1: Don't Bother
This book was terrible. It was soooo bad that I couldn't even finish it, even tho I read 3/4 of the book! The dialogue was so ridiculous, that it was predictable. I was very disappointed.

2: Cassie is a better writer!
I'm sorry - I usually enjoy Cassie Edwards' books. But this one was so childish that I had to laugh in some spots. It's as though she wrote this one in a few days to get it out. Sorry - but I don't recommend it to anyone!

3: for Cassie Edwards' fans
Indians killed all the other family members of Annamae Jacobson; she is fortunate to have survived the attack though the youngster is confused by the tragedy. Traveling carnival show owners Howard and Ellie Baker "adopt" her to use her to perform duties. However, as she has gotten older Annamae begins to understand her role is that of a con artist; she detests her phony interpretations that give people false hope.
When Howard captures Gray Stone and plans to use the lad as a sideshow freak, Annamae decides she has had enough. She helps the Indian escape and he takes her to his uncle Chief Cougar of the Blackfoot tribe. He initially holds the white woman, whom he is attracted to, culpable, but his nephew clears the air. As the Chief and the outsider fall in love, her real skills to tell the future through visions make her a tribal asset.
A Cassie Edwards' Savage tale is always well written and fun to read though each historical comes out of the Big Mac mold of knowing that wherever you are you know what you got before that first bite. Annamae is a solid protagonist who has doubts about what she is doing that is not enough to run away as she has no place to go; however when Howard plans to use and abuse Gray Stone, that motivates her into becoming a heroine. Ms. Edward's fans will appreciate the historical romance between the Indian chief and the White shaman.

4: Decent
Annamae's life has been the carnival since her family was slaughtered by Indians. Though she hates her work as a charlatan dream interpreter, she endures it with no hope of escape until her guardian brings in an Indian child he captured with the intent of displaying him a wild thing. Annamae is more than willing to take what risks she must to rescue the child and escape. They run into the boy's uncle's search party who takes them back to the camp. Once Cougar is convinced that Annamae is not responsible for his nephew's plight, he realizes that he is falling in love with her, for she resembles his lost love. Annamae by far prefers the honest life in the Indian camp to the fakeness of the carny world and the odious man who wanted her for his own. However, her guardians and her unwanted suitor might not give her up so easily.
*** If you are a fan of Indian romances, then this has all the trademarks of one and you will enjoy it. Though Annamae's easy adaption to the life in the wilderness stretches credulity, the story is written well enough to satisfy fans. ***
