Prim And Improper (Harlequin Historical) [Paperback]

Liz Ireland (Author)

Book Description

Series: Harlequin Historical | Publication Date: March 1, 1998

Ty Saunders Was Nothing But A Big, Brawny Reprobate—And, Oh, Lordy, How She Wanted Him!

But that was impossible, Louise Livingston protested. She had her standards, after all…while he had a smile stolen from the devil himself. Still, she'd be darned if she'd give in to temptation!

There were few women in town like Louise Livingston. Heck, in this played-out mining town, there were practically no women, Ty admitted. But that didn't take away from the fact that Louise was a combustible mix of spitfire and saint. And he was just the man to start the fireworks!

4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful Western Romance..., November 15, 2001

This review is from: Prim And Improper (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)

Yeah, that's what I said. Liz Ireland is truly one-of-a-kind! This is the first book I read by her and the book just pulls you in. The masculine Tyrone Saunders and the Head-strong Louise Livingston make a perfect pair in this delightful book that takes place in the tiny mining town of Noisy Swallow, California. The plot is perfect, the conversations funny and to the point, and the characters unforgettable! This is one I am keeping! No smut and nasty language, but pure, wholesome love...It's really great!

Actually the story isn't simple, but what is simple is it is just plain funny, not to mention a good love store ...

4.0 out of 5 stars DELIGHTFUL IF EXASPERATING!, September 13, 2003

This review is from: Prim And Improper (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)

For a 23 year old miss who is trying her best to raise and settle her siblings she is more than nieve - sometimes I was thinking a delightful idiot.

In her innocent ignorance she has developed a predjudice against Saunders brothers. She is appaled that her sister, Sally would admit to falling in love a man of 30 years. Tyrone Saunders was way too old for 18 year old Sally. Humph!

Of course, sixteen year old Toby didn't help Louise Livingstone to understand the situation when he and Sally decided to lie to Louise.

Ty, who had settled down to run a ranch with his brother Caleb, who was 24 and a bit bashful but a thorough gentleman, continually ruffled Louise's feathers - especially emotionally.

Louise was determined to remain single, even in a town of mostly men until complications set in when Ty and she searched for the runaway Toby.

Ah but then, Niles Swaggart has been after Louise to become his wife and walked into a very lucrative situation due to Louise's foolishness.

Once again, Ty had to come to the rescue with a bit of a hilarious solution.

Love the cover and back but don't seriously think that the ladies dressed that way in 1852

Definitely recommended ? [I guess you would call it a bit of a slip]
