I've been reading Lindsey books for at least 20 years. I own every book she has out and wait with baited breath for each new one. I must admit that this book is one of my top 3 favorite books EVER! In fact, I've had to replace the book twice since my initial purchase. I can't count the number of times I've read it and continue to do so. I would definitely (and have, often) recommend this book!

This is the 2nd book in a 3 book series. First was Brave the Wild Wind which I liked but I absolutely LOVED this book. Colt was just so exciting to read about & man oh man my heart sure went out to him at the beginning of this book. Poor thing (although he wouldn't like me thinking this...LOL!). The storyline was so good & there was never a dull moment. The romance was awesome & so very hot. I highly recommend this book & this series. Can't wait for #3, which is titled Angel.

GRRRRRR.....OWL ......
I loved this book after picking it up and reading the first chapter I knew that I wasn't going to be able to put it down *sigh* I didn't want it to end .
I was lost at first not knowing that Savage Thunder was a sequel in a trilogy , But this book was indeed a page turner in its own right It didn't bother me that I felt like was missing something because Colt Thunder had a flare that kept me enthralled with this story . He was a Hero in my eyes he earned that much in the very first chapter when he was being whipped I might add it broke my heart reading that . Jocelyn Fleming was a Duchess by name but not attitude she had a way about her that kept me entertained . I loved the very first meeting between Colt and Jocelyn they played well off of each other. The sheer turmoil and angry outbursts mixed with the undeniable lust that Colt felt while in her presence was extremely masculine I could feel the heat as his heart yearned for her and yet denying her in the same breath
I could sense from the very first meeting that Jocelyn wanted him not for a one time lover as she stated over and again but for something else.' a husband maybe? Stubborn pride plays havoc on ones soul.
The timeline was great the old west with "showdowns" in the dusty streets .,priceless What was that movie ?? You know with the Earp brothers and the Clanton gang?? Oh yeah Tombstone HAHA I loved that movie and I loved how they were written into this book made it seem like I was watching my all time favorite movie again.
The Englishman who was chasing her around the world at first just to kidnap her then to kill because she was lucky in faltering his plans he didn't really seem like a villain to me more like a bubbling idiot but never the less it made for an adventure in the wild mountain terrain of the Midwest
Defentlly read this book I won't say that you have to read the first book in the trilogy it might help though but you might find as I did that Savage Thunder is a book in its own worth the time and the embarrassment when you yell at Colt & Jocelyn for their stubbornness in a public room...

Savage Thunder is the story of an English dowager duchess who comes to America to open a stud farm. The heiress, Jocelyn, has inherited a good deal of her late husband's estate, and the enmity of his successor. The new duke is so determined to retrieve Jocelyn so that he can control her fortune, that he sends a man chasing after her to return her to England and his control. Jocelyn's pursuer, a man she calls John Longnose because of his success in catching her scent over the years, doesn't capture her before her 21st birthday, which effectively seals any hope the new duke has of gaining her fortune. He fires Longnose, but the tracked decides to pursue Jocelyn for the hit to his reputation. He has never before not completed a task, and capturing the errant duchess is an embarrassment he can't tolerate.

In one of Longnose's many attacks, Jocelyn is saved by Colt Thunder, a half-breed Cheyenne Indian who has had enough trouble with white women to last a lifetime. When Jocelyn tries to enlist Colt as her guide, he refuses repeatedly since he's in town on other business. However, when she agrees to pay him an exorbitant sum, he can't refuse any longer. He agrees to escort the duchess and her entourage to the wilds of Wyoming, and hopes that he can keep his hands off her until then...

Savage Thunder is the sequel to Brave the Wild Wind, the first book in Johanna Lindsey's Wyoming Territory series. It was an entertaining story, and best enjoyed shortly after reading the first book. Colt Thunder is the half-brother of Brave the Wild Wind's heroine, Jessie Blair. He comes forward as a masterful hero in Savage Thunder, one willing to do anything to protect what is his. By contrast, Jocelyn was likable enough, but there wasn't enough about her to stand out. The real enjoyment in this story is to be found in Colt's past, his rigid dependence on his heritage, and in watching the walls he's built up begin to crumble as he falls in love. Savage Thunder is classic Lindsey, and I can't wait to read the third and final book in this series, Angel.

Who wouldn't love this romance? Yowsas! This is a pretty steamy romance with some well developed characters. If you read Brave the Wild Wind first (also a fantastic read), read Savage Thunder, then also read Angel, you have read this whole trilogy. Well, it isn't actually a trilogy but they are all about the same group of people (like the Malory books). At this time Lindsey was at her best. The men in all three books were sizzling and the women were strong and dynamic. I highly recommend you buy all three and take a day or two off work to just indulge yourself!
