It follows her everywhere she goes...creating a world where anything is possible. She's been married to the same wonderful man for over thirty years. Her secret to a long marriage?

I REALLY LOVED THIS SERIES. I LOVE TIME TRAVEL ROMANCES. I THOUGHT RAVE WAS REALLY HOT AND GORGEOUS AND HE WAS PERFECT FOR NICOLE. THE AUTHOR HAS ALOT OF SECONDARY CHARACTERS THROUGHOUT THE STORY I REALLY LIKE. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR EACH OF THEIR STORIES. I HAVE TO SAY THAT RAVE AND NICOLE ARE MY FAVORITE COUPLE NEXT TO SAM AND JOE. RAVE AND NICOLE'S LOVE RUNS SO DEEP AND THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO BE TOGETHER. THEY FACE MANY OBSTACLES BUT IN THE END THEIR LOVE WINS. IT WAS NICE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE CHARACTERS AND WHERE THEY ENDED UP.
THE SPIRIT PATH SERIES IS A MUST READ FOR ANY ROMANTICS OUT THERE. IT IS FILLED WITH A LOT OF ACTION, SUSPENSE, HISTORY AND TIME TRAVELING. THE CHARACTERS ARE SO BELIEVABLE AND REAL AND THE AUTHOR LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE. YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH RAVE AS I HAVE. HE IS SO HOT. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THE SERIES.

Nicole traveled back in time twice to the 1800s but now she and her sexy Sioux warrior live in the present day, 1997 Texas, and life couldn’t be better for them. Sure, Nicole is worried she’ll magically time travel again and possible leave behind her best friend Tracy and the love of her life, Flaming Arrow, who she now calls Rave after a funny incident in a grocery store, but she’s trying not to let that bother her. When she and Rave, along with Tracy and her husband Michael, go to a cabin for Memorial Day weekend, her happy life takes a turn for the worse.
Rave is wonderful and drool-worthy as always. Cody and his gang of bikers aren’t the kind of bad boys us female readers like to swoon over. They’re the real deal when it comes to being very nasty people. Nicole is spunky, smart and determined to survive her latest catastrophe. She even learns how to control her time travel power. I couldn’t have been happier for her. What an incredible gift to have!
I loved this book. It concludes Nicole and Flaming Arrow’s story and I’m going to miss them. All the loose ends are tied up, as far as I could tell, and I was very happy to see how everyone’s lives turned out in the epilogue which is 6 years later. This book will definitely make you smile.
5 Stars.

I couldn't put this book down! After a couple of frustrating non-starts (life happens) I finally sat down and read undisturbed. About 5 hours later, near midnight, I was reading the epilogue with a sense of deep satisfaction. What a gripping story! Author Tammy Tate developed her characters in such a way that I felt intensely connected. I could see myself as part of their inner circle, enjoying their company and sharing in the adventure and danger. I love stories that pull me in, and The Forbidden Path did not disappoint! You must read this one!

An outstanding time travel novel, the Spirit Path Book 3 is the final installment in the Forbidden Path series that follows modern-day Nicole and her 1812 Sioux warrior boyfriend Rave. I hated to see it end. This would make a terrific movie. Well-written characters, an exceptionally good storyline, and an interesting supporting cast make this book a great summer read. I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed this time-travel romance. I've never read one before, but I'll be reading more after this one. I love the Sioux warrior, Rave, who has been transported to modern day from the 1800s. You can't ask for a sexier leading man! The plot was captivating, the characters well developed, and the writing smooth and well-paced. I definitely recommend!

Great read
I love the characters and time travel liked that Rave and Nicole got married. Also that Sam and Joe got married to.

The Forbidden Path, book number three in the Spirit Path series, continues the story of romance writer Nicole. I have read all three and this is my favorite.
In Book One, Nicole goes horseback riding, not knowing that the events of the day will forever change her life. A deer leaps into the path and spooks her horse. Thrown off-balance, she falls off her horse, lands on a rock and gets knocked unconscious. When she comes to, Nicole finds she has traveled one hundred and eighty years back in time to the year 1812. She falls in love with a Sioux Warrior named Flaming Arrow, but her time with him is cut short when she returns to the present year of 1997.
In Book Two, with the help of the Sioux warrior's granddaughter, Nicole returns to 1812 and Flaming Arrow. And somehow she is able to bring him back to the present with her. Now the poor man has to adjust to her era.
At the beginning of Book Three, Flaming Arrow appears to be adjusting to the twentieth century with the help of Nicole's best friend Tracy and her husband Michael. He even has a job and drives a truck (without a license of course), and even a new name. In order to keep their time travel and his identity a secret, Nicole calls him Rave, short for Raven.
Life is good.
On Memorial Day weekend, the two couples head to the family “cabin” for a three-day vacation. On the way there, they stop for beverages at a convenience store. A man at the gas pumps warns them that the town near the cabin is having trouble with a motorcycle gang and they should be careful. But Michael and Tracy aren't worried. “We’ll get a bite, pick up some groceries, and then get back on the road,” she tells Nicole. But, no one smiles or talks at the restaurant, the lone waitress is rude and when she appears to get in a fight with a customer, no one seems to notice or care. Then eight leather-clad motorcycle riders saunter in like they own the place and the tension in the room accelerates. When Nicole and Tracy return from the restroom, a teenage girl whispers as she passes, "Leave here. Get as far away as you can..."
