This second novel by Pam Crooks was a fabulous book! I read it in about a day. The heroine-a half white, half gypsy, Liza is a stong character whose faced adversity in her life but doesn't let it get her down-she always lived as Romany before the fateful day she comes to town to sell baskets, and her adventure begins there.

The hero is a self made railroad man, Reese-a friendly workaholic who is about to pop the question to the "perfect" but cold Rebecca Ann, before he meets the "imperfect" but loving Liza. The way the story is written from Liza's "fish out of water" perspective is fun and fresh.

Lot's of gypsy/Romany lore and tidbits-whether they are historically accurate, I don't know but they make the book very interesting. The books sidebar of overcoming prejudice is well done and the secondary characters are as well. The romance scenes are slightly sensual but not over done for those who don't do racy reads. The beautiful cover art by John Ennis is icing on the cake!

I'm looking forward to more from this author-5 stars!

OK, I'm just thrilled to see this author offering so many of her novels on Kindle. Very exciting.

Like her other novels (especially Broken Blossoms), Lady Gypsy is completely historically accurate (like another reviewer supposed), which I very much appreciate (I'm a history buff). Liza--she's just the best lead character ever. I totally fell in love with her. She's funny and smart, but so vulnerable. She'll make you laugh and cry. And she's so beautiful!

And Reese. Reese! You'll fall in love with him, too. He's a self-made millionaire (railroad man). And...well, I won't give away any more of the story.

It's a wonderful read, very interesting and totally engrossing. Five stars from me.

Lady Gypsy will steal your heart with charm, honor, turmoil, wit, and strong love. Pam Crooks is a talented writer whose time has come.
