Reading the other enthusiastic reviews of this book makes me wonder whether we all actually read the same book. This was one of the worst books I have ever read. The writing is simply terrible and the plot laughable. As a mother, losing a child is incomprehensible. The heroine (and I use the term loosely), wavers between two extreme emotions throughout the entire novel - mediocre despair and extreme lust. Guess which one wins out the most? I know it's supposed to be a romance novel, but really? You've just lost your child but you spend most of your time thinking about getting underneath the hero's loin cloth? And then, the hero (an American Indian) and his entire village just happen to speak perfect English. The last negative I have to mention is the abundance of exclamation marks in this book. The characters can't seem to think or speak without getting very excited! And it is irritating! A waste of money and space on my Kindle.

I loved this book. It was the first Cassie Edwards book I have ever read. I was captivated from the beginning to the end and I finished it within a day. I thought the love story was very believable and loved how she made the two characters realize their love much earlier on than most novels. It left much more room for expansion and I really enjoyed it.

i loved the book, everytime i had to stop i couldn't wait to get back to it,my husband also got into lisnening, cassey edwards has always been a favorite of mine

Savage Skies is, in my opinion the best one Cassie's written yet. It is full of intrigue and mystery. It's story line is a bit different than her other books, of which I enjoy all. I highly recommend reading this one.

If you've ever read any of Cassie's books, this is up there as another page turner. Loved it.

In 1851 Wyoming Territory, Chief Grey Eyes of the White Owl Assiniboine tribe asks his friend Chief Blue Thunder of the Wind Band of the Assiniboine for help. Comanche raiders attacked his tribe, already decimated by smallpox, abducing warriors and horses; he wants them back but need his friend's warriors to help. Reluctantly Blue Thunder agrees.

Shirleen has had enough of her abusive husband, as she fears for their four year old daughter, apparently taken by her spouse. However, before she cans escape with her child, Comanches raid their homestead. They take her, but fail to take her child. Chiefs Blue Thunder and Grey Eyes and their warriors attack the Comanche rescuing Shirleen. As Blue Thunder and Shirleen search for her daughter before she is harmed, the chief and the wife fall in love.

As always the amazing Cassie Edwards uses the same plot device of a noble male Indian, a caring tolerant to all people white female, and an abusive white male to provide her fans with a wonderful historical romance. The well written story line enables readers to see the ravages on the Indians by diseases like smallpox brought by the whites. SAVAGE SKIES showcases why Ms. Edwards remains a long time sub-genre favorite as she writes her one hundredth novel, mostly Indian romances.
