Lucy has quite an awakening as she travels from the sophistication of Boston society to the rugged and simplistic living of Texas. The story reads like a young woman’s journal as she experiences working and living a Texas life back in the 1800’s. Now Ambrose just needs to convince her that there is something more to him aside from his gruff exterior. She is a challenge in so many ways, but he sees right through the exterior to the woman and ranch wife beneath. When Lucy refuses his advances, it only fuels his need to have her. Love at first sight wasn’t expected either, but there it was all the same. It was never supposed to be a permanent situation or at least that’s what Lucy thought.Īmbrose Quince wasn’t exactly looking for a wife, but there she was having just arrived in town. Lucy’s father decides to take on a new life direction that will involve bringing his only child with him. She would flirt and dance her way through until she found a suitable match for a husband, but a trip out of town soured those ideas. Lucille “Lucy” McKenna only wanted to stay in Boston to keep living the life to which she had become accustomed, and of course attend the society functions that all proper young ladies of a certain age attend as part of their season.
I’m glad the author has quite a few more books I can read! I decided to read this again to refresh my memory and finished it in one sitting. I first read this a while ago and got to thinking about how I wanted to read the next book about Lucy and Ambrose. Of course, he could also be a thick headed idiot. I liked how he was so besotted with her and wasn’t embarrassed to treat her tenderly. In addition to the physical attraction, he is confident and very capable, things that would appeal to someone like Lucy (and me). I could definitely see why Lucy was drawn and attracted to him.
Ambrose is a super alpha who exudes raw sex appeal. I figured that she’d mature with age and more life experience, and she does. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! Although Lucy is spoiled and immature, it didn’t really bother me because she’s only 18 and had been cosseted her whole life. I’d never read anything by Gem Sivad so didn’t know what to expect. I came across this book one day and since I love historical western romances, I decided to give it a go.
