| American Wilderness Book 1 CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform 2014 |
Set in 1797, this romantic
adventure takes the reader on a thrilling journey into the “brave new world” of
the early American pioneers. Stephen Wylie has a thirst for land, and his
search for his dream lifestyle means uprooting his wife and children from their
home in New Hampshire, to travel into the wilderness of Kentucky. Their journey
is fraught with danger and Stephen and his lovely wife, Jane, must face untold
difficulties and heartbreak as they trek along the pioneer trail. However, it
is their overriding passion for each other which holds the family together and
which forms the basis of the story.
The book is professionally
finished to a very high standard, and the light and easy style of writing compliments
an engaging storyline. There is good attention to detail and the historical
setting appears appropriate for time and place. I knew very little about the
early American pioneers, but the author writes with authority about a period of
history with which she is familiar, and this certainly helps to make the
story an enjoyable and worthwhile read. The introduction of other major
characters lends itself very nicely to a continuation of the story in further
books, which I am sure will expand and develop the story of the Wylie family as
they settle into the unfamiliar territory of a new lifestyle.
The romantic and sensual cover
art depicts accurately that this story is primarily a romantic read; however,
there are enough thrills and spills in the narrative to satisfy those readers
who also like historical adventure. I have no hesitation in recommending Wilderness
Trail of Love as an enjoyable and exciting romantic adventure.
