Thunder Kindle Edition

by Dylan James (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars 56 ratings
Grant Peters is sixteen and wants nothing more than to just compete in calf roping at rodeos and keep winning gold. But there are two obstacles in his path.

The first is Logan Summers, also sixteen, and also into calf roping. Logan is Grant's only real competition and every time Logan wins, he gives Grant a smug little smirk that sets Grant's blood boiling. Deep inside, though, Grant knows that his hostility toward Logan is about more than that smirk; it's about feelings he's not ready to acknowledge.

The second is Grant's parents being close to selling the family ranch and moving to the city, away from rodeo, and away from his horse, Thunder.

So when Grant discovers evidence of a deadly cougar stalking the ranch, he decides to take it upon himself to hunt down what would undoubtedly kill the little business his family has left if word got out. Of course, as soon as he sets off into the woods, he runs into Logan, who is undertaking the same hunt to save his own family's ranch.

Now, these two teenage rodeo nemeses have to overcome their hatred for each other and their uncertainty about themselves if they have any hope of coming together to save their families' businesses.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Quite enjoyable.

    I really enjoyed this read. I almost didn't choose it as the cover looked a little (?) not sure the word - the fellow on the cover is handsome enough and all that - for some reason it just made me skeptical of the quality of the writing. But it is a well told story with great nice twists and turns - likeable characters (though at a couple points our heros seemed a little dense in figuring out what was going on, but perhaps that is more about trying to appeal to a younger reading audience who might not be as quick on the uptake. Even so – it would have worked a little better if they were not quite so wide eyed about certain happenings).

    But that said, the book has well developed characters, a well paced plot with regard to tension and the emotional journeys. Excellent storytelling. My only real critique is not really a critique – I wish it had gone on a little longer as I was enjoying the characters journey a lot and wanted more.

    Wholesome without losing any of its romance. Well done.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2019
    Not every adventure announces itself ahead of time.

    Grant was a well developed main character. He was kind and intelligent. Even better than that, one of his biggest flaws had to do with how he handled emergencies. He preferred to fix things himself instead of asking for help even in situations that really could have used extra people working on them. Seeing how this flaw impacted the course of his story only made me like him more. There was something very relatable about someone who struggled with something that was hard to overcome and that had a serious impact on his life. Grant felt real to me, and I always get excited when I meet characters who fit that criteria.

    As much as I liked Logan, I found it confusing to have two narrators. His persona was so similar to Grant’s that I had trouble telling them apart. The fact that some scenes switched between them without clearly letting the audience know that was happening only added to my confusion. He would have made an equally good sole protagonist, but I think this story would have worked better if only one of them had explained what was happening in it.

    The romance unfolded nice and slowly in this tale. I always appreciate slow-burning relationships, especially for characters like these that had a lot of other stuff on their plates when the audience first met them. It made perfect sense for them to focus on more pressing matters before spending much time thinking about their love lives.

    I’d recommend Thunder to anyone who loves horses or nature.

    Written by an amateur with little experience or skill. I'm surprised a publisher put it in print. The author switches without warning between the first person account of the main character and a third-person account from the point of view of another main character. Very confusing to read. The plot is poorly conceived and improbable. He starts each of the early chapters with a recap of the story, as if each chapter was being released a month apart and the reader needed a reminder. Lots of unnecessary duplication. Find a better book to read.

    Thunder is a fun adventure that culminates, eventually, in the mutual admiration and love of two boys. Finding one’s true self and admitting it to the world is just a bonus as the two draw on each other’s strengths. It’s a nice slow burn watching the tender spark into flame. Love this book with it’s sharp shooting sister, an intelligent horse and happy ending.
