A Promise of Thunder

I've read this book many times. "A Promise of Thunder" is another great book from Connie Mason. It takes place in September, 1893 during the Cherokee land rush in Guthrie, Oklahoma. Grady "Thunder" Stryker and Storm Kennedy clash after a stray bullet in a gunfight hits Storm's husband. Storm loses her claim to Grady, and he gives her an offer she can't refuse. To keep her land, she has to marry him and take care of his motherless son from his first marriage. She grudgingly agreed only to fall in love with him. But there's an obstacle... the sister of his dead first wife has come to deliver his son to him and plans to stay and get between Storm and Grady. The love Grady and Storm have won't allow it, and the need to separate the intruding woman from their relationship (and the budding relationship between Storm and Grady's son) leads all the way to Wyoming and Grady's parents' farm. This wonderful book is the sequel to "Beyond The Horizon", the story of Grady's parents, Swift Blade and Shannon Branigan.

When I started this book I just couldn't get into it, about the first chapter or a little more. Then it got into it Thunder is very passionate, this makes only the second one that I have read, I am now into Indian Romance and hooked. I have found out they are very passionate, and brings excitement to you. I would like to see the cover for the men to look more Indian like. But other than that it was great.

I really liked this book. It takes place in OK when the government offers free land to homesteaders. The year is 1906. I follows "Beyond the Horizon" the story of Grady's parents. I wish I had read that one first, and will be sure to look for it.
