Very good!

This was well written, although there were a few rare occasions I felt the writing a bit rough, but only rare and scarely noticable.

The story is about a white woman, (Ella/Little Brave) whose father was killed when she was 9 years old while travelling west. They were attacked by the Blackfeet Indians and Ella survived and was taken to the Blackfeet camp where she lived for 2 years before being traded to the Lakota Indians where she was taken in by their chief Grey Owl and raised by him as his adopted daughter.

She lived with the Lakota for ten years and during this time she forgot her white ways, including her native English tongue. In essence Little Brave became Lakota in everything except her appearance. (I did feel at 9, it was a stretch to forget one's ways and language, but I chalked it up to her trauma)

Beech is a half breed. His mother was Lakota and his father a french trapper. His mother died in childbirth when delivering his sister. His father left them in the care of their white aunt and Beech felt abandoned. Beech has the appearance of a Lakota while his sister takes on their fathers looks with pale skin and blonde hair.

It is when Beech, a skilled tracker is hired by the military to aid in the relocation of Little Brave's people to a reservation that they meet. Beech who not only speaks Lakota, but also knows the ways of these people acts as a mediator as well. He does not like his job, but needs the money to buy a stallion for his ranch. Beech also knows that the Lakota need to obey these relocation orders in order to survive the white army.

Much happens, and essentially Little Brave returns to Cheynne with Beech and he helps her locate her grandfather and try to assimilate into the white world.

The theme is one of two people who do not fit in either the white world nor the Indian world. They both struggle in finding themselvs and their place with society. They do fall in love and there is a HEA, but it is a painful journey to get there.

I realy like the story, it was refreshingly different. The author did a fantastic job of creating believable and lovable characters. What I loved most was seeing life through Little Braves eyes as she lived among the Lakota and then experienced the white mans world.

It was frustrating how Beech kept his feelings back to protect Little Brave. He knew that a white woman with an Indian would have an impossible life together. He felt it would be better for her to assimilate into the white world where she would have a better life. Or so he thought. In the end he realized the life would not be better and finally allowed himself to act on his feelings.

There is so much more not detailed in my summary. There is pain, courage, love, culture, history, racisim.. and of course a sweet and beautiful hero who I totally fell in love with. I also really loved Little Brave.

I lowered a star for the angst ( I guess that's what its called when the H&h struggle with their feelings). There was a bit too much. It also slowed a bit in parts, but not enough for me to skim.

There are 2 loving scenes which are beautiful and detailed. There is an attempted rape (not by the hero) and some mild violence.

The hero is experienced ( I know this because he thinks how he wants to show Little Braves all the ways to love) but is not a man whore. There is no mention of his past experience or OW at all. He only ever thinks that he never felt this way about a woman before.

Little Brave is a virgin, but during their first time, you would never know it. THANK GOD we have an author who FINALLY doesn't feel the need to have a virgin who is stupid about her body and the act.

I really loved this book. I will recommend it to friends, and read more by the author,

Ella Choice Spirited Hearts Series Book 1 edition by Ruby Merritt Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Two people straddling two worlds. Their understanding & acceptance of each other helping to bridge gaps those around them have no concept of. However, they have a myriad of deception & well meaning falsehoods to surmount.

I liked the stoic depiction of Little Brave AKA Ella Hastings. I admire the wisdom she recounts of her adoptive father as well as the skills and work ethic she learnt with the people. Her acceptance or dislike of people by their actions rather than skin colour endearing.

Our hero knows all too well of being an outcast and in keeping Little Brave at arms lenght he has become much like his estranged father.

I enjoyed this as the people though not always treated with respect from our H&h perspective there was much to be treasured & valued in their community.
I love historical and western romances, and this did not disappoint.

It had everything that I love it was clearly well-researched, yet not filled with lots of irrelevant details to show off the fact; the romance was not insta-love and grew; there was passion but it wasn't the only focus of the story; dialogue was genuine and believeable, as was the story-line; main characters had great depth and side-characters were interesting enough to want to get to know them in future books.

It was a wonderfully enticing read and I can't wait to start the rest of the series. Definitely recommend to anyone who likes romance, historical or western novels.
This the first book I've read from this author and was truly impressed with the realistic story line. Little Brave and Beech are attracted to each other but he is half Lakota while she is a white woman. Beech knows how white society will treat Little Brave or Ella Hastings if he acts on this. So he tries to set her free by taking her to his aunt & uncle until her grandfather can come for her. The story is truly unique in how the author takes a realistic approach to the relationship between not just Beech & Ella but also the attitudes of the 1870s in the West. Ella was taken at age 9 so spoke no English; Beech knew how hard the transition would be. He is torn between his growing love and what is best for her. Ella/Little Brave feels abandoned first when her white father is killed then her Lakota father is murdered. Now Beech also wants to leave her. I highly recommend this sweet, suspenseful and action packed story. Diamondgirl
Ruby Merritt's debut book, Ella's Choice, reflects her incredible talent for quality writing and engaging story telling. While the book is categorized as a western historical romance, Ella's Choice is ultimately a love story that transcends era or genre and it will appeal to readers of modern day romance.

Ella is a young woman caught between two worlds - born white and raised by the Sioux Plains People - she finds herself being reintegrated into white society. During this time, Ella's only connection to her happy and fulfilling life among the Plains People is Beech Richoux, a man with a Sioux mother and a white father, who made a similar transition as a young man.

Ella and Beech are drawn together by more than their histories. And they are pulled apart by the challenges that exist in their present. How will they overcome the internal and external barriers to find happiness?

I highly recommend Ella's Choice to anyone who loves an epic romantic story. Ruby Merritt is now an automatic one-click author for me.
