300 pages) but it never is dull!

This is one of Cindy Holbrook's best books. The plot and the characters were so entertaining. Everyone who likes romance should read this book and any of the other books by Cindy Holbrook.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Country Gentleman. The characters and the story line were a lot of fun. I can recommend this book to anyone.

I have enjoyed reading Cindy Holbrook's work for a number of years. This one is right up there with Lord Sayer's Ghost - funny, fast-paced, and well-written! As a Regency writer myself, I can heartily recommend THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN! Donna Bell

This book has a great Old West feel without the stereotypes. That's a refreshing change! I particularly enjoyed the use of real historical personages rubbing elbows with our hero and heroine. They add a reality to the book but don't overpower the story. Great read!

The suspense holds you to every word

Fast-paced novel. Interesting character developments. Kept me wanting more!

This story is highly entertaining with well drawn characters. It held my interest throughout. I can see it as a made for TV movie that would be enjoyed by a broad range of viewers.

I've loved Westerns for decades, but neither the TV shows nor the classics like SHANE and LONESOME DOVE ever seemed to have enough romance OR powerful women. Lucky for me, there are books like Anna Gerard's DESERT HEARTS.

Gerard's book has everything I want in a Western, from connections to Dodge City and Tombstone to dry snippets of Western wisdom; from rough bank-robbers to brave lawmen--but like the best of women's fiction, DESERT HEARTS goes deeper into the characters and relationships than that. The bad-guy and the Pinkerton tracking him are brothers; this is no mere manhunt. And of course, the Pinkerton agent and the bank manager on this manhunt soon develop a more intimate "friendship" than you'd see between Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, because in Brimstone, the bank manager's a woman!

This is my favorite part of DESERT HEARTS--instead of being an anachronistically liberated 1990s woman in a historical setting, the heroine Jessamine is more a liberated woman of the 80's--the 1880's. She got her job the way so many Old West women really did; she inherited it when her husband died. She can make it in a man's world, but not by sacrificing her femininity. In fact, her friendship with two other strong women is one more way relationships in DESERT HEARTS take the joys of a Western and move them into the realm of woman's fiction.

I also appreciated the cultural diversity added by Lily, a Chinese friend of Jessamine's. It's nice to be reminded that the Old West was settled by more than white folks going after Indians!

All in all, an EXCELLENT read for lovers of romance and Westerns!

I WAS 15 YEARS OLD WHEN I READ THIS BOOK. I LOVED EVERYTHING ESPECIALLY THE CHARACTERS. THIS BOOK MADE ME WANT TO READ. I AM NOW 22 YEARS OLD AND I HAVEN'T STOP READING. THANKS MRS. DRYMON. THANKS FELICIA WRIGHT

I have not yet read this book,but I know it will be just as good as Velvet Savage!!!I have finally found this book after searching high and low.I read Velvet Savage first.Then was lucky enough to get another called Gentle Savage which I realized was a sequal to Velvet.Since then I've been looking for the first book of the obvious trilogy and now I've found it!!! FINALLY

Here is an author who knows how to write. Destiny's Splendor is the most romantic book ever to read. With every word, the love between Jessica and Star Hawk blossoms to exciting heights. You find yourself catching you breath as you witness all that Star Hawk goes through for his true love. There is much action, adventure, and romance on these pages. Destiny's Splendor is a "must read" for all romance lovers... Just don't start it too late at night, or you'll get no sleep until you finish

This is the first Historical Romance novel I have ever read. It was great, the relationship between Star Hawk and his Silver Star(Jessica Colton) is Awesome. Although Star Hawk kidnaps her Jessica falls in love with her dark captor and marries him, but their live together in bliss doesn't last long, when Jessica's cousin decides to have her kidnapped so he can get her married off to a man of his choosing that he can control. Star Hawk vows that he and his Silver Star will be together forever and starts off for England to reclaim his BRIDE. This book is definately a keeper. It took me forever to find it, but once I got it I don't want to loose it

I finished this story and right at the end I realized that it is the prequel to "Velvet Savage!" I LOVED "Velvet Savage". And now that I have read "Destiny's Splendor", I wish I had known before that the two are relative. Both are EXCELLENT! I would have loved to follow the story of the first couple and then go on to the story of their children. I met them in reverse, but I still loved both stories.
In "Destiny's Slendor", you get to follow a true Kathleen Drymon classic love story across the Blackfoot valley, all the way to London. The hero is brave, strong, and spiritual. The story is exciting and very romantic. You'll feel attached to the couple by the end of the story. You'll love to move on and see what happens in their future when you read "Velvet Savage."
Now Drymon, we want a third! What happens next????

Another winner and wonderful read for Hunter Morgan. "Don't Turn Around" is a superb story that will keep you turning page after page. I would recommend this to anyone who likes drama and suspense. A+

I've read all of Hunter Morgan's books and I've loved everyone of them. This is the lastest book and it was great! I love mystery books and this book was as good as all the others.

I recommend this writer and books to anyone who loves murder/mystery books.

I have now read everything Hunter Morgan has written and with the exception of one have enjoyed them all. This was great and intense,
funny, I loved Casey's Dad Ed and the others...just read it...it's great!

Hunter Morgan never fails to bring realistic romance and chilling suspense to a small town setting. I read this book in one sitting and loved it. Casey is a tough but vulnerable heroine, and I loved the relationship between her and a much-loved but failing father. This is a great vacation read, whether the reader escapes to the beach or just to a bubble bath. Great book! Worth every penny.

In Delaware in the middle of the night Linda Truman calls the Sussex County Hospital Victim Advocate Casey McDaniel pleading with her to help her as her former boyfriend Charlie Gaitlin is trying to break into her home. Casey calls the cops and rushes over to the terrorized woman's house, but is too late; Linda is dead. The victim advocate gives sworn testimony that Linda named Charlie as her attacker on the phone and two weeks earlier, which led to her hospitalization. Charlie is locked up for four months as he could not make bail. At the hearing, however, ADA Adam Preston III informs a stunned Casey that Charlie is free on a nolle prosequi plea by the DA Office as the DNA evidence was not back and they were unprepared. Afterward Charlie warns Casey to keep looking over her shoulder.

At the hospital, Casey meets attorney Lincoln Tyndale over chili and crackers. They get on well together and she decides she would not mind seeing him again. Preston also wants to date her. However, apparently Charlie is acting out his threat to Casey as she receives nasty phone calls, letters, and emails that include threatening to kill her dad, and a widow suffering from Alzheimer's. She was a victim once before and vowed never again, but this insidious campaign is frightening her as her dad is being used as a potential pawn to get at her.

This exciting romantic suspense thriller grips readers from the moment Charlie threatens Casey in the isolated parking lot by the court building in spite of doubts that such a locale during business hours would have no people moving about. The fast-paced story line contrasts the heroine's attraction to Lincoln and Preston vs. the terror campaign. With a superb late twist that will stun readers though the clues are there, fans will appreciate this taut tale while looking back over their shoulders.

Greetings from Singapore, it is where I am right now. I loved it!!! It was very touching and I cried on those "goodbye's scenes" the characters are all so real and I felt that I was part of it too. It was a beautiful ending for Abigail, I loved that woman so much courage and life in her. The reunion of two brothers, Wolf Blood and Jeremy touches my soul. I felt victory for Zeke and Georganne when they discovered the gold pot. Hawk made use of his knownledge and fought it out in the legal way was very satisfying to me. I love the ending saga of "Savage Destiny."

I Don't often cry when I read a book, but from the the first book to the last I cried each time. I have read the series twice now, and getting ready to read it again. So I'd Better get the tissues ready.

Rosanne Bittner is the best author I've ever read, althoughthis book continues the story of Abbie and her heart break over losing Zeke,I feel Rosanne could have shortened the time poor Abbie had to wait to reunite with Zeke. But NO-ONE could do better. Grab your tissues, you"ll need them. All through this book I really missed Zeke. He became like part of my family, they all did. I've collected the entire series. I think you will to.

this was the best set of books i have ever read. when abby lost zeke in death i could almost feel her pain, after i read all seven books i felt like i had known them personaly and i hated to see their story end

This was another of those tear jerkers I have ever read.It really made me cry when Lone Eagle(Zeke)died in this book.I even felt the pain that Abbey felt and cried with her especially when she went to where he was buried.I could hardly stand it with the tears I couldn't see the page.It's another book I won't soon forget.But it also gave Abbey strength to carry on with her family.

I HAVE READ THIS BOOK AT LEAST 15 TIMES SINCE IT WAS 1ST PUBLISHED.I GARUNTEE I'LL READ IT 15 MORE. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STORY I HAVE EVER READ, THIS BOOK DEFINATLEY GAVE ME HOPE THAT LOVE AND ROMANCE WILL NEVER DIE. I LOVE ABBIE AND ZEKE!!!!!!!! MARION, OHIO.

I'm having a heck of a time getting my hands on this book. I'm unable to finish the series until I get #4, I'll just wait. Rosanne Bittner is one of the best authors of Indian Historicals that I've ever read.You'll fall in love with Abbey & Zeke, and you will never want to put the book down.

Embrace the Wild Land continues on the story of Abbie and Zeke. This story is another great one in the Savage Destiny series. The love betweeen Zeke and his Abbie-girl survives even though he is forced to go across the country to find his brother. I have never read a series as good as this one where every book is better than the last and I actually feel like I know the characters. When I put down the book I expect to walk out the door and see Abbie standing there with a gentle smile on her face as she watches her Zeke. I read the series for the first time last year and I have been readying myself to read it again. This time I've ordered the entire set because I just can't wait for the library to have them all at the same time, because I know once I start I won't finish until I've completed their story. Read Embrace the Wild Wind and read the whole series it is wonderful, fantastic, romantic, excellent! What else can I say? Mrs. Bittner has done her best.

Jamie Ian MacCalister orphaned as a boy is captured by the Indians and along with him was a young girl. Together they plan an escape. Whenever they have a chance they bring into their tee pee dried foods and other necessities. They make their get away and, all of this time he and Kate the name of the girl, run into danger, which keeps the story exciting and fast. Jamie grows into a man. They find themselves a home in Texas. And of course Jamie becomes envolved in the battles of Texas. A top notch read and plenty of real events in history.

I am an Alamo fanatic, and I make no excuses fof it. Mr Johnstone's story of a young man raised by Indians who becomes one of the Alamo defenders is one of my favorites, and when I saw it offered on tape, there was no hesitation in ordering a copy. My only disapointmentment is in the editing(of course, that's what "abridged" means, isn't it?), and I would love to see a full length version on tape someday. Until then, this is an excellent adventure story that can be enjoyed by anyone not offended by the obvious violence associated with the legendary struggle for Texas independance. REMEMBER THE ALAMO!

I have read a few other books about The Alamo and thought that I could not find something new. How surprised I was to find so MUCH, which was new to me. As a fan of Mr.Johnstone's ASHES series I tried EAGLES and was not a second disappointed. It's a good story plot and very special, as far as Jamie MacCallister's thinking and behaviour is concerned. The first book in this series is an appetizer for more of this stuff. A classic western family saga with new elements which makes the whole thing so much fascinating. Congratulations, Mr.Johnstone!

JOHNSTONE'S TALE OF A YOUNG BOY RAISED BY INDIANS WHO BECOMES A LEGEND IN THE WEST AND A SURVIVOR OF THE ALAMO. A GREAT ADVENTURE TALE AND THE WAY THE BATTLE OF THE ALAMO SHOULD BE REMEMBERED, DESPITE WHAT A CAREFUL STUDY OF HISTORY TELLS US IS THE REAL TRUTH. WELL, FOLKS, I HAPPEN TO PREFER MR JOHNSTONE'S VERSION TO A LOT OF OTHERS CIRCULATING AROUND. HIS DAVY CROCKETT DIES WITH HIS BOOTS ON, FIGHTING THE ENEMY, AND JIM BOWIE TAKES MORE THAN A FEW WITH HIM, TOO. THESE MEN ARE HEROES, AND THEY DIE AS HEROES, AND EACH ONE DESERVES THE HONOR AS SUCH. I KNOW BOWIE WAS A SLAVE TRADER AND A CON MAN, AND DAVY CROCKETT PROBABLY DID SURRENDER, BUT THIS IS A STORY OF LEGENDS. READ YOUR HISTORT BOOKS FOR THE REAL STORY. READ THIS FOR THE PRIDE IN OUR ANCESTORS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE. AND READ IT FOR FUN.

This book is jammed full of history. It puts the main guy Jamie at the heart of Americas most revered and most awed battle ever done. To you skeptics who think it is a bunch of lies I beg to differ Most of the things mentioned in the book is true and besides even if it wasnt true you can never get too much of the Alamo and those who fought and died there. This book has you right in the middle of the defenders plight and yet there is alot more in here then just the 13 days of glory. To find out I ask you to buy it and read it and be apart of the battle.
