Wind Warrior ~ The Iroquois Series ~ Book One
Leslie Michaels is a visionary, and only those close to her know of her special gift and the visions that come when her mind and body surrender to sleep. Fate has a way of righting many wrongs, and for Leslie it is a destiny that changes her life dramatically. But not before she is forced to flee into the wilderness to escape a murderous trapper bent on claiming her for his very own. Faith and a strong will to survive are her only companions, until she encounters Winnokin, the handsome Seneca war chief who first came to her in her dreams. Not only does he prove to be her rescuer and protector, he teaches her that tragedy can breed happiness and the passion to live and love deeply once again.
Wind Warrior plunges readers into the intimate depths of a relationship that unfolds like a live drama before their eyes while painting an insightful and intriguing portrait of Native Indian life in the 1800s. It is a story of longing, of a wanton need to survive all odds, and a love so strong it conquers human evil. Wind Warrior expresses with cunning words the simple, raw human emotions that hold readers spellbound and captivates their hearts.

Wendy Hines, The Minding Spot writes
Wind Warrior is a fantastic Indian Romance. Leslie is a compelling character that deserves a happy ending, after so much tragedy in her life. Winnokin shows the true Indian spirit and loves his white woman completely. Learning about Indian life is compelling and page-turning, and the interaction between Leslie and Winnokin is passionate and sizzling hot. Ms. Roberts is a wonderful storyteller and I look forward to more of her work.
All I can say is WOW!! I purchased this book directly from the publisher, and I have to say that I am so glad that I did. I have a great love for historical romance books and a great love for the Native Americans. I have worked with the Natives, and know them to be wonderful loving giving people and to read Cynthia’s Wind Warrior and to have her write such honest and factual truth about how the Natives live and how they treat one another was wonderful. I love Leslie so much as I felt that I became part of her. The feelings and emotions and such wonderful messages the author has given us. A very spiritual and giving book. I look forward to reading all the books in this series. Thank you Cynthia!!!
Fragments Of Life Blog
Cynthia Roberts writes incredibly with attention to detail. Her lines were pulsing with so much life. It wasn’t plain. Expressive and poetic at times while still grasping that aged style that exists in historical fiction, her lines create such vivid imagery that injects life into the story. The characters mirrored the time and the culture well. The plot was colored with a wide range of emotions that were startlingly savage and violent at times and burning and passionate at others. I found myself unable to put it down.
Romance Junkies Reviewer: Lydia Ferrari ~ Blue Ribbon Rating: 4.5
Wind Warrior is an excellent descriptive tale that takes the readers through many of the difficulties the pioneers had to endure, as well as an intimate look into the tribal daily life of the Seneca Iroquois Indians. If you love vivid descriptions about the lives of the Native American Indians and their attuned sense of peace with the natural environment, this novel is for you. I have become a lifelong fan of Cynthia Roberts and I am eagerly looking forward to her next installment in this Iroquois series.
Lost For Words Reviewer, Corrine Leegstra ~ 4.5 stars
This was an engaging and fast paced book.
I found myself immersed in the world almost immediately, and was drawn
into the lives of the characters. I think that Roberts has a real
talent, and I can't wait to read the next installment in the series. The
characters were well done, and they were very personable. The explicit
scenes were dealt with tastefully and weren't overpowering. I enjoyed
the chemistry between Leslie/White Dove and Winnokin. I found that they
played off of one another well, and I couldn't help but want things to
work out for the two of them. Leslie has had a lot of hardship in her
young life, and she deserved a chance at being happy. Both she and
Winnokin are spiritual people, and it was interesting to see the
different belief systems.
The words
seemed to flow off the page quite fluently, and I loved the
descriptions in this book. Everything seemed to mesh coherently, and the
plot never dragged. I enjoyed the suspense, and mystery and found that
it added another dimension to the book. All in all, I'd say that this book definitely deserves to be
read. You'll be transported back in time, and will become invested in
the outcome for all involved. It is an easy, engaging, and descriptive
book depicting life set in the 1800's. Roberts is definitely one to
watch.
Life In Fiction ~ DJWind Warrior is a culturally rich story about love and loss. Cynthia Roberts’ writing is descriptive, but not overly so. Through her words, she has created detailed and lively scenes, characters, and settings. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I applaud Cynthia Roberts’ ability to have created such a vivid set of characters and a beautiful story.

I loved, loved, LOVED this story. I could not stop
reading it, there was no point to stop or take a break....I had to find
out what would happen. A very emotional read~ my heart broke, was
mended, soared, and then broke again...a fabulous cycle that makes this a
new, but classic, love story.
Amazing.
Amazing.
Cynthia,
I finished your book and all I can say is, "wow". I couldn't put it
down. I finished it up at the mountain cabin curled up by the fire
drinking chai tea. I was in heaven reading every line. Your words
jumped off the pages and placed me right in the midst of the story.
Every character was magic as you so beautifully described them. When is
your next book coming out.

Banished from her Seneca tribe, Nuchzetse (New-zet-see) has no intention of honoring her punishment as a ward to an elderly shaman with a neighboring tribe. That is, until she meets the striking Oneida Bear Clan leader, Lone Star. Even though his contempt for her is obvious, she wrestles between a desire to win his favor or, escape the judgment holding her free spirit captive.
The very fate she has mocked her entire adult life sends her on a dangerous journey that tests the essence of who she is and the woman she secretly wishes to become. Captive Heart ~ Book 2 of the Iroquois Series ~ is a soulful story of spiritual rebirth, and a passionate love story that blossoms during a difficult journey of revelation.

Waited a long time for
Cynthia's 2nd book to come out and it was sooo much the wait. I liked
that she made the antagonist, Nuchzetse, the main character and once I
started the read I could not put it down. Her journey was truly one of
self-discovery and the tension between her and Lone Star I was glad to
see turned into one of hot, hot, hot passion. I love a story where the
emotional connection seems real and your drawn into the character’s
mind. I could picture the scenes and settings clearly and felt I was
there right along with her. Hoping there's a Book 3.

I read the first book in this series, Wind Warrior and fell in love with the author right away and was thrilled that Book 2 was finally released. I just could not put this book down. Cynthia has a wonderful gift transporting you into a time and place outside of your own seating area. She does a magnificent job creating a movie reel in your mind of the characters in motion. I truly felt as though I was there amid all of the happenings. What I love is that she doesn't depict the native Indians she is writing about as savages but rather, a spiritual, wise and protective race. Her writing is tastefully descriptive and you can tell she took a lot of time researching their culture and folklore. Captive Heart is a wonderful, emotional and captivating love story. The passion between her characters is extremely hot but not vulgar ... you'll be chasing down your partners for certain ;) Can't wait until Book 3 comes out.

A poignant tale, CAPTIVE HEART, the second book in talented author Cynthia Roberts’ IROQUOIS series, is a warm, passionate historical romance that will transport you back to colonial America. This tale of spiritual rebirth and passionate love gives insight into the Indian people, who are often thought of as savage, but in reality only seek to peacefully coexist with the white man. There are lessons that we could take from them. They live off the land, not depleting it, but honoring it and live close to their God, thanking Him for their blessings and seeking His guidance in their every action. This beautifully written story will touch your heart as it gives a perception into another way of life. By combining love, passion, hatred, danger, spiritual guidance, kidnapping, violence, remorse, Indian customs and legends as well as second chances, Ms. Roberts has penned a story that is unforgettable. Whether you are a fan of colonial and Indian romances or not, I believe you will enjoy this story. This book can be read as a standalone, but for additional enjoyment, do not miss the first book in this series, WIND WARRIOR, the tale of Winnokin and White Dove. I recommend CAPTIVE HEART and look forward to reading more of Cynthia Roberts’ works.
