Rating:  Summary: I'd give it 10 stars, if I could Review: "Savage Thunder" is my favorite Lindsey romance, hands down. From the gripping first chapter in which the hero, Colt Thunder, is almost whipped to death for being half-Cheyenne, to the many, many HOT love scenes, "Savage Thunder" is a wonderful story you just can't put down.I adore Colt, who is the best JL hero EVER! He is a moody, dangerous "breed" who struggles to control his desire for Jocelyn, a widowed English Duchess as fiery as her red hair. The pair has great chemistry together, whether it is in sizzling repartee or a tumble in bed (or, in some instances, on a horse). The storyline is also intriguing. Jocelyn is plagued by an assassin out to kill her, and this puts her in some interesting positions, including being kidnapped. We also get to meet "cold-blooded" Angel at this point, who gets his own story later on in the aptly titled Lindsey romance, "Angel." Whatever criticisms I have about "Savage Thunder" are minor. For one, Lindsey went into A LOT of detail describing extraneous scenes like the famous showdown in Tombstone with Wyatt Earp. She also brought in Billy from "Brave the Wild Wind" as the reason why Colt was in Arizona and, of course, literally runs into the Duchess. But Billy is forgotten after that (I wouldn't mind Billy getting his own story, by the way). I recommend "Savage Thunder" with a passion. It is the best Lindsey romance, in my opinion, followed only by "Once a Princess." However, before you read "Savage Thunder," read its awesome prequel, "Brave the Wild Wind," where Colt is still living with his Cheyenne tribe and is known as White Thunder. Then, after you read "Savage Thunder," be sure to read "Angel," which takes place just days after "Savage Thunder" ends.

Rating:  Summary: A Keeper Review: After having read thousands of romance books over the years, I still rate Savage Thunder as the best. Colt and Joselyn were made for each other. Their interplay is worth reading again and again. Is there any woman who reads this story who doesn't want to "soothe the savage beast"? Johanna Lindsey's books can vary in depth of story and characters. This the best of all of her books.
Rating:  Summary: Mother Review: Alert! "Brave the Wild Wind" is the before "Savage Thunder" and then "Angel" Great Book!
Rating:  Summary: White Thunder - Man of my dreams! Review: Colt and "Duchess" are two of my all time favorite characters in any romance novel. Being a fan of Native American men - Colt aka White Thunder had an instant appeal. Johanna Lindsey pulls the reader in from page one of this novel by creating an instant compassion for Colt. You root for him from page one until the end when the two finally overcome all the obsticles in their way. Jocelyn Fleming - his "Dutchess" is entertaining to say the least. The two together create a friction that is both engaing as well as exciting. This is a Johanna Lindsey fan MUST READ!
Rating:  Summary: Colt Thunder - man of your dreams Review: Colt Thunder is man enough for any woman, especially Jocelyn. He slings a gun, rides a stallion and defends his own. Action, tension, humour and main characters you truly feel for.
Rating:  Summary: Savage Thunder Review: HOT HOT HOT are the only words to describe this Johanna Linsey Romance. With Savage Thunder, the story of half-Cheyanne/half-white Colt (aka White Thunder) and rich widow Joscelynn Flemming, Ms. Lindsey is at her best. It seems Colt and Joscelynn are destined for each other, at a time when neither is prepared. He is wary of all white women, she is wary of everyone. Both have good reasons to be cautious, but the obsticles they overcome and their struggle to understand each other only serve to bring them closer together. This book is filled with action and suspence and of course steamy love scenes. Joscelynn and Colt give new meaning to the term "WILD West". However it was the realistc dialogue that did it for me. You realize that these people, although fictional, are from a very real time in America when Native Americans were treated as second class citizens. (Some argue they still are) All in All an excellent book. Very good escape reading with the primary love story not at all marred by the weighty social problems of the day. A good choice for both JL romance fans and Native American History buffs looking for a good "fantasy escape" alike. Five Stars *****!
Rating:  Summary: Beautiful! Review: I am a great fan of Johanna Lindsey. Every summer I buy 5 or more of her books to read. This book is a classic. I will never again look at a horse quite the same. At one point I thought the story might get lost in a jungle of unnecessary history, Heaven forbid. But Johanna provides a little history and lovin' that makes the whole thing very entertaining. BRAVO!
Rating:  Summary: Wow, better than some , still not the best. Review: I did like this book, I finished the book three days after I started it! I thought it was great. But.....I HATED the ending. If you read the book you will understand. I still don't get it. I can come up with half a dozen other endings and that says to me that she could have tried harder. It just left a bad taste. If you are looking for a truly unique book by this author, Please, go check out Warrior's Woman. I LOVED this book.
