Summary: Very disappointing
Review: Although I am very sympathetic to the fact that Europeans "stole" this country from Native Americans, this social commentary about the heartless "white man" really got to me. It's very rare when I put a book down without finishing it, but I did this one. I kept thinking it would get better, but unfortunately, it didn't.

Yes, I admit, a majority of the books I read are true romances so therefore I'm a bit predjudiced when I say I didn't like this book. Romance is not the main theme here. It is the struggle for Native Americans to receive recognition.

The chemistry between Heather and Kole (who the author can't decide whether to call Kole or Kola) is tepid. They fall in bed almost immediately and everything else is anticlimatic (sorry for the pun). He's got issues with his past, is on the run for a prison break and unfortunately Ms. Eagle gives him the type of dialog that puts you to sleep.

Thank goodness I just got this from the library. I'd hate to think I wasted money purchasing this book.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: You Never Can Tell
Review: As a long time reader of Kathleen Eagle's books, I was disappointed in this one. The plot was minimal, the love story was shallow, and the dialogue was silly a good bit of the time with too many puns and and double-entendres.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I've read and enjoyed all of Kathleen's books ...
Review: But this one was so boring, I couldn't even finish it! Both of the leads, Kole and especially Heather, seem superfically written. I was unable to "bond" with either one of them. Lots of allusions to big drama, but halfway through the book, still no interesting drama to be had. :(

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another wonderful book by Kathleen Eagle!!
Review: Fast-paced, yet deeply emotional, with an unforgettable, sexy hero, this was another book by Eagle that I just couldn't put down!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very well written
Review: Free lance reporter Heather Reardon finds Kole Kills Crow, known for defying the South Dakota National Guard, in a local bar in the Minnesota backwoods. The journalist searched for the recluse to hear his side of the story of what happened in prison after he was convicted of kidnapping during the Guard incident. Just before his sentence ended, Kole fled prison when another American Indian standing near him is killed. Kole and Heather talk with her explaining that she spoke with people from his past such as the actor Barry Wilson, Kole's former mentor. Barry left the cause for Hollywood, allowing Kole to take the rap for the South Dakota incident.

Though he says he is only a flute maker, she and a Native American reporter persuade Kole to lead a Native American rights March on Hollywood to provide a more accurate picture of the American Indian. Along the way, Kole and Heather fall in love even as other American Indians join the march and other people want Kole dead so their exploitation can continue.

Best-selling and award winning author Kathleen Eagle provides readers with an exciting ethnic romance that showcases the modern day American Indian. The story line is very exciting, but it is the charcaters, especially the lead duo who turn YOU NEVER CAN TELL into a classy reading experience. As usual Ms. Eagle demonstrates with this novel that you can tell why books like THE NIGHT REMEMBERS and THE LAST TRUE COWBOY are so popular with readers.

Summary: Wonderful read
Review: Heather Reardon is a writer on a mission. She is searching for Kole Kills Crow, a Lakota fugitive with a story to tell. Years ago, Kole was an activist for the Native American cause, trying to make things better for his people. But he dropped out of sight after the death of his wife and his escape from prison.

After Heather discovers Kole in a northern Minnesota bar, her life is forever changed. For she follows the hero of her dreams to his cabin where she begins to know him as the man shaped by the hardships he has endured. Heather and Kole embark on a cross-country journey to other reservations, gathering supporters for their journey to Hollywood, where they plan to make a stand against the bias of the entertainment industry against Native Americans.

Heather struggles to keep her personal attraction for Kole separate from her desire to write his story. And Kole tries to prevent an emotional attraction to Heather, a white woman who has put a dent in his hardened heart.

The banter between Heather and Kole is wonderful, ripe with innuendos and very quick-witted. Their relationship goes very deep, first beginning as purely physical, but gradually changing into an enduring ability to trust each other even in adverse circumstances. For a wonderful read proving that love can transcend anything, YOU NEVER CAN TELL can't be beat.

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: I absolutely LOVE Mrs. Eagles books! I have never found another author that captures a readers attention like Kathleen Eagle!

Her characters are always people that I wish I could meet in person. It's like she introduces you to friends of hers and they take you on a wonderful journey. I always cry at the end of the journey because it IS THE END.

Mrs. Eagle never ceases to amaze me with her creativity for storylines. Not only am I drawn to the drama but also the humor that makes my kids look at me funny because I laugh out loud when reading one of her books.

Most importantly, Mrs. Eagle always incorporates Indian issues into her stories that many people would never know about. In YOU NEVER CAN TELL, Mrs. Eagle covers a wide variety of issues that Indian people are trying to gain public attention to. In her own way, Mrs. Eagle is doing activist work just like Kola and Heather!

I also like the fact that all of Mrs. Eagle's heroines are strong and well-educated women!!!! And the fact that she doesn't put too much emphasis on physical appearences or sexual situations.

Mrs. Eagle is a TRUE storyteller!!! I highly recommend ANY and EVERY book by Kathleen Eagle!!!

Summary: As always, a great read from Kathleen
Review: I always look forward to Kathleen's books because she's one of the only authors of modern fiction whose style I really enjoy and whose settings I can relate to. My favorite book so far is The Last True Cowboy, but this is a worthwhile read too. Keep it up Kathleen!
