I discovered Constance O'Banyon when I was 14 with the book Enchanted Ecstasy and I have been hooked since then. I wasn't much of a reader but with that first book that I picked up I have not stopped reading since. Lately, I have been bored with what has been available so I decided to pick up the tried and true Savage Autumn. This is the first book in a series of 4. I have read it about 10 times (or more) but each time I enjoy it even more.

This is the story about Joanna & Taggert James. They have been force to leave their home because of a ruthless uncle. Trying to get to their father they join a wagon train heading to Oregon. This is when the adventure begins. This is where Joanna meets for the first time Windhawk, the chief of the Blood Blackfoot tribe. You will be so amazed at what a large character he is. Tall dark and handsome. He is a fierce warrior and feared by many however his gentleness to Joanna is so endearing. Until Joanna leave him and he has to go after her. Windhawks fierceness then rears it's ugly head and you cannot help but tear up as he realizes what he has done.

This is a wonderful story and the begining of 3 more wonderful stories. Once you read this book you will want to read all of Constance O'Banyon's books. I have all of her books and treasure each one.

Joanna and her brother Tag are characters you will not be able to forget, they have to deal with an uncle and aunt who want there money so they decide to run away on the trail there met Windhawk a cheif of his tribe and Joanna and he fall in love, this book is full of adventure and romance, there is action, heartbreak and evil chartures that you will not forget!

Ok I liked this book but I didn't love it. I just can't like Windhawk. He is loving in parts but for the most part he is a very violent man with anger issues who can't accecpt when he is wrong. He always thinks the worst of Joanna and caused her to become temporarly blinded because of his anger issues. Much of the misunderstanding between him and Joanna could have been resolved quickly if he had just told her he didn't attack the wagon train instead of being angry with her for not trusting him. I loved Joanna and Tag. I thought they were the best characters in the book. All in all the book wasn't bad but its a one or two time read. nothing more.
