The second book in Rosanne Bittner’s bold Savage Destiny series continues the love story of Zeke and Abbie Monroe. For the first five years of her marriage Abbie lives among the Cheyenne, learning their customs and beliefs and giving birth to a son who is as wild and free as his Native American family, and a daughter who will one day be forced to choose between her Indian and white blood. Through real historical events involving the government and Native Americans, Zeke and Abbie cling to one another through danger and torn loyalties. This story vividly depicts the “right” and “wrong” of both sides in the bloody conflicts that arose as the West was settled. Through it all Zeke strives to reach the point where he can provide his Abbie with a real “white woman’s “ home, where she can set a prized family heirloom, a mantle clock, over a fireplace in a house with real wood floors and a cooking hearth. Though his heart is as wild as his Cheyenne blood, Zeke will give up that life for his beloved Abbie.

Ride the Free Wind Savage Destiny Book 2 edition by Rosanne Bittner Literature Fiction eBooks

This review is of “Ride the Free Wind” book #2 in the “Savage Destiny” series by Rosanne Bittner.

The story: “Ride the Free Wind” begins shortly after the first book, “Sweet Prairie Passion”, ended. Abigail “Abbie” Trent Monroe and her husband, “Cheyenne” Zeke Monroe, are traveling to find Zeke’s Cheyenne relatives; his mother and three Cheyenne half-brothers (Zeke also has three white half-brothers, one of whom, Danny Monroe, is introduced in this book.) Danny, as well as one of Zeke’s Indian brothers, Swift Arrow, will play pivotal roles as the series goes on.

There are also three evil characters introduced who will adversely affect Zeke, Abbie, their family and the Cheyenne. They are:

Dancing Moon: An Arapaho Indian woman and Zeke’s former lover, Dancing Moon becomes intensely jealous when Zeke brings Abbie into the Cheyenne camp. This emotion leads to a series of attacks against both Zeke and Abbie. Zeke takes revenge on Dancing Moon, but does not kill her, a decision he will come to rue as the series continues...

Winston Garvey: A U.S. Senator who lusts after money and power, Garvey aspires to become a war profiteer when the U.S. and Mexico go to war, among other plans.

Jonathan Mack: Garvey’s right-hand man. Mack hires Zeke to act as a scout for a dangerous expedition. What Zeke doesn’t know is that Mack has stashed contraband in the wagons so that HE can profit from the Mexican-American War.

As the book goes on, Zeke and Danny find each other, Zeke and Abbie become parents of two children-a son, Little Rock, and a daughter, Blue Sky-but both they and the Cheyenne and the rest of the Native American tribes deal with sadness and anger as their ways of life are forever altered by the encroachment of white society.

Upside: As usual, Ms. Bittner’s writing is exquisite. I never feel as if I’m reading a book she writes, but rather that I am watching the characters in front of me, and I feel every one of their emotions, especially Zeke and Abbie’s. I feel their happiness, and I feel their pain, and that is something only the truly great authors can engender in me.

I also like the fact that Ms. Bittner writes Zeke as a totally human character. Unline Gray Eagle, the “hero” of Janelle Taylor’s “Ecstasy/Gray Eagle” series, who is often written as omnipotent, Ms. Bittner doesn’t write Zeke that way. During the course of the “Savage Destiny” series, Zeke is shot and injured and allowed to be human. This is great to see and makes Zeke a total character as opposed to a caricature.

Downside: In addition to what I wrote in my review of “Sweet Prairie Passion”, I can add one more criticism of Ms. Bittner: at times, the “Savage Destiny” series is formulaic. The formula goes like this: Zeke and Abbie are happy. Zeke and Abbie are separated. Abbie and/or Zeke is attacked. Zeke finds the attackers and inflicts maximum pain on the malefactors before-usually-killing them. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Sex: Ms. Bittner’s love scenes are very salty; this is not a compliment. Salt, to me, is a very basic spice, and that also describes Ms. Bittner’s love scenes. Basic, at best.

Violence: Ms. Bittner’s scenes here, however, are far from basic. As usual, there are scenes of assault, rape and various killings. When Zeke does it, it’s a little more graphic and creative.

Bottom Line: I’m much more willing to forgive Ms. Bittner for the somewhat formulaic nature of some of her scenes due to how exceptional she is in other areas. Ms. Bittner’s books will not be everyone’s cup of tea, but those who like Native American romances will find lots to love in Rosanne Bittner’s books.

Ride the Free Wind Savage Destiny Book 2 edition by Rosanne Bittner Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

First read this series in the 80's. Out of the 200 plus novels I've read the Savage Destiny Series is still my favorite. Lost count how many times I've read the 7 book series. Today, and much older, my eye sight kept me from reading books for many years until I found out 'Savage Destiny' was going to be an e-book for the kindle. That is the main reason I purchased the kindle, and able to read with large print. It took a little patience but now the 'Savage Destiny' series is out and like the first time I can't put it down.
Not only is it a romance novel, it's an edge of the seat read, full of action, some historical events (which I learned a lot from these books of that time than in school). It's a love story you'll immerse yourself into. Zeke and Abigail's love story has made my heart pumping and breathless! I couldn't get enough, had to get the next book and chapter until I finish the 7th book. A MUST READ!!!!!
I will be reading all of Rosanne Bittner's books!
I wasn't going to read the others in the series because I couldn't quite get into the first one but decided to give it a shot. I really did like this continuing story of Abbie Trent and Zeke Monroe. Zeke returned to get Abbie even though he thought it better to just leave her at Ft Bridger after he completed his obligation to the wagon train to see them to Oregon. Abbie was wounded to badly so had to stay behind at the fort. Now they are married living with the Cheyenne since Abbie decided to follow her man wherever he goes. Swift Arrow is a step brother to Zeke who will be her most ardent critic but he will also be her best support after she shows her grit and determination to be a good wife to Zeke. Zeke also fooled around with an Arapahoe woman Dancing Moon who tries to kill Abbie but is banished from the tribe. We also meet Winston Garvey the Washington senator and his henchman Jonathan who are trying to manipulate the Indian situation to their financial benefit when they hire Zeke to drive their wagons with guns unbeknownst to Zeke and his good friend. They are ambushed and Dancing Moon is now an outlaw princess who leaves him for dead. Of course Cheyenne Zeke get his revenge but the adventures just keep on coming. There is some trips down memory lane that are necessary because Abbie has lost her whole family on the wagon train as well as living a completely different life than she had envisioned growing up. So these cherished memories help sustain her but Zeke's childhood memories are not so good and he worries about how white people will treat Abbie. However Abbie is strong in her love for him and wanting to give him sons as a good wife wants. You can almost here the Tennessee twang in her speech as she assures Zeke she is happy. She finds good friends in Gentle Woman and Tall Grass Woman and loves learning the ways of the People. However the winds of change are blowing and not in a good way for the Plains Indians. It is like civilization meets stone age man. I do like reading fiction wrapped up in actual historical fact and the author does a great job intertwining the two into an action packed and suspenseful story. diamondgirl
