Savage Skies

Written by Cassie Edwards

Narrated by Rebecca Cook

Shirleen has always been self-reliant and adventurous, but after dealing with a husband who beat her, the disappearance of her four-year-old daughter and kidnapping at the hands of the notorious Comanche renegade Big Nose, she's almost given up hope. When the most handsome man she's ever seen sweeps in to rescue her, she sees a man in whom she can finally put her trust. Her troubles might seem an overwhelming burden, but Chief Blue Thunder's broad shoulders are equal to the task. And his hard body promises to lift her on wings of pleasure and send her soaring amid-Savage Skies.

The entire book was great to listen to. It kept me up at night listening until I fell asleep. I will keep this book for my library. ?

I have to say I was a little underwhelmed. I'm used to loving Cassie's historical/Indian romances. This was good, but only just. The characters weren't exciting and didn't draw me into the story like usual. The writing was kind of bland and the plot was kind of stiff.Shirleen is a battered woman who had initially married her husband because she believed she loved him and that he would take her away from her boring home life. Nope. He was an evil bastard that beat her so frequently and badly that he left scars on her back. Years later, they have a child together and, with the fear that he will eventually being abusing their daughter as she grows older, Shirleen makes plans to runaway.The morning of her planned escape, their small community is attacked by a band of renegade Comanche. All all slaughtered save her. She is taken captive but is eventually rescued by Chief Blue Thunder who was searching for captive warriors belonging to a band that he is allied with. Long story short, they are hesitant, but fall in love quickly. He rescues her daughter, they marry. There's very little drama and no "damsel in distress" trope which is refreshing, yet I was kind of hoping for it.It wasn't bad, but it was kind of boring.

I enjoyed the whole book. It was a complete story, it didn’t leave me hanging trying to guess the ending. I would like more stories similar to this one. What a great story.

The narrator is fantastic, I first read this book as a teen and loved it, as an adult not so much
The narrator made me stay to the end
