This review is from: Lord of the High Lonesome (Americana) (Paperback)

Kit Bonner runs the Flying Eagle Ranch for her grandfather who is getting on in years and has never really recovered from the death of his wife. Generations of Bonners have run the ranch for the absent owner, an English Baron. Now the current Baron, Reese Talbot, has come to look over the ranch and clashes with Kit right from the start. Kit, who dresses, talks, and acts like a man is extremely hostile toward the charming Reese, though he can't quite figure out why.

Kit is hiding a secret which is the cause of her attitude towards life and Reese and, although they are attracted to each other, Kit finally succeeds in driving Reese away. Having got her wish, Kit comes to regret her decisons and starts to grow up a little and overcome the bitterness of her past. When Reese finally shows up a while later (as you knew he would) there is a entirely new Kit waiting for him.

A charming story that somehow worked despite the almost feudal theme that would have been more natural in a historic rather than modern setting. Taking place in an isolated small town somehow made it more believable. At times I wanted to shake Kit for her childishness but seeing Kit learn to love and find happiness with good-guy Reese was just an awshucks feel-good ending.
