When I read the first book to this series Comanche Moon, I fell inlove with Amy and Chase! I knew C.A. had to complete a book about these two wonderful characters that was all their own. I also enjoyed reading about Loretta and Hunter again. Make sure to read the two following books Indigo Blue and Comanche Magic which bring all of these wonderful characters together again! Comanche Hart was just what I needed after reading Camanche Moon. I feel in love with Amy and Chase and I was not disapointed!

Amy Masters leaves Texas and travels to Oregon to become a teacher. After having been raped, she is afraid to try to love even though years earlier she pledged herself to Swift Antelope. He has never forgotten and once again this magnificent Comanche warrior finds her. Now, however, he is a nortorious gunslinger with his own problems, as he stands accused of a murder he didn't commit. He vows to make her honor her sacred promise.

The author certainly is a great storyteller and in such a way that there wasn't a page that I didn't enjoy. I loved and knew the characters as if they came out of My head--another plus for Black. The pleasure was all mine to read it again.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I read it for the first time over 5 yrs ago. It was my favorite then, and still is. Black defined the characters' personalities very well. She does not leave the reader hanging either. She provided a definite ending for the book. And yet, I still wanted to read more! I recommend this book to anyone. Although I love the writing of Rosanne Bittner, who also writes of American Indian romance, Black is still my favorite author.

Comanche Passion was the very first book I ever read by Ms. Brooks than after I enjoy reading all of her books. Go back to the book, I deals with a young girl who had learn that she has a bother in the hands of the Comanches Tribe. She had no idea were to start looking for him. But the only a half-breed Comanche Indian himself. But you have to read it for yourself to find out the breathtaking, romance and exciement of the story. I sure do recommand this book for you to read.

Wow! This book is terrific. My first Betty Brooks novel. To be sure I will be reading more! It was everything you could ask for in a book, Adventure, Captivating, Romantic, Emotional, Exciting. Each and every page something was going on. I was totally involved in the characters and loved both of them. The story is about Serena, who as a child was left stranded when both her parents were killed and her brother kidnapped by the Comanche. Of coarse she was rescued by a white man who loved her and raised her as his own. When she grew up she learned of her brother's existence and made it her obsession to find him. She was told to seek a man 'Pecos' who was most likely to help her accomplish her goal. The only disappointing part to me was it never reconciled brother and sister to my satisfaction, but hopefully that will be another novel. Still it was a wonderful exciting book and I would recommend it to anyone.

In the character of Fish Rawlings, Dearen seems to have combined the youthful exuberance of Samuel Clemens' Huckleberry Finn with the adventurous independence of Rowdy Yates (a young Clint Eastwood) from the old popular television series "Rawhide." . . . For today's young readers who did not grow up with those television western series that starred young men like "Wagon Train's" Barnaby West, "Rawhide's" Rowdy Yates, and "The High Chapparal's" Blue Cannon, the Lone Star Heroes Series helps fill the gap. -- REVIEW OF TEXAS BOOKS, SUMMER 2002.

The first book in a series for young readers [ages 8-13] featuring eleven-year-old Fish Rawlings and his cousin Gid, who try to prevent a battle between the Comanches and the Anglo wagon train in 1867. An outstanding debut to new territory for Dearen, and as usual, he does a masterful job.

I can't believe a book as great as this one can be out of print. I am not a big fan of westerns and before I read this book and its predecessor, The Season of Yellow Leaf, I did not have much of an interest in Native Americans. These two books absolutely captivated me, however. I am no expert, but both of these books seem very authentic and believable. The culture of the Commanches is fascinating, and the characters are complex and easy to relate to. This is not a book without flaws. For example, Jones is not always 100% consistent in his views of the Commanches and the white settlers. This is a very ambitious work, however, and its small flaws are easily forgivable. This book comes very close to being a masterpiece of American Literature and it will change the way you think about Native Americans forever.

This marvelous story focuses on Liverpool Morgan, a simple but very literate former Confederate army man who, after the Civil War, works for the Indian Agency and the army in Oklahoma Territory. His friendship with the Commanche tribe and its intelligent, perceptive chief, who are struggling to adapt to the world of the white man and the disappearance of their world in just a few decades, is wonderfully told. It's really a classic and must be based on true stories of this frontier.

LaDonna Harris: A Comanche Life - proves to be an extraordinary quasi-autobiographical story - in many respects, this book pays tribute to the time-honored oral traditions of Native people. Harris works with Stockel and shares her story in a compassionate and compelling manner.

She amply demonstrates that you can become a global citizen by using your tribal values as a compass on the the local, national and international frontiers. This book documents her Comanche up-bringing and pays tribute to those values that prove to be essential to her life's triumphs.

Harris has proven herself in many sectors, though Stockel focuses primarily on her role in Indian Country, so the reader doesn't get to fully appreciate the impact she has had on the women's, environmental and third party political movements in America.

This is a compelling story that celebrates a life that touched several generations and societies. I strongly recommend this book, for it tells a story of an extraordinary life!

The content of this book reflects an important time in the history of the United States. "LaDonna Harris, A Comanche Life" discusses issues ranging from racism to the evolution of women through their emerging role in politics during the 1950's and 60's. LaDonna lends the reader an account of her involvement on paramount issues during a tumultuous time of change in American culture. As I read this book, I thought about Jonathan Kozol's book entitled "Savage Inequalities" only to contemplate the question, "Are minorities really better off now?"

As a university professor of multicultual education, I will definitely add "LaDonna Harris, A Comanche Life" to my book list for students to read.

Bill Neeley is to be commended for a fine and well documented historical work which reads as good as a Larry McMurtry novel. No finer cast of characters could be invented than those very real people who populated Quanah Parker's world of the Texas Panhandle at the end of the 19th century. Definitely a book for those who prefer there history as it really happened. Not glossed over or compared only to the way it fits into someone's idea of what constitutes the historical "big picture". Must reading for those interested in the history of the plains Indians and real life cowboys, frontiers-folk and Texas lore. Sired by the great Commanche war chief Nocona on Cynthia Ann Parker, a young Texan captive taken in a raid on her father's ranch, Quanah Parker was the last and probably the finest example of a Commanche warrior. Although they never numbered more than 3,000 to 5,000 warriors, the Commanche stood astride the southern gateway to the west and single handedly stopped the southwestern expansion of America for 100 years. The reason Lewis and Clark were sent north to find a route to the west coast around them. So hated by the Texans that the Texas Rangers were created with the sole purpose of annihilating them. The Commanches preyed on Texan settlers along the frontier for both livelihood and sport. Quanah Parker was the last man standing. The last of the plains Indians to surrender to the US Cavalry. Never defeated in battle. Quanah led a tired band of warriors to Ft. Sill Oklahoma, gave up the fight and became a legend in his own time. Neely tells the story well, no unnecessary sentiment, no moral judgement. Just a man and his times as recounted by him in old age, his friends, his enemies and the newspapers of the day. Great fodder for a movie, the life of Quanah Parker. A genuine American hero, although I am not sure he would consider that a complement.

Bill Neeley's Book- The Last Comanche Chief, The Life and Times of Quanah Parker is the most comprehensive account of the greatest Comanche chief ever to roam the plains. His book chronicles Quanah's entire life, beggining with the capture of his white mother at Parker's fort. This book details Quanah's storied war accomplishments, and also of his acclaimed rise to favor in the white man's world. Quanah befriended the nation's most powerful men, and his people benefitted from his amazing influence with the white man. It includes a section of rare photos that are just as marvelous as the rest of the book. If you have a passion for books about Native Americans, or just like to read about great leaders, Bill Neeley's book is for you.

I took Dr. Jones in 1997, for the Indians of the High Plains class, at UCF, Orlando. He is, without a doubt, one of the most articulate, fascinating, and knowledgable people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Sanapia is based on the time he spent with a Comanche woman of the same name, and it is a fascinating glimpse into the customs of the Comanche tribe. He spends a great deal of time discussing the spiritual concepts of the Comanches, as well as the use of various plants for ritualistic purposes. I recommend this book to anybody not only to anthropology students, but also to anybody with even a slight interest in Native American beliefs/culture.

In reading about the eagle doctor,Sanapia is very concern about the comanche losing their idenity, and theri traditional ways. The book explains her going through to become a eagle doctor as her mother and grandmother before her. I'm still interested in the Pabukut.

Bluebonnet Girl by Michael Lind retells a legend of the Comanche Native Americans about how a young girl's sacrifice of her greatest treasure saves her land and her people from terrible drought and suffering. Featuring the artwork of Kate Kiesler, Bluebonnet Girl is a beautifully illustrated and highly recommended tale of courage and sacrifice which is narrated for young readers ages 4 to 9 in rhyming verse.
