5.0 out of 5 stars
exciting Indian romance, Jan 31 2010
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wind Warrior (Mass Market Paperback)
In 1859 in the Montana Wilderness, Blackfoot warriors led by Dull Knife capture thirteen year old Marianna Bryant. Dull Knife's brother recently renamed Wind Warrior after being called He-Who-Waits is attracted to the captive called Rain Song especially her courage and her adaptation to the tribal lifestyle. He knows she is his future mate, but is careful as his people know he is ordained to one day become their leader.
Envious with ire Dull Knife hates his sibling who he feels has not earned the adulation of the Council and the rest of the tribe; nor proven he can lead as prophesied because he believes Wind Warrior is too compassionately weak to kill their enemies. When Dull Knife claims Rain Song as his squaw, the sibling rivalry ignites to the point they endanger the tribe.
This is an exciting Indian romance starring a brave heroine and the two brothers who compete over everything including her. The story line is fast-paced yet provides a deep look at life in a Montana Blackfoot village. Fans will enjoy this engaging historical romantic triangle as Constance O'Banyon brings alive her villagers during the Civil War.

Wonderful, Dec 13 2010
By L. Richter "Redheart" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wind Warrior (Mass Market Paperback)
I have to say it has been nearly 30 years since a novel has grabbed me like this one did. It is a wonderful story of which I found myself caught up in quickly, I actually could not put it down. I have read hundreds and hundreds of books over the years, but few have totally grabbed me as this one did. I was immersed in the telling of it and with the wonderful characters good and evil, I enjoyed the journey. It was so refreshing to me to read a very good story in the historical romance section again, as several years ago I got turned off by romances because many authors were more focused on just sex in their books and forgot how to tell a good story. This has all the elements of a good romance from a wonderful storyteller. Great job Constance, for you create magic in your storytelling, thank you for the delightful journey you created in this one.

Touching, innocence, enthralling, Mar 17 2011
By Jane Austen queen "Book lover" - Published on Amazon.com
I did not expect to enjoy this book as the beginning was full of horrific details and hate and one of the characters was a monster. The story changed for the better. It was so full of human compassion, love, desires, innocence. I enjoyed it tremendously. Constance O'Banyon and Madeline Baker are two of my all favorite romance authors.
