Negative Positive
Title: 3.5 stars- -good characters and atmosphere; stilted dialogue.
Review: The first 100 pages of the book had me worried. The prose is not always engaging, and the dialogue can be excruciatingly repetitive: "Come." "No." "Come on." "I won't." "Come with me." "I refuse." ....AAARGH! I suppose that the characters' stubbornness is meant to be charming, but I just found that it made the story drag.Fortunately, the book is saved by its charming hero. I had gotten so used to misogynistic alpha male heroes that I forgot that there was any other kind! White Eagle is so sweet and loving and loyal that you can't help but sigh. The fact that the romance between hero and heroine started in their childhood made it feel all the more genuine.The setting of the story is also rich with Blackfoot culture. If you're looking for a story in a Native American/frontier setting and you like your heroes sweet and romantic, then this is for you.
