Book Review of Land of Dreams (Harlequin Historical, No 265)

Land of Dreams (Harlequin Historical, No 265)
TSarien avatar reviewed Nice rainy-day read on + 55 more book reviews


This is one of those little offerings that put you thru a rainy day. Set in the time of the Westward expantion, Thea Coulson is a product of her environs: She is too tall at a time when a woman had to be petite; she is too competent and self-assured, so everyone (including herself) believes her unmarriageable. Into this situation walks ex-major Booker Hayes, a veritable hero and one to those take-no-prisoners kind of guy. As usual, the third party is the objective one, so he sees everyone is taking advantage of Thea, so what does he do? Marry her! Then follow a charming series of misunderstandings and miscommunications typical of the times the novel is set on.
After all, sex-ed was unknown in the mid 1800's! ;-)
