a wonderfuly good read
I loved this book. I like Iron Wing and Katy. Such wonderful characters. I didn't like Iron Wing at first but as the book progressed I found his unwavering loyality to Katy a remarkable thing. Katy was a somewhat spoiled girl that found true love with the proud but kind hearted(after a time)Iron Wing. I did have a problem with Iron Wing whipping Katy in the begining of the book but after that the book was truly wonderful.(though if some one whipped me i would hate them not fall in love with them.)

Very good
Love in the Wind was the very first romance novel that I ever read and it remains my favorite even now, years later! I found it very well written, and very emotionally provoking. Love in the Wind is an old western historical romance. Katy is the woman at the center of the story. She was once an heiress to her parents' farm, but decided to become a nun when her fiance was killed by Indians. On her way to the convent, her coach is attacked by rebel Indians and she is the only one left alive, only to be found by a group of Cheyenne. She is taken back to their tribe and is given as a gift to their greatest warrior, Iron Wing, and thus the romance begins. It's true that Katy surely should have learned to hate Iron Wing as she many times proclaimed, but love never knows what it is SHOULD do anyway. Against all odds the two fall in love, and then must fight beyond what they had ever imagined to stay together. Love and romance, humor and fun, horrifying and tear jerking, this book has everything. It is a truly good read.

A BOOK TO LOVE AND HATE
It was hard to understand how Katy fell in love with Iron Wing. After all she was "given to him" by his friend whom found her hiding in the carriage that was attacked by another tribe. His punishments to her when she tried to escape or free prisoners would make anyone learn to hate him. However, once they found their feelings for each other (or should I say Katy realized her own feelings toward Iron Wing since he already claimed her), they ended up with constant struggles to stay together. At times Katy seemed spoiled and selfish, escpecially when she returned home and you wanted to shake her for this thoughtlessness really hard. But I was surprised when she changed her tune in favor of Iron Wing. I consider any book that can get you to react to it emotionally, whether it is good or bad emotions, is well written, I did finish this book in only 1 1/2 days.

One of the few romance novels I enjoyed
Normally I hate romance novels and consider them trashy, but this one was a glowing exception. It had as much action and history in it as it did romance. The romance when it was going on was a romance of love, not just lust. The commitment between Brianna and Shunkaha was palpable and real. Though they were from different worlds, their love overcame all the trials and hardships life could throw at them.
This is definitely one of the very few romance novels I'd ever recommend because of the history in it such as the Battle of Wounded Knee and the massacre of the Lakota.

A truly great book.
I love all Madeline Baker books and one is no exception. Shukaha Luta and Brianna have a wonderful friendship from the start. Though Shukaha is 30 years old and Brianna or Ishna Wi as he calls her(which means Sun Woman) is 17 Shukaha soon realizes that she is all woman. After Brianna rescues Shukaha from a chain gang Shukaha rescues Brianna from her abusive aunt and uncle. Shukaha takes her to his people where after many trials they eventually come back to Brainna's Aunt and Uncles house to find the uncle has died and left everything to Brianna. The two have many things in store for them before they get their ever after. I definatly recomend this book to anyone who wants a romantic adventure.

Simply perfect
This was my first Madeline Baker book, and it got me hooked. The love story between Shukaha Luta and Brianna was one of the sweetest and most romantic I've read in a long time, and really has stood up to be the best after countless other romances I've read. Brianna is an innocent 17 years old girl when she meets her Indian brave, who is a grown man of 30. But, he is imprisoned, and Brianna soon risks everything to free him. They fall in love almost from first sight, but it takes a few chapters for Shunkaha to look past her young age and realize she could be all women for him! After he makes the decision, he commits to her totally. Even after separations they remain true to each other, even after he is feared dead. They always reunite happily. Even after Shunkaha realizes the Lakota can no longer live as they once did and he has to adapt, they remain devoted. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves romance and needs to believe that love does conquer all barriers. Cyndi

Passion!
This was the first romance novel that I ever read. It was way back in 7th grade and at that age I probably shouldn't have been reading these kinds of books. But I fell in love with this writer and this story. I felt like I was there with the characters as an eye witness. It will be hard for me to give away the story since it has been a long long time since I read it last, but I do remember that it was a wonderful book. If telling you that this book helped start me out on reading Indian romance novels than that should be good enough for anyone.

Madeline Baker does it again
"The Spirit Path" is a Historical Romance-meets-the-Present time travel. Madeline Baker weaves this story beautifully! It's about Shadow Hawk, a young Lakota spiritual leader of his People who goes on a vision quest that opens a portal and takes him on a time travel to meet Maggie, the beautiful woman in his dreams. Despite any odds, Shadow Hawk and Maggie discover a shared destiny and will conquer time itself to be together.

One of my all time favorites
This was the first time travel romance I had ever read. After reading SPIRIT PATH, I was hooked. I love the western/native american influenced romances, and when a person from the here and now gets a chance to go back and be a part of history, well isn't that a fantasy we all have at one time or another? Ms. Baker writes a wonderful absorbing tale. I read her books any chance I get. Even when she's writing under Amanda Ashley and telling vampire stories (which are also wonderful!) SPIRIT PATH is for any one who has ever dreamed of another place and time. Madeline Baker pays Native America a respectful and beautiful homage and enlightens us to problems still faced today. Cowboys and Indians, supernatural, present day. It's all here.

This is classic Madeline Baker. Easily read, sweet moments, though no real "fire" between the couple's and a predictable plot. Overall it's a just a "nice" read.

Couldn't Even Finish It.
I must have read a different book than what everyone else did who rated this book on this site because I found this book to be horrible. It was boring and tedious at best. There was just wasn't any character development. Girl needs a guy. Girl Finds a Feather. Girl Wishes on a Feather. Girl Transported Back in Time. Girl Meets Native American Indian who by the way had a life changing vision about her. They fall in love. Hello! Could you give us something else. Granted, this is a time travel romance but it was just not a believable novel. It was like pulling teeth for me. I didn't even finish it.

Thank You Madeline Baker
I'm not really into time travel romances. I've only read one other one that I liked and that was Son of the Morning by Linda Howard. So my expectations were not that high that this one was going to be good, but I was WRONG!! I read it in one afternoon and I haven't did that in years. Feather in the Wind is not your typical Indian warrior, white woman story. Read this book you will not be disappointed!!

When the law refuses to hunt down the men who slaughtered his family, John Walking Hawk takes the law into his own hands. Wounded and with a price on his head, he's on the run, wanted for exacting the justice that had been denied him. Now, because of a twist of fate, Hallie finds herself falling in love with a man she never should have met, and making the hardest decision of her life. Turning her back on the convent, Hallie follows her heart, trading the peace and serenity of the convent for a different and far more dangerous life, risking security and freedom to become Hawk's woman.

Hawk's Woman
Orphaned at a young age, Hallie McIntyre was raised by a group of nuns in a convent where she'd planned to eventually take her own vows of celibacy. Hallie never imagined how her world would change when she came across a wounded man in dire need of her help. Assisting John Walking Hawk while he recuperates from his wounds opens Hallie's eyes to the possibility that maybe there is more in life than prayer and abstinence. John Hawk is not a simple man; he's a man on a quest to avenge the rape and murder of his dead wife. A man who comes with the stigma of Indian blood flowing through his veins as he hands out his own personal brand of justice to the men responsible for tearing his world apart. Nothing will come easy for a mixed breed and a white woman in a land where justice isn't given to everyone and sometimes the weight of a person's past can be deadly.
Set in a world long since gone, Hawk's Woman is the tale of an innocent young woman who decides to follow her heart to happiness. Hallie was too naïve in the way of the world to be afraid of a man who was surely running from the law which made for a sweet love to build and grow. Taking a chance on Hawk, a man who couldn't see past his need for vengeance, Hallie showed a strength that belied her age and experience. Madeline Baker's novel will be considered by some a slow burning tale of romance. Outside of the instances of danger from varied enemies, human and animal, the story basically outlines a sweet and tender romance between a man who needs a reason to live again. A reason he didn't realize he already had without the guidance of a young woman's love. Hawk's Woman is heart warming historical and one readers who like their romance to simmer before the big pay off will definitely enjoy.

Awesome Read!!!
In an era where it's forbidden for a white woman to love an Indian all seems hopeless for Shad and Loralee. Shad is a proud warrior that is drawn to Loralee's innocence and gentleness. Loralee is the sweet teacher who looks at the person, not their race. One chance meeting is all it takes for Shad and Loralee to become strongly attracted to each other. But with their attraction comes consequences. Because she's not sure where she stands with Shad, Loralee soon finds herself in a predictament that leaves her with not many choices. I felt no pity for Mike because he knew exactly what he was getting into by marrying Loralee. His hatred for Indians (Shad in particular) was a complete turn off! After Shad makes a drastic move to be alone with Loralee, everything changes for them. This is a great book! Normally I'm all about the hero but Loralee's strength and deep love for Shad is what made me fall in love with their story. I've several of Madeline Baker books and this is one that I've read many times and will continue to do so!

I loved this one as much as the others ; before i pick him up i read the reviews i thought it was a different story ; now i'm very pleased i bought it !! Shad and Loralee were in love from the beginning ; i had no pitty at all from Mike because he knew all along what he was getting into ; Loralee would never love him and she only married him because she was desperate !! I was very pleased with the ending , Shad and Loralee should always be together with their son !! If you really enjoy reading romance books and put REAL LOVE above all things in the world you will love this book as much as i did .

TOO MUCH DESCRIPTIONS
First of all, I didn't like the long boring descriptions in Love Forevermore. I found myself skipping long paragraphs a lot throughout the book. And secondly, I found the heroine frustrating and sometimes annoying. I did not like the way the hero and heroine in the book committed adultery and I did not like the way the heroine treated her husband. She should've left her husband or divorced him instead of running around with someone else behind his back and therefore humiliating him. Her husband was a good man and shouldn't have been treated so unfairly. I sympathized with her husband more than the couple. Overall, I found the heroine selfish and lacking in common sense.

It is definitely a must read! The hero and heroine is captured very realistically during the times when the Indians and Whites are not suppose to mix. The physical hurt that Shad has to endure for Loralee really takes my breath away. The suffering that both of them went through just to be together in the end......it really shows REAL love. If you haven't read it.....GO AND GET IT!!!
