When Ash Remains By: Dena Garson


Book Description....

"A warrior with a mission
There isn’t a buffalo or deer that Kajika cannot take down. So when his cousin is slaughtered he relishes the chance to track down the killer. The trail leads him to a woman with gifts he has trouble believing in. Despite their differences he cannot fight his instinct to protect her from all threats – even those he cannot see. That drive even rivals his desire to explore every inch of her body.

A woman with a destiny
Knowing the spirits will protect her, Ahyoka allows the handsome warrior to take her to be questioned by his chief about the unexplained deaths in their village. He may not believe in her abilities but he is one of the few who doesn’t treat her like something to be feared or shunned. He awakens feelings that make her yearn for things she thought she’d never have. Her biggest fear is that once he learns the full extent of her gifts he will reject her like most of her tribe did.

A killer twisted by hurt and anger
Kajika and Ahyoka must work together to find the one responsible for the string of deaths in and around their villages. Faith, trust, and even a little bit of love will be needed to defeat the killer and right the wrongs committed in the pursuit of power and revenge.:

My Thoughts...


What a story that will definitely takes one on a quite a journey that comes together so well as a good  'Native American' historical paranormal romance story.  This author really works her magic in giving the reader as story of Ahyoka and Kajika which their destiny that brought them together. We find Kajika is a alpha warrior who found Ahyoka who was a 'Spirit Talker' while he was on the hunt of a killer of his cousin and family. These two were very for the most part opposites but made up for it as they complimented each other in others ways. I liked how this author brings out the 'spiritual magic' to the story.  Will these two be able to track down a murderous beast to stop it from more killings? What these two could do together was truly unique in the way it was all handled. This will be quite interesting read as it is brought out so well to the reader.  It was a very good read of how these two people who comes together battling 'unforeseen forces' and oh yes I loved the lusty, steamy, and spicy heated romance.  To get the whole story and answer to many questions the reader will have to pick up 'When Ash Remains' to see how well this author presents it to the readers.  Would I recommend?
Yes, especially if you are a paranormal book lover.

My Thoughts....


This 'Native American' story was very well written with some very interesting characters that will definitely keep your attention and what a read about Lena Cedar Woman Young Bear.  This author really presents to the reader a descriptive story that will cover the 'cultures, ceremonies as well as their honor of mother earth' of the Lakota Sioux.  This was a beautiful story of how they practiced 'patience, love of nature and honesty' being portrayed, to beautiful scenes such as the dances along with joys to even heartache. I loved the beginning of each chapter how it gave such a wonderful read of what the chapter held for the reader as well as at the end of the novel the reader will be get some wonderful recipes that were mentioned in the novel.  This is definitely a enjoyable as well as informative read that the reader can learn so much of the the Sioux's culture.  In the end the reader gets quite a touching wonderful story.
