Summary: Would seem to be geared towards a younger audience
Comment: Setting - Wyoming Territory, 1868 --- With apprehension but also excitement, Maggie Tolan and her mother set out from Boston to join her Uncle Patrick on a trek across the west to Oregon. Along the way, Maggie lost her mother, so now her only living relative was Uncle Patrick, leader of the wagon train. At the encampment one night there were two visits, one from a local rancher, Archy Parrish, who gave warnings of Indian raiders that would steal white women never to be seen again. The second set of visitors included a very handsome Indian warrior, Wind Walker, who offered genuine friendship and warnings of renegades who had little scruples and less moral values. Both Maggie and Wind Walker would notice one another and both would mark it as a meaningful moment.
It would be later, in the dead of night, that Maggie would be forcefully abducted by the unscrupulous rancher Archy where he would hold her prisoner on his ranch to be both mother to his young sons and act as virtual slave to cook for his thirty cowhands. Uncle Patrick would conduct a search, swearing he wouldn't leave without her and enlisting the aid of Wind Walker after being turned down for any assistance from the unscrupulous rancher Archy. Naturally, Wind Walker, rescues Maggie and as they soon declare their undying love for one another, they set out to teach Archy a lesson he richly deserved.
I had seen many titles under this authors name and expected a really good American West historical romance, and while the story was good, it seemed to me that the dialogs were somewhat 'off' for the period and especially for the main character Wind Walker. Had it not been for the brief culmination of the two protagonists making love, I could even suggest this as a very good 'young adult' romance. As it stands though, I really do feel that this romance is more suited towards a younger audience as the ' sexual act' was not as graphic as some and on the mild side. I guess that what I really could not get past was the precise way Wind Walker was speaking unless he'd had a quality English education, which was not indicated in any background of his upbringing. It was a very quick read with not a lot of background and that was quickly glossed over with very little descriptive prose. Not a bad read, but not something that I think a voracious historical romance reader could sink their teeth into. --- Marilyn Rondeau (...)

Summary: entertaining Indian romance
Comment: In 1868, Margaret Ann Toland and her Uncle Patrick persuade her widowed mother to leave Boston to start a new life in the Oregon Territory. However, the trek west is harsh and along the way many die including Maggie's beloved mom. Feeling guilty that her mother is dead while she lives, Maggie has lost her desire for the Pacific though she goes through the motions of doing the right thing amongst the other wagon train travelers.
At a stop in the Wyoming Territory, local rancher Archibald Parrish drops by and decides he wants Maggie. Also visiting is Cheyenne warrior Wind Walker who feels Maggie is his soul mate. When Maggie ignores Archy, but shows favoritism towards the Indian, the amoral rancher abducts the red haired witch. Now Wind Walker must enter the encampment of his enemy to rescue the woman he loves or die trying.
As usual Cassie Edwards provides an entertaining Indian romance starring two courageous noble lead characters and an odious white male. The story line is action-packed and filled with a strong secondary cast. WIND WALKER is typical of Ms. Edwards' bunker of novels that have well written, but interchangeable key characters whether they are a gallant male Indian, an intrepid all alone white female or an ignoramus like Archy. Each seems capable of moving back and forth between this author's books.
