5.0
Synopsis from the cover of the book: Maggie is a modern day woman with all her flaws, trust back into a time when men were carving out the history of America. She has just enough knowledge of the past to know trouble is coming, yet soon she is kicking herself for not playing better attention in history class. When she is captured by Winn, a warrior who is torn between is duty to kill her and his desire to keep her, she must adapt to a life she had only read about in history books.
Winn is a Seventeenth century Paspahegh warrior, born in a time before the English settlers arrived on the shores of the Tsenacomoco. He has learned the ways of the English and uses his knowledge to ensure the survival of his people, but when he finds a wounded woman in the woods his loyalty is put to the ultimate test.
Hunted an feared by both the Powhatan and the English, Maggie struggles to find a way home while Winn plots to keep here there. Maggie fights to survive and finds herself in The Massacre of 1622, and Winn sees everything he ever believed shattered by the knowledge she holds. With ties to both the past and future, their lives unfold among the stirrings of a new nation. Maggie and Winn risk everything to survive as the once powerful Powhatan Nation crumbled and the English build a country from the ashes.

My words: Wow, it isn’t often I find a historical romance that I can get my teeth into and be hooked nowadays (my fav is contemporary) my favourite have always been Native American and this book was phenomenal, I absolutely loved it. The love story between Maggie and Winn was wonderful. The time reading about the Native Americans was engrossing, the scenes of The Massacre of 1662 were awful to read, but at the same time bought history to light. I hadn’t realised the Native Americans fought with the English so early as 1622 and used google to look up facts to find out more.
This book is available on Kindle Unlimited and Maggie and Winn’s story continues in book two called Return of the Pale Feather which I’m starting right away.
