Ride the Free Wind - Rosanne Bittner
Savage Destiny book 2
Really, you MUST get all 7 books in the Savage Destiny series and fall in love with Zeke and his Abbie!!! My heart felt every emotion possible with these two - I cried, laughed, stressed, rejoiced, cheered, worried along with them. When a book/series can do that, you *know* they're the best! If I could only keep one set of fiction books, this would be it, hands down, no hesitation!
While I always enjoy reading how a couple gets together, I *love love LOVE* the romance and story that follows the HEA/wedding. I think that's another reason why I so enjoy this series - it didn't just stop at the wedding - we get to experience all their joys and struggles through their married life - but yet how much stronger their love grows over time.
Another thing I love about this series is the American history Rosanne Bittner gently teaches us. I've always loved history, but hated reading the dry text-book type things. However, RB makes learning history enjoyable because we can experience it through Zeke and Abbie's eyes. I learned so much about the American Indian/Cheyenne culture and my heart broke to really realize how much prejudice people have for one another - and how quickly that can affect lives.
These first few years of Zeke and Abbie's lives was a mix of such joy and hardship - but they proved together how much they need each other!
