First Love, Wild Love

First Love, Wild Love is not to be missed! Texas, 1878 Calinda Braxton was an American born, England raised beauty seeking to get her life started. During the civil war, her father sent her to relatives in England until he could get his life settled on a ranch in the Texas wilderness and send for her to join him. Through the years, his letters became less frequent and less promising until they stopped completely. She needed to know why, so as soon as she reached of age, she set out to find her father. All she had was a few dollars, a few clothes and a portrait locket of her parents. As soon as she arrived in Texas, she was robbed of all her possessions, including the beloved locket. Destitute, she found solace in a brothel and a handsome rugged, gunslinging stranger in her bed. Incited from sleep by his tenderness, she surrendered to a night of passion. She never dreamed this unknown man was a revered Texas Ranger on a secret mission who had connections to her past and future. This is a very enjoyable read! Don't pass it up!

This was also my first adult historical romance, back in 1989. I loved this book. It was so full of adventure and well developed characters. Like Lia below, this book hooked me fish, line, and sinker. I love reading Janelle Taylor's historical romances, but I wish she was writing more historicals still, rather than contemporaries. She's a really gifted Western and Indian romance writer. Thank goodness, I picked this book up 13 years ago. It introduced me to a whole new genre and hours upon hours of reading pleasure.

I usually stay away from historical romance novels. While traveling, I picked up this book and I was pleasantly surprised that this book was definately worth buying. It is suspensful all to the end. Read it. I think you'll like it.

This was the first romance book I ever read and it hooked me fish, line and sinker to Romance novels. Everything you could want in a romance novel is here. This book takes you on an exciting ride from start to finish!
