Swift Eagle had no idea that his dreams would lead him to Jessica Maxwell and her kids, but he comes upon them stranded on the mountain, he knows it's his destiny to protect them from harm. Distrustful of Indians, and fearful of the Lakota Warrior's intent, Jessica is hesitant to allow Swift Eagle to take care of them; but when she witnesses his gentle spirit and willingness to help not only her but her two children, she places their lives in his very capable hands.

 Determined to get them to safety before the big snow falls, things are complicated when Jessica becomes gravely ill. He uses all of his skill and strength to save her so that her kids aren't left without a mother, as well as a father.

 Ms. White brings this magnificent tale of love together with just the right touches of warmth, spirit and characterization. Moon of the Falling Leaves is a beautiful romance between a man and woman from different cultures, realizing that love does conquer all things. It's cleverly written and well-researched. I adored the multi-dimensional depth of Swift Eagle and found him to be sensual, kind and masterful. Jessica is equally engaging as she realizes all the things she's heard about the Indian race aren't true. It's intriguing to watch her intensity and commitment to what she believes in and how she copes with her own physical discomfort while traveling in the brutally cold weather, being ill and later during another tragic situation.

 The plot flows smoothly as this story explores so many emotions, and literally found that I simply couldn't put it down. For those who may be afraid to take a chance on love, this book will absolutely convince you to never give up. Moon of the Falling Leaves is classically exquisite and I'll treasure it forever.

Excerpt

Swift Eagle watched

The woman moved her head impatiently, waiting for him to speak, her brows drawn up in a question.  He needed her to understand who held control, so he spoke in his most commanding voice.  "Choose to stand, if you wish." 

Her face paled at his words, anger sparking in her eyes.  Presuming she resented his giving her permission to stand, he sighed at the foolishness of the female species.  Shrugging indifferently, he spoke with exaggerated patience.  "You will need my help to get to the town below this mountain.  I have come here guided by my vision to give you that help.  You have nothing to fear from me." 

"I am not afraid of you."

"Why is there anger in your voice?"  Swift Eagle observed her carefully.  Measuring the ebb and flow of her fear.  Seeking a way to settle that fear.  Earn her trust and cooperation.

"I'm not angry.  I'm tired."  Her shoulders sagged perceptibly, defiance appearing to melt.  "Why would you want to help usa White family?  Your eyes tell me you don't like us."

"I do not know you.  Why would I not like you?  I am here because of a vision sent by the Great Spirit, who watches over all people."
