Customer Reviews

One of the best Historical Fiction Romance Novels I have Read

This book opened my eyes to the treatment of Native Americans by the military. Also there was a lot of bias by both sides but mostly by people immigrated to this country from Europe and other countries. It seemed that the army or our government made treaties just to break them in my opinion! It is a Christian Novel that any adult should read. Definitely has adult material in it! I am not just talking about romance but other things that were done to some of the Native Americans. As a parent I do have to put that out there. Not the worst romance novel I have read with adult material but one a parent should read first!

Fascinating historical fiction

I really liked this historical fiction book. Jennifer Uhlarik is a new author to me but she has quickly become one that I will eagerly anticipate new offerings from! She is a wonderful storyteller as her writing is strong and descriptive. She has blended suspense, romance, and faith in the narrative to make a story that keeps the pages turning. Characters were crafted to be believable, relatable and ones I'd like to have known as friends (well, the good guys anyway!). The story is based on the historical event of the Sand Creek Massacre and I like how the author gave further information regarding the true event in the Author Note at the end of the book. The massacre is a sad commentary on the inhumanity of man and Uhlarik writes with finesse to describe this horrible event. Being a former ICU RN, I enjoyed the medical part of the story, seeing how certain procedures that I have seen performed in modern circumstances were perhaps performed in primitive settings. And then the romance--sweet, tender, and passionate. I was kept on the edge of my seat wondering how this forbidden relationship would ultimately be resolved. Sand Creek Serenade is a heartbreaking and yet, beautiful story of survival, loss, and profound love. I was given a complimentary copy of the book through JustRead Tours and was not required to write a positive review. The opinions are my own.
