Savage Ecstasy by Janelle Taylor
Gray Eagle and Alisha
Gray Eagle and AlishaBorn in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, Janelle Taylor is one of our favorite authors when it comes to romance novels about Native Americans. Her novels are finely written and always inspire a sense of awe in us, with the 1982 tale Savage Ecstasy being the cream of the crop. The very first moment when their eyes met, Gray Eagle and Alisha were smitten for one another.
Bold and Fearless
Alisha was a pretty young woman, while Gray was a Native American, bold, fearless, but alas captive. As Gray is being put to suffering by the whites, it is only Alisha that treats him human decency. In the depraved world where they have both been thrust, we see how little it takes for the heart to connect with another and to fall headfirst into a potent love.
