In 1874 Bostonian Yvette Davidson travels west with her father by rail planning to start over in the Wyoming Territory. However, on the trek a savage kills her father and a terrible derailment accident leaves Yvette unconscious. Cheyenne Chieftain Cloud Walker finds and rescues the comatose blond with whom he surprisingly feels an immediate bond.

When Yvette awakens she fears being a prisoner of this powerful Indian who may have killed her dad. Still he fosters her with kindness, but she plans to escape because she does not want to learn what he has in mind for her. As he continues to nurture her, they fall in love, but both know that each of their respective peoples will frown on such a forbidden relationship. Will love prove strong enough to overcome his tribe's single women all wanting to be his wife and her race distrusting these savages?

Fans of Cassie Edwards will enjoy her umpteenth "Savage" novel starring two fine star-crossed lovers. The well written story line is typical Ms. Edwards (must have the copyright) as the lead couple fall in love at first sight though neither trusts the other and both know it is taboo in their respective societies more so in hers. Right out of her usual cast, Ms. Edwards' readers will enjoy her latest Indian romance.

I just couldn't seem to put this book down. There were times when I was so involved, that I was screaming at the book. At times, I just wanted to jump into the pages and go Native American warrior on the characters! Not only that, but the story line was fantastic!

I found the book in the corner of a used book store stuffed in under the seat of a couch! I'm truly glad that I found it!

Book is pleasant to read. A few points lacked realism (the instant sexaul tension, earth quakes in Wyoming that swallow houses whole), but once the reader puts that out of mind the story flows well. As predictable as most romance novels, but does have a couple of twists.

Picture a double sided cookie with the little bit of filling in between. This book is like that because the cookies makes up the bulk of the story with one side being a wealthy cattle owner and the other side being a wealth sheep farmer who hate each other. In between is the filling of what should have been the main story of a white woman and an Indian. In addition, the story line between these two, supposedly main character is rediculous, making the entire book foolish.

"Savage Trust" was a book that held my interest and I wanted to keep reading to find out what would happen next. The action kept building up to a dramatic climax, but you have to read the book to find out what this is. Cloud Walker, of the Lakota tribe, is the main character in the story. He is the chief of the tribe and the way that Ms. Edwards described him is wonderful. His caring and kindness and good mannerisms are unique. This book has some special background characters that shine out. There are scenes in this book that are sad, but right prevails over wrong in the end. The way that Cloud Walker and his woman speak to each other when they are alone are words that you can feel and the love they have for each other grows stronger each day. There is a villain who causes all kinds of trouble for the Lakota people and this is where the drama really gets heated up. The community life of the tribe's people was very enjoyable reading. This is a book that once you start reading it you wont want to put it down as it keeps your attention. I rate this book a 5, and it is one that I want to keep to read over again. The only thing that I didn't like about the book was the profanity, but when overlooked, it is a great book.

This is yet another great Native novel by Cassis Edwards. She knows how to bring a story to life.
