set in Australia, in the 19th century, it was a tough place to settle and try and make a living and survive with droughts, crop failure, vast landscapes and little interaction with neighbours or friends (many of whom live miles and miles from your own homestead). This is my third book by Candice Proctor and it was another solid four star read. Despite her fears, Amanda gradually awakens to the shimmering heat of this wild primitive land, to the children she can't help but love, and to this magnificent man whose raw sensuality dares to expose her own undeniable passion. Amanda Davenport seems unprepared for the harshness of the place O'Reilly calls home, and yet he finds himself inexplicably drawn to this proud woman and the fire he knows exists beneath her refined exterior.Īccepting a job as governess is the only way Amanda can earn passage back to her beloved England and away from this land that she hates-rugged, uncivilized, intoxicating, like Patrick O'Reilly himself. The last thing he wants is the prim and proper Englishwoman who arrives to care for his unruly children. All he needs is his land, his work, and the company of the children he adores. Patrick O'Reilly loves life in the wilderness. In this, her third novel, the multitalented author of Night in Eden returns to the glorious setting of nineteenth-century Australia, to the ancient, primal vistas of the outback, to a land as untamed as a man's soul.
