Sensitive Contemporary View of Native American Culture

From the moment the author introduced Tara Bartlett, I felt I knew this character. Following Tara in her search for her biological parents, the perils of her job as a game specialist, and her travels, was exciting and interesting. When Whitman Bull Chief enters her life, sparks fly! I loved everything about this book: the characters, the setting, the events. I also really liked the message in the book: respect and understanding of other cultures. This heroine is an excellent role model for all young women, and especially for Native American women. Great job, author!

Different...exciting...romantic!

This is a modern (contemporary) love story of an Indian woman and the man who wants to share her life. It introduces the reader to Indian customs and traditions and does so with dignity and interest. I was fascinated - I hated to have the story end!

Sensitive, beautiful love story

Terra Bartlett's journey to find her biological parents, and her journey to find herself before she can commit to the love of her life, is told with sensitivity and charm. The author either lived the Crow Indian culture or researched carefully. Whichever it is, I appreciated learning more about this group of Native Americans. Their culture, and their home in Montana, sounds wonderful!

This novel introduces us to a fascinating career

Terra Bartlet works for the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and is a Native American woman. The description of elk collaring, deer tracking and Terra's other duties fascinated me. The romance with Whitman Bull Chief is almost secondary to the story, but contains the warmth and wholesome sensuality of Ms. Olsen's first novel, Big Sky Dreams. This was another excellent offering from this author.

Ethnic romance at its best

Adopted as a child by white parents, Crow Indian Terra Bartlett is raised in a white world. When she meets the man of her dreams, however, he is a Crow Indian. With sensuous description and smoldering chemistry, they fall in love. But until Terra can trace her "roots" to the reservation, she cannot commit to Whitman Bull Chief. I cried when she went back to the reservation and met---but that would be telling! I LOVED this book!!
