Part two in the Grey Eagle series
Alisha has just been taken from Fort Pierre by Grey Eagle. He has decided to show her his love and she couldn't be happier. The next morning when two strange Indians show up, one obviously a chief, and start to examine her, Alisha can't help but be hurt and afraid that Grey Eagle has sold her to another. Was his love just another evil and cruel joke?
Brave Bear treats Alisha wonderfully. He's thoughtful and sweet. He's kind and gentle. Alisha determines she's going to obey him and make him a wonderful slave. That is until Grey Eagle shows up to reclaim her. Should she go back to his cruelty or should she fight to stay where there is kindness and acceptance?
I liked this book even better than the first. I loved Brave Bear and all his kindness. His thoughts and feelings were pure. At the same time you get to see more of Grey Eagle's love for Alisha. It makes you start to disregard the Stockholm syndrome idea. It goes into more detail of the kindness he did show her between the brutality and his reasoning behind it. There's that cultural barrier and the fact that he's the chief's son. Of course, as modern day women who are free from the hold that men held over women in the 1700s, and as early as the 1900s, it's a little harder for us to comprehend, I think. Still, wonderfully descriptive and captivating. The first chapter is a rehash of the last chapter of the first book, but I did notice some added parts and different people's views thrown in so it can't hurt to read it if you want different perspectives.
