NOTE TO If you love the work of Anna Hackett and Eve Langlais you will love this. A historical fiction fantasy Novel.
A Native American Indian & American East young woman romance set in the 1890's. Filled with hot sex, strong dominant men and a sexy kick-ass female who knows how to hold her own. It’s gritty, confrontational and steam will be coming out of your ears. If you’re looking for something to get those juices flowing, you just found it. Enjoy!
Mainly in British English, with Americanisms and slang from both languages.
Another in the Fictional Victorian era Series, Western Romantics. Hot passions and two very different lives entwine with explosive results!
Convention be damned! Loyalties tested. And love, just might save them all.

The harsh wilderness. A tribe on the brink. A warrior who knows the American ways and loyal to his people who stands between both to keep the peace. He'd seen what happens when that peace fails. His tribe lost everything. It split them, divided them, they warred amongst themselves, wanting what was no longer. They were not the great people of the plains. Fracturing the peace and the little they still held would finish them.. He knew this in his heart, his soul.
He'd done what he had to and worked with the Americans. Scouted for them. He knew them well. They too fought amongst themselves. Leaders not always in agreement. Their men not always listening, some going their own way. Towns people, who did what they wanted and plenty of incidents where war could start again. And one thing was clear, this wasn't a war his people needed or could win.
As he kept his own counsel, that fact never left his mind.
The woman in the carriage pulling into the outpost drew his attention. She didn't belong there. And knows her when he sees her. A woman who comes from back East. Alone. Looking for what? Naive or stupid he didn't know. But she shouldn't be here. This wasn't the world for her....
She'd be a target for many. This world was cruel, many had no honor. If she made it to the end of her journey in one piece or survived it was most unlikely. Gazing at her through the carriage window from his post, her skin looked nothing like his women, or the women here that had a hard life. And watched as the driver helped her down to freshen up as all eyes turned to her. Both native and American.
Yes. This woman was going to be trouble....
****
Carrying dishonor that is not her own. The victim of fraud, duplicity and betrayal that makes her a pariah in her world. She is lost to any good match now. A man promised to her has ruined her reputation. Yes. It is better to know before the marriage, however to those that know her it makes no difference. She is ostracised, cast out, her so-called friends turning their backs on her for fear of her dishonor tarnishing their own and she takes the extraordinary step of removing herself from the only society she has ever known and turns to chance.
How bad could it be? She'd tried convention, had tried to honor the wishes of her family. Taken the choice they'd made for her and what? It had left her with nothing and no options. Their own shame turning to denial.
Refusing to be left in the background of her own life. They had all been at fault, found her match, pushed her to take him, loured by the tails of his wealth but it was all a lie and she was the one to be punished. Her life over.
No. She would not allow that.
Convention Be Damned! (Western Romantics #4) Reviews

2.5⭐️ too brief, too fast.
I enjoyed the story, liked the characters very much for the most part..
But there just wasn’t enough to distinguish anyone other than the two mains, and even they could have benefited with Moore fleshing out.
Even considering it was intended as more as a long novella, it was just too shallow.
In essence a story line, a plot with a beginning and end, and not much surrounding.
Could have been soooo good.
I still enjoy this author, and am content to keep reading, just have to rely on my own imagination to fill in the gaps, and correct those details that are so romantically wrong. 🤭🫣🤓 -
Loved this book. Always enjoy reading love stories in which the main characters cross cultural boundaries and put their love above the condemnation of societies expectations.
