After the Thunder

Rating:
Summary: Not to my liking
Review: I recently read "After The Thunder" by Genell Dellin. I really did not care for it. The characters you never really cared for. At the beginning, Cotannah was really a spoiled brat, who more or less used men, just for the excitement of doing so. The change in her was not believable or realistic. Walks With The Spirit was a flat character. I just never got into these two characters and did not really care what happened to them or if they got together or not. I pretty much continued reading, just to find out who actually killed Jacob and also, that I had read the two previous books in the trilogy. My opinion is that none of the books in this trilogy were anything special, I can't really remember much, if anything about the others. I would have to say the first book. "Red Sky Warrior" must have been the best of the three for me to continue on to "Silver Moon Song: and "After The Thunder". But like the other two, it will be just as forgettable. The only thing I may remember about "After The Thunder" is the awful cover art. It shows Cotannah on her knees hugging Walks-With-Spirits around the legs, as if begging him to do or not do something. This cover makes me cringe even now. It is covers like these that perpetuate the belief that romance novels are all bodice rippers, etc. Also, the male model used in this cover art as Walks-With-Spirit is the same male model from the previous novels, posing as Cade Chis-Ko and as Tay Nashoba. Different female models were used in the cover art of the three novels, couldn't three different men have been used as well?

Summary: Moving Native American romance
Review: In 1876 Texas, unrestrained Cotannah Chisk-Ko loves being the most desirable woman in town. However, her older brother Cade is not enamored with his sibling's undisciplined streak. The firing of one of his best vaqueros makes Cade realize that his beloved sister needs feminine discipline in her unruly life. He sends her to his Choctaw Nation relatives so that she can finally learn how to behave in the old fashion way of the Nation.

Cotannah hates her exile until she realizes that the Nation is loaded with virile hunks, particularly, Walks With Spirits. Her efforts to seduce the Shaman fails because he finds her too shallow. However, he admits to himself that he is very attracted to her. He rescues her when she applies her coquettish ways to the wrong person, but his intercession leads to Walks With Spirits being accused of murder. Cotannah knows that her flirting has led to her soulmate's life being in jeopardy. She is determined to do anything to free him so that they can share a lifetime of love together.

AFTER THE THUNDER proves once again that no one does Native American romances quite as good as Genell Dellin does. The third novel of her widely acclaimed "Choctaw" trilogy is as exciting as the first two tales. The lead characters are intriguing, especially the role reversal of the female seeking redemption in the love of a good man. This reviewer strongly recommends fans of western or Native American romances read the entire Choctaw collection because they are some of the best romances starring Native Americans.
