Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

The raiders came in the morning light. They left minutes later leaving destruction and death behind. Two people were carried along. Every effort would be used to see the babe survived. The woman had no guarantee. To survive she had to become the Wolfkeeper's Woman.

About the Author

Lisa Day fell in love with reading Historical Romances years ago. Never did she think she'd want to write one, nor see her writing in print. Lisa is a 'Jersey Girl' who headed south and stayed. If born in the 1800's she would have been in one of those covered wagons going west. Since, her husband and their dog love the invention of air-conditioning, and her preferences for the other modern comforts of her home, Lisa now travels back in time to the wild west in her mind and of course now on paper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly One To Pull At The Heart Strings
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2013

Wolfkeeper’s woman goes beyond the standard white woman / Indian romance. Wolfkeeper is violent and abusive to Cassie to begin with, with hatred and racism on both parts that would be true to the era it is set in. It is uncomfortable and heartbreaking and I literally couldn’t put it down. Unlike the usual Indian on a horse saves a white woman scenario, here he is her enemy, murderer of her husband and kidnapper of her child.

Cassie having to endure the death of her husband and the kidnapping of her infant child is forced through the love of a mother to a child to go with the warriors that were involved. She endures horrendous times, having her child within arms reach yet not being able to hold and cuddle it like a mother should, along with many other abusing acts towards her. Having endured all she had Cassie remained defiant and refusing to give up on her child, making a tear jerking decision towards the end knowing it was best for all involved, especially the child

Wolfkeeper although abusive physically and psychologically towards Cassie at the beginning I found myself unable to hate the character and actually feel for him as his actions became more gentler and kinder, although there was a lot of confusion along the way. Wolfkeeper’s own confusion over his growing feelings for a white woman had him whip her one-minute for her defiance and soothe her wounds the next.

In time the sexual tension grew between the two and although Wolfkeeper would touch and fondle her, he would not take it further until Cassie was “ready” and yearning for him as much as he for her. His pet names would change from “ghostwoman” and “stupid woman” to “woman of my heart”. He literally became caring, considerate and understanding and having a passion and love for Cassie that would make other men fear dare they hurt her heart and soul. My heart broke when he confided some heartrending news to her and no matter how violent Cassie become or how much she cried and screamed, he remained patient and understanding telling her as she finally dosed off “woman of my heart, trust me”.

Confused to the very end, Cassie finally made a decision to stay or go, only when she was given a choice. Her childhood wasn’t of her choice, neither was her marriage, it was a way of leaving her past behind. Wolfkeeper didn’t give her a choice either, until the end.

I must admit I also liked that the author went into the story of Becky Benton, the neighbour that also became a widow during the raid and what became of her. It was nice to know that she would be ok having been widowed with children to feed.

What I didn’t like was the lack of description of the leads and other characters some came and went without too much mention. I have no idea what tribe Wolfkeeper and his people are from as it is never mentioned, traditions were discussed and as I am not of native decent do I guess as I wont come close. In addition I have not had to reread a sentence so often in a single book. The grammar was atrocious. Words doubled up, incorrect words used etc. It was very frustrating to me as I truly did love the book but having to stop and go back to reread a sentence twice or three times I lost concentration

Having added the above, more for potential purchases of the book than myself, as I don’t regret the book for a second, I still give it a 5 star rating. I truly enjoyed my heart breaking and actually truly caring for Cassie, her child and even Wolfkeeper.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fast easy read-but needs an editor
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2013

I really did enjoy this book, couldn't put it down. It was a fast and easy read and the story was very compelling and original in the way it brings out people's emotions. The characters were lovable and interesting. So why the low review?

First off the book is in desperate need of editing, MANY times the word usage was just plain wrong,filled with typos and stupid mistakes that look like auto-correct gone bad. There were also several instances of incorrect punctuation and the worst yet, there were sentences that just plain didn't make sense. This has little to do with the actual story, but does take away from the experience.

Another case where an editor was clearly missing was the unnecessary character back-stories of people you only hear from once, and no back-story of people you hear from several times. To take that a step further, there's a whole "B" plot about a family that has nothing to do with the main character other than the fact that she knew them. Other than the fact that the husbands are friends, you know nothing about how Cassie related to the family itself and thus have no reason to care about this family that the author keeps putting on you like they matter. Now, if there is a sequel to this book about how the two families meet, which she kind of alluded to at one point, this criticism, obviously becomes moot. However, as of now, I found the interruptions pointless and frankly didn't care for it.

My last and final criticism of this otherwise intriguing book is the lack of historical reference or significance. At no point do you know what year this is, what is going on with the country, the political agenda, and battles of the time, or anything you would expect from a historical fiction novel. Although customs are explained, you aren't even given the name of what tribe Wolfkeeper belongs to. Your not even given a good geographical location, forced to make assumptions based on clues she gives; west, mountains, not too cold or snowy, near Apache territory. The only tribe mentioned is Apache, briefly, so we know it's not them. Other than that, it's like readings a book you know takes place in America, during a significant time, but what time, what's going on and what people are even involved is all a mystery she refuses to solve.

Basically, read it for a fun easy read, but don't expect it to have amazing writing or any historical context.

4.0 out of 5 stars Should I like the lead man?
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2013
Verified Purchase
I enjoyed this book. It was very well written, with a good story. Although I did like the lead man, it actually took me awhile to get to that point. He is strong, and definitely an alpha male. His treatment of the lead lady was not particularly kind, either physically or emotionally. It was a love that started as true hatred, and had to develop into a mutual connection, and later love. It's nice to read something where the reader doesn't automatically receive instant satisfaction with the characters. It also had to be a slow build up. Look forward to trying more books by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Compelling and Emotional Romance!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 18, 2013
Verified Purchase
I was blown away by the emotional intensity of this unorthodox romance between sworn enemies, a Native American warrior, Wolfkeeper and an American homesteader Cassie.

In Wolfkeeper's Woman, Cassie, who has recently given birth, finds her home attacked by Indians. Her husband is killed and Cassie finds herself captive of one of the men instrumental in his murder, a powerful and terrifying warrior, Wolfkeeper. Wolfkeeper gifts Cassie's son to his brother and sister-in-law, who have already lost three pregnancies, which naturally leaves Cassie devastated. Cassie is referred to as The Ghostwoman by the tribe, shunned by many and is not allowed to communicate with her son. There are some truly heartbreaking scenes as Cassie's son is taken from her and what occurs whenever their paths do cross. Wolfkeeper assumes the role as Cassie's protector, ensuring that she obeys his command to keep away from her son, whom he tells her is now dead to her, and that she strives to assimilate into the ways of his people.

Cassie has little choice but to cooperate if she is to have any chance of escaping with her son. She despises Wolfkeeper for what he has done to her and her family. However, she is forced to rely upon him for protection, guidance and at times comfort in this strange new world, where she does not even speak the language and is ignorant of its complex customs, which are so different to those of the white man.

Wolfkeeper demands total compliance from Cassie, who finds herself carrying out daily tasks for him and having to permit his touches, which increase in intensity, becoming more and more sexual. Although their relationship is not immediately fully consummated, Wolfkeeper demands dominion over Cassie's body to bind her to him, in a number of sensual scenes, and she is powerless to resist, knowing that no one will come to her aid. She permits his caresses at first because she is fearful of the consequences of refusal and then because she enjoys them, even while she despises him. Yet how can she permit her body to betray her when he has committed the sins of killing her husband and taking away her child? Can she possibly let him into her heart or even forgive him?

Wolfkeeper at first regards Cassie purely as the enemy and treats her harshly. However, he comes to respect her inner strength. He is pleased when she does begin to assimilate into the life of his people. Cassie begins to penetrate Wolfkeeper's heart and he decides that he wants to make her his. He is a wise and patient man and knows that he must bide his time if he is to win her. However, the issue of her son is always between them. Will Cassie accept that her son is lost to her forever and embrace Wolfkeeper and the ways of the tribe or will she reject them and escape at the first opportunity? There are many twists to the tale as Cassie and Wolfkeeper both struggle with the feelings that they develop for each other and I was hooked from start to finish!

Cassie is a great heroine, showing great strength of character for one who has suffered so much. She has been given few choices in her life, being very much a victim of circumstance. However, she responds with courage and dignity. I found the growing respect, trust and affection between the couple a beautiful and touching love story, surprising given the circumstances of their relationship.

There are a number of supporting characters in the novel, some of them native American Indians and some of them other white settlers. One of my favourite characters, apart from the main couple was Wolfkeeper's grandmother. I also liked the character of Becky, the widow of Todd, the friend of Cassie's husband, who also lost his life in the Indian attack on Cassie's home. The author weaves her story throughout the main narrative and I found it to be a touching one. I was also fascinated by the customs of the Native Americans and how they differed from those of the white man.

I recommend this novel to readers of western historical romance, especially those who like an emotional and sensual read. It will particularly appeal to those who like to examine forgiveness and acceptance and how individuals from different cultures can come together. The author Lisa Day has a true gift for original storytelling.

This was a beautiful love story but unfortunately it was ruined by lots of missing texts that always seem to happen at the most interesting times where the story just didn’t flow.
You started off hating wolfkeeper but ended up loving him but I still feel that it could have had a better proofreader.

The problem with this book is the huge number of errors throughout, as a previous reviewer stated it appears to be a very poor translation into English. A shame because there is a decent plot and characters. This book really should be removed and corrected.
