From Publishers Weekly
Lindsey's ( Defy Not the Heart ) latest is an exercise in formula writing, with no more passion than a stack of index cards. The story pairs a quintessential Lindsey heroine and hero, but the sparks don't fly. Jocelyn Fleming, a young English widow traveling across the U.S. to escape a murderous detective, and Colt Thunder, a half-Cheyenne drifter with an implacable hatred of white women, never quite become convincing characters. The plot, obstacle-heavy and motivation-thin, fails the duo and never tests the mettle Lindsey clearly intends each principal to have. Neither narrative nor romance is sufficiently robust to sustain the long, long trek through the still-wild West. Diehard Lindsey fans will probably enjoy going through the motions with Jocelyn and Colt, as even this weak showing is characteristically stylish, but the bestselling romancer won't win new admirers.

*SPOILERS BELOW*Savage Thunder takes the genre of the captivity narrative and interprets it in a whole new way. The heroine Jocelyn Fleming is a widowed duchess who has spent the past three years running from man who was hired to kill her. After her carriage is attacked in the untamed Western desert, Jocelyn is rescued by Colt Thunder, a handsome half Cheyenne half white man who is distrustful of all white women. Jocelyn is immediately attracted to Colt and decides to hire him as her guide. Colt tries to keep his distance from the duchess, but discovers that there are some things, such as attraction, that can over power his will of steel. Despite likeable characters and it’s dealing with some larger issues such as being biracial, my overall reaction to Savage Thunder was lukewarm.Despite addressing what it meant to be biracial in the 19th century, Lindsey’s novel is filled with subtle racism. Almost all of the characteristics that Jocelyn finds attractive about Colt are traits stereotypically associated with Native Americans: handsome, dark, and strong.However, I found that it was the ending that really cemented my lukewarm reaction towards the book. Although satisfactory plot wise, the characterization of Colt felt all wrong. Colt presented many sides to himself throughout the novel: surly, bitter, protective, seductive, etc. But the one thing he never was is flirty; and that is exactly how he acts at the end. While questioning why Colt’s characterization felt so unnatural, I realized that this was the first time Jocelyn and Colt’s relationship was about anything more than attraction. While you could claim that Colt admired Jocelyn’s determination, and that Jocelyn also appreciated the non-physical qualities that came with Colt’s “strangeness,†they really do not know anything about each other. In many ways the ending shed light onto the other issues found within the book, while also dismissing the few good topics it touched upon. That being said, I do not believe that Savage Thunder is a bad book. It was fairly enjoyable to read, and it was not until the end that I found much to fault the novel with.
Warning ***SPOILERS BELOW***Savage Thunder depicts a tale set in 1881, in the Wild West of the United States. We first meet Colt Thunder, a half-blooded Cheyenne Warrior that’s as mysterious as he is broodingly handsome (according to the narrator). With an easily understood mistrust and dislike for White people, due to his brutal beating by one, Colt is traveling the West in search of his younger brother. However in finding him, he also finds Duchess Jocelyn Fleming. A young, innocent, and beautiful, white, widow traveling the world in escape from an unknown villain attempting to kill her at every turn. Though Jocelyn is a widow, she is still a virgin due to her and her husband’s uncanny circumstances before he died. In order to avoid sullying her late husband’s name, the Duchess is determined to find someone to rid her of her virginity as soon as possible. Enter Colt. After saving her once, Jocelyn is immediately enamored with Colt, and after some time, he finally agrees to be her guide across the country. However, Colt can’t deny his attraction to her, and believes that she could never feel the same way about him, so he attempts to isolate himself from Jocelyn. This self-control is broken when Colt and the Duchess are out together alone; he becomes enraged with himself and the fact that he can’t be near Jocelyn without wanting her, and further, that he is hung up on a white woman. In an act of self preservation, and what he sees as protecting the Duchess, Colt attempts to scare Jocelyn into firing him by raping her. Though this does not change Jocelyn’s mind, and sometime later they end up having more consensual sex. This brings on another slew of issues: a kidnapping, sex on a horse, another kidnapping, and more ignoring of each other. Finally on the last page of the book Colt realizes that he can’t live without Jocelyn, and she him, and arrives just in time to shoot her nemesis between the eyes and profess his love to live happily ever after.In Johanna Lindsey’s Savage Thunder most readers experience an escape like no other; however, my most recent experience with the text was slightly different. While I felt arguably the same draw that many readers succumb to, the novel was laden with elements that I fundamentally disagreed with. It does its job as your average captivity novel, following the standard formula almost to a tee. Though there were few redeeming pages, major themes such as racism, violence against women, and women’s oppression overpowered any positive ideologies that I could find within the book.
What a load of stupidity and tedium! An English Duchess and Countess are tra-la-laing through the American west in a teal carriage with an entourage of every stereotypical foreigner type as servants along with her prize breeding horses "trying" to hide from her cousin-in-law's minion who (shockingly) can keep finding her. She's been doing this outlandish malarkey soon after the death of her impotent older husband and has for 3 years being looking for the proper candidate to relieve her of her virginity (so that no one would know about said hubby's impotence). When Jocelyn clapped eyes on Colt she immediately knows he's the one. Conversation are maddening. There is too much mental meandering. This ridiculous entourage ends up in Tombstone just at the right time for the reader to get a detailed history lesson. I should have quit reading right there but I kept going. Colt had some serious sexy potential and I guess I was holding out hope that he'd actually BE in the story. Sadly any opportunity to make this an even passable romance was absolutely squandered. I'm astonished it got 4 and 5 stars.
