She Belongs in My World by Karen Kay

The Medicine Man Book 5

Sponsored

Beauty, Treachery, and an Untamed Wild Love.

Liliann Varga had been too young the first time she met and fell head-over-heels in love with the Blackfeet Medicine Man, First Rider, the man who saved her father’s life. Besides, he was newly married to a woman of his own tribe. But years later, when Liliann’s husband has committed a terrible aggression against her, it’s First Rider who once again is called upon to put his healing skills to use.

First Rider has come to heal Liliann, not to seduce her. But his reaction to the grown up Liliann, the little girl who used to be his shadow, is entirely masculine and sensual. Though he’d vowed to bring his first wife back after her capture by an enemy tribe, he’d failed and she had died, causing First Rider to nearly lose his mind. Could Liliann be his second chance at love?

Enacting a “scout’s revenge” against Liliann’s cruel husband would leave the man alive but broken, and it would also set Liliann free. But, just as their love deepens, a report emerges: First Rider’s wife is still alive. To discover the truth or lies of the rumor, they both embark on a dangerous journey through the Backbone-of-the-world Mountains.

But, with little more than a bow and a gun, can they survive the beautiful but treacherous snows to find a world where they both belong?

Warning: Sensuous Romance that could cause a gal to climb the highest mountain to find true love.

Reviews

“I think Karen did a great job with this book & the whole series. It was so nice to have a series with Native Americans as the main focus. I will admit, I had to think back on the past books in the series to remember where these characters were introduced. After I remembered that, it was a great story of their lives after being apart for many years. Their lives showed the love they had for each other even in past years & how that love made them a strong team. She was always at his side even knowing that what they went looking for could tear them apart forever. The stuck together & made it through all the trials & tribulations facing them. I loved that the had their happy ending. I can only hope for more Native American stories like this one from Karen Kay. Good job Karen.” 5 Stars, Amazon

A immensely enjoyable read. Karen writes passionately about this topic and she is great with helping the reader get a sense of how the customs and history of thhis time. The storyline was great and some surprises within. loved it.5 Stars, Amazon

“The series encourages passionate understanding across racial divides. Karen Kay has managed to clearly and poetically explain love. I recommend this series because of its language explanations of live, trust, and belonging. Karen Kay has defined the explanation of expressions between the two main characters and their journey. The book manages a portrait of embracing differences and providing an excellent continuation of this series.” 5 Stars, Amazon
