Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Can a British aristocrat and an American woman from Wyoming find happiness together in Edwardian England? Yes, but by the time readers get through Wright's overlong romance, with its improbable characters, they may no longer care. Shelby Matthews (daughter of the protagonists in Fireblossom ) travels to Cody, Wyo., to run the family's cattle ranch and promptly loses it in a poker game to Geoffrey Weston, a bored Earl. Not only is Geoffrey a skilled poker player (not exactly an Englishman's game) but he is also proves to be brilliant with a lasso. Shelby, on the other hand, comes across as an impulsive flake, even though she is supposed to be a Smith graduate and expert bookkeeper. When a convenient misunderstanding sends Geoffrey back to England and an arranged marriage, and Shelby joins Buffalo Bill's touring Wild West Show, the pace picks up somewhat. Historical details do add interest, and readers will applaud the fact that it is the heroine who bests the villain, but this is still pretty tired fare.

More About the Author

"Romance the way it was meant to be," raves Kathe Robin of Romantic Times Magazine about Cynthia Wright's 13 "classic" historical romances.
A reader says: "Her warm, adventurous, loving stories match Kathleen Woodiwiss in sensuality, but have a wholesome sweetness and zest all their own."

Cynthia Wright launched her career as a bestselling novelist with the publication of CAROLINE, when she was twenty-three. She went on to write 12 more beloved and acclaimed historical romances set in Colonial America, Regency England & America, Medieval England & France, and the American West. Seven of these, the intertwined Raveneau Novels and Beauvisage Novels, have special places on the keeper shelves of readers around the world.

Cynthia's novels have won many awards from Romantic Times and Affaire de Coeur, but her favorites are messages from readers like this one: "Your books show love the way you want your own relationship to be: real AND romantic!" After taking a break from writing for several years, Cynthia is excited to be back as an "indie" author, bringing all 13 of her novels back as eBooks (newly edited, with gorgeous new covers!). She will also release a new Raveneau novel, TEMPEST, in 2012.

Today, Cynthia lives in northern California with her husband, Alvaro, in a 1930's Spanish cottage. When they aren't riding their tandem road bike or traveling in their 1959 vintage airstream, she loves spending time with her family, especially her two young grandsons. Cynthia is also a college student who says, "It's never too late to re-write the story of your own life!"

3.0 out of 5 stars ok book, not the best, not the worst, April 8, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Wildblossom (Mass Market Paperback)
this book was good because i had nothing else to read and it kept me somewhat entertained. i've read worse. they were cute characters until three quarters of the way through the book but then Shelby seemed childish and Geoff was disgustingly sweet. i'm glad i read it and i will probably read more by Ms. Wright.
