Description
Flame-haired Birdie Mae Dix has no idea what tomorrow will bring. Kidnapped by the Pawnee and traded to the Comanche, she is now in the custody of the US Cavalry. After eighteen years of loss and cruelty, she trusts no one, not even the handsome captain whose piercing blue glare fills her with apprehension…and unwanted desire.
Years of war have hardened Captain Ford Thackery. Pledging his life to a military career, he has sworn never to consider married life—until he rescues Birdie. He knows he must earn her trust as well as find a way into her heart.
When she is abducted by a renegade Pawnee cavalry scout, Ford embarks on a dangerous journey of rescue, but he and Birdie must still bridge the gaping chasm of hatred that separates their worlds.

Bitter Autumn is a well written, captivating story. It deals with a subject few broach, the elimination of the native americans as viewed by some captive women. I felt the pain, suffering, longing for safety and the strength of these women were palpable. Birdie is only 23 but has lived with the natives since she was 5. Now in the custody of the U.S. Army, she can't even remember her English language. These women get very little sympathy from the whites at the Fort. The story is her journey back from captivity and her romance with a cavalry officer. I won't spoil it here for you, but the characters are so well written, you will find it hard to put this down till you get to the end.

3.5 stars. Average read; nothing really stood out in the book. It was too convienent; with everthing being neatly tied up at the end.

This was a type of book that l had never read and l was not disappointed in it. There was excitement, fear and happiness for me to enjoy. The characters were brave and interesting. This book kept me wanting to find out what happened to Birdie Mae and l thoroughly enjoyed it.

This was a story about women being kidnapped and after many years of abuse are found wandering, starving, basically left for dead.
The place is Montana, the year 1877. The U.S. Cavalry found them and are trying to figure out what to do with them.
In this book you’ll find heartache, hope and romance. It was written fairly well but I wanted some parts a little more developed.
Thanks to Wild Rose Press via Netgalley. I’m voluntarily leaving my review.
