Summary: Tomboy versus Pretty Boy
Review: "Brave the Wild Wind" is the first in a trilogy set in the wilds of Wyoming. As a Lindsey historical romance, it doesn't disappoint on the passion factor. The hero and heroine have a love-hate relationship, but it's easy to see why they'd fall in love, and such a pleasure to watch them try to deny it.

Tough-as-nails Jessie is headstrong and has a fighting spirit that allows her to run a ranch by herself one minute and integrate with a renegade Cheyenne Indian band the next. Chase is the no-nonsense gambler whose devotion to his stepmother leads him into constant clashes with her daughter and ward, Jessie.

There's a lot of fun stuff in this book. First, the Indian scenes are a delight and include two fascinating characters: Jessie's closest friend White Thunder and the Sioux warrior Little Hawk. Jessie's mysterious illness is also engaging - how often do you see the heroine of a romance get obnoxiously sick all over the place? And Chase's little run-in with a robber brings to life a conflict over the ownership of Jessie's ranch. It is also nice to see the guy in danger for once, rather than the girl who needs rescuing!

More importantly, though, Chase and Jessie make a great couple. Their clashes energize the story and keep you reading all the way through.

The only real complaint I have is over what happened (or didn't) to Laton Bowdre. I also wasn't too fond of the last few chapters in Spain, but only because the situation with Rodrigo seemed a bit forced. However, these aren't enough to detract from the story, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

"Brave the Wild Wind" is a delight to read. Be sure to read its two sequels, "Savage Thunder" and "Angel," as well. "Savage Thunder" is my all-time favorite JL and the best of the trilogy, with White Thunder as the hot male lead.

Summary: One of Lindsey's best!!!
Review: Brave the Wild Wind is one of Lindsey's best in my opinion. It is dramatic, and their is a easy rhythm to the book that makes it almost impossible to put it down. Great work.

Review: I absolutely adore Johanna Lindsey, but must admit this almost beat captive bride to the "worse johanna lindsey" - however it is one of her first and every fan should read it even if just to appreciate the rest even more. what I want to know is where is the next malory? I have been waiting for Jeremy's story since we were introduced to him - what about his bet with Amy?

Summary: A must read for romance lovers
Review: I Have been reading Lindsey for many years now. I have read most of her books. My favorite will always be Hearts Aflame. I strongly urge others to read this book. It is full of rebellious passion and in the midst of a historical background. I introduced her books to many of my friends and relatives and they have been buying her novels since. A good wonderful feeling after reading a Lindsey. I assure you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: my favorite
Review: i have read several of JL books but this was the first-the one that got me hooked. I have re-read this one a hundred times! Yes Jesse is a spoiled brat but she is a very round character. the whole story makes me think of a romance story the way it should be written.

Rating: 5 stars
