cheyenne captive 1987 gentry kursar

Historical Romance Review: Cheyenne Captive by Georgina Gentry

Posted on October 30, 2023January 9, 2024 by Blue Falcon

Cheyenne Captive by Georgina Gentry is the first book in her very long-running Panorama of the Old West series. It’s a strong romance with a well-researched portrayal of the Cheyenne tribe. 5 Stars

Prairie Embrace rosanne bitter duillo

Historical Romance Review: Prairie Embrace By Rosanne Bittner

Posted on September 11, 2023January 23, 2024 by Blue Falcon

Prairie Embrace by Rosanne Bittner is a Western and Native American Zebra historical romance involving abuse, love, and resilience. 4 stars

tender ecstasy walter popp

Historical Romance Review: Tender Ecstasy by Janelle Taylor

Posted on April 10, 2023November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

Tender Ecstasy, the fifth book in Janelle Taylor’s Ecstasy series published by Zebra, is not as fun as its predecessor, but still a worthy entry in the series. 4 stars

Historical Romance Review: Brazen Ecstasy by Janelle Taylor

Posted on February 6, 2023January 9, 2024 by Blue Falcon

Brazen Ecstasy is the best of Janelle Taylor’s first four books in the “Ecstasy/Gray Eagle” series so far; not flawless, but very, very good. 5 Stars

climb the highest mountain

Historical Romance Review: Climb the Highest Mountain by Rosanne Bittner

Posted on January 30, 2023January 9, 2024 by Blue Falcon

Frequent readers of Rosanne Bittner’s books know what they’re getting from her work. It’s all here in Climb the Highest Mountain (Savage Destiny Series Book #5): exceptional emotionalism, and rawness. 5 Stars

embrace the wild land sabin

Historical Romance Review: Embrace the Wild Land by Rosanne Bittner

Posted on December 19, 2022November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is of Embrace the Wild Land, book #4 in the “Savage Destiny” series by Rosanne Bittner. It’s not my favorite book by Ms. Bitter, but it’s still darn good.

forbidden ecstasy popp

Historical Romance Review: Forbidden Ecstasy by Janelle Taylor

Posted on November 14, 2022November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is of Forbidden Ecstasy (“Ecstasy/Gray Eagle Series #3″) by Janelle Taylor. The “Stockholm Syndrome romance” between Gray Eagle and Alisha keeps me from giving Janelle Taylor’s Forbidden Ecstasy a five-star rating. 4 Stars

defiant ecstasy janelle taylor

Historical Romance Review: Defiant Ecstasy by Janelle Taylor

Posted on August 22, 2022November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is of Defiant Ecstasy Book #2 in the “Ecstasy/Gray Eagle” series by Janelle Taylor. Defiant Ecstasy begins by filling in details of what occurred at the end of the first book, Savage Ecstasy. 4 Stars

ride the free wind

Historical Romance Review: Ride the Free Wind by Rosanne Bittner

Posted on July 11, 2022November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is of Ride the Free Wind book #2 in the “Savage Destiny” series by Rosanne Bittner. Ride the Free Wind begins shortly after the first book, Sweet Prairie Passion, ended. Abigail “Abbie” Trent Monroe and her husband, “Cheyenne” Zeke Monroe, are traveling to find Zeke’s Cheyenne mother and three Cheyenne half-brothers. 5 Stars

tender savage phoebe conn

This review is of Tender Savage, a standalone Zebra Lovegram by Phoebe Conn. Tender Savage starts in Wilmington, Delaware, in June 1862. The book spans from June 1862 to September 1863 during the American Civil War. 3 stars
