"One of the best romantic suspense novels this reviewer has ever read. It deserved every one
of the five hearts, and then some. This is one of those books that you just have to read to
understand the depth and magnitude of the story.” — Janalee, LoveRomances.com
"CROSSING BURNING BRIDGES One Woman's Amazing Journey was thoroughly
enjoyable. Cyndie M. Styles mixes, compassion, humor, family backgrounds, family
obligations, and mystery into the plot with just the right increments to keep the reader turning
the pages and not wanting to put the book down. Her next book due out is titled Snakes in
Paha Sapa, Tale of a Lakota Nation." — Charlotte Mayo, Round Table Reviews
"The author's descriptions are complete and I got a sense of who the people were right away.
The second half surprised me but it all came together at the end that left me smiling and

and the first chapter to her next novel from her website, and am greatly looking forward to
the passionate storyline of the Lakota people in that historic fiction." — Amazon.com reviews

"In the mountains and skies beats a heart of one warrior. A Lakota warrior left to live without
his sacred lands and family. This is his story of despair, hope, love, and eventual discovery of
the true warrior/man left inside of him. Snakes in Paha Sapa is writing from the heart by
author Cyndie M. Styles. It is romantic, thought provoking, lovingly detailed, and extremely
well written. This reviewer found this novel to be profoundly refreshing and engaging to read!
The ending of this story marvelously completes this tale of love between a Lakota warrior and
a White woman, and how their lives play out." — Janalee, LoveRomances.com

"Snakes in Paha Sapa is a most impressive second novel. In terms of subject matter, it is much
different from Styles' earlier Crossing Burning Bridges, yet it retains the author's wonderfully
flowing writing style, truly proves her standing as a natural storyteller, and amplifies the
bedrock of very real emotions she manages to instill in virtually all of her characters. This is
also a very educational novel for those of us who have never really explored the plight of
Native Americans deprived of their land by a treacherous and sometimes exceedingly harsh
American government. With its formidable mix of historical fiction, Western, and romance,
Snakes in Paha Sapa makes for a wonderful, genre-crossing read." — Daniel Jolley,

"Another fabulous novel by Cyndie M. Styles! A well thought-out synopsis of how the Indians
were treated in the past and even in current day. It is the Indian's version of "Gone with the
Wind," where a fictional story surrounds a dark time in our history." — Amazon.com reviews
