Print size is very important to me .

I love Johanna Lindsey books . I ordered large print, but I did not get large print . What do I need to do to get all large print books ?

I'd give it 10 stars, if I could

"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.

Sequel to Brave the Wild Wind

Jesse Summer's half-brother White Thunder is half-Cheyenne. At his mother's request, he has cut his hair and is living as a white man. But when Jesse's neighbor discovers the truth, he beats Thunder nearly killing him because Thunder has been dating his white daughter. Thunder survives, but swears to never trust a white woman again. Years later, he stumbles upon a widowed English Duchess. Jocelyn Fleming has inherited her late husband's fortune, but his other living relative is having her hunted down so he might take her inheritance. After Thunder saves Jocelyn's life, she begs for his help and offers him a fortune to serve as her guide. But Thunder doesn't want the job. A Cheyenne brave doesn't lose control and Jocelyn is causing him to do just that.Johanna Lindsey writes of the old west with adventure, danger, intrigue, and wild romance. Thunder is savage, but gentle and caring. Jocelyn is warm and very likable. Together they are magnificent. And the horseriding scene! I won't get that scene out of my head anytime soon!

A Keeper

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.

Captivating, sexy and funny

This is my favorite book of Johanna Lindsey's. I've read it three times and still love it. Colt Thuunder is a true hero and Jocelyn's character is funny even though she is a duchess. The love scene between them is very steamy and sexy and well-written. And the plot had me guessing until the very end. This is a must read for any fan of romance.
