I thought this was one of the better Jude Deveraux books that I've read. I like the social message and historical touches. Being a farm girl myself, I related to the setting. And the romance was very well drawn out.

Great read, just as all of J. Deveraux's books I've read so far!

Read it about 15 years ago... and thought it was the "most enlighting" of books. If I recall correctly, there are some very HOT passages in it.
Amanda Caulden led a sheltered life on her father\'s California ranch -- until the day Hank Montgomery stormed into town. A hot-blooded union organizer with a taste for ladies and fine champagne, he sensed the fire that smoldered beneath her prim, virtuous beauty...and he vowed to make her his.
Hank\'s assault on her orderly life made Amanda furious -- and all the more enticing. Slowly, he drew her into a world of sensuous pleasure: sumptuous meals and moonlit dances, carefree laughter and stolen kisses...gently stirring the sleeping embers of passion. But even as a fierce love rose between them, violent rebellion threatened to destroy the Caulden ranch -- and their lives!
