Savage Destiny book 7
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.
I was relieved to finally get to this book. My heart had been so involved with the Monroes that I was glad to have a final conclusion to their story. I loved that the final chapter in their saga ended years beyond the wedding and we got to see a glimpse into their family's future through the grandkid's lives. I was saddened with all the struggles and tragedies that still were prevalent in this family, but yet the strength of their love-bond proved unbreakable. I loved that there was several new happily-ever-afters for many. I just wish that it didn't take so long for Abbie to be reunited with Zeke at the end, but hey, I've noticed that RB tends to do that to my fav characters - make 'em wait for what they really want! :)
I finished reading this series this last spring and am looking forward to starting to read through this series again and again! Although, with as much as my heart tends to be involved with Zeke and his Abbie, I'll need to take extended breaks between visits.

I'm not going to lie. I had to travel the weekend I finally got to this 6th book and I knew that there was going to be a huge good-bye in it that was going to make me cry. I figured I probably should pay attention to the people around me and not have my nose stuck in a book, but that's what I did... I found a couch, planted myself on there and read all day... and hid my face as best as I could when the sobs came. OYE! I had to laugh because I don't think I've ever been as attached to a set of fictional characters as Zeke and Abbie and here I was literally sobbing over them!!! Thankfully I was surrounded by people who while they did tease me about my tears, let me be to work through my emotions and finish the book.
Huge props to Rosanne Bittner for writing this story. I can totally understand her comments she put on her website how she was so emotionally involved with the Monroes that after finishing this book she needed to step back. I knew after finishing this series I'd have to do the same thing!

While there were parts of this story I loved, this was one of my least favorite parts of Zeke and Abbie's story. More often than not I was wanting to reach through the pages of the book and knock Zeke around! GRRR! I mean, I get what he was thinking, but UGH! Did he *have* to be that stubborn about things??? Although the last chapter of the book won me back over before I just wanted to chuck it across the room! And all the problems with the kids - oye! My heart cried for all of them - I mean really, going through all that in that short amount of time would definitely break a person and their relationships.

This 4th book was a bit harder for me to read - not because of the writing itself, but I was starting to have a feeling of what may just happen to Abbie that Zeke wouldn't be around to save her.... While I desperately wanted to know what happened and how Zeke and Abbie worked through it, I wasn't wanting to get close enough to find out! My heart by this time in the series was very much involved and I didn't want to go through what Abbie was going to struggle through... but I did, and Zeke's over-flowing love for Abbie couldn't have been more needed or perfect!

This 3rd book is one of my favs in the series - once I started reading it, it was a struggle to put it down and sleep/work/eat... :) How Zeke and Abbie deal with one of the most challenging struggles married couples could ever face both broke my heart but proved that really, love and forgiveness and understanding and acceptance all are of part of making a real-life (fiction - ha!) marriage work.

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!

The instant spark between Zeke and Abbie and how these two grew to love each other so that Zeke could no longer walk away from her stole my heart!
