Dawn of Love #2
Wild Prairie Sky
HOW COULD SHE FALL IN LOVE...
with a young man as wild as a mountain lion and as free as the prairie wind?
When 16-year old Betsy Monroe headed West on the wagon trail to Oregon, she thought she could face any danger. But savage Indians, raging rivers, and stampeding herds of buffalo seemed tame compared to her biggest challenge - Charlie Freeman, a free-spirited trail guide with an irresistible grin.
Charlie was handsome, bold, and fiercely arrogant. And though she fought to resist, Betsy was losing her heart to his brash and impetuous ways.
Knowing the man in golden buckskins could never be trusted, Betsy defied him at every turn. But when Charlie took her in his arms, she was pulled by a wild, sweet tide of feelings she had never known before....

It is safe to say that I won't be collecting anymore books from this series. I adore wagon trail stories, but Wild Prairie Sky was a dusty dud. The word savage was overused. I understand that's the word most people said, but in a modern book, I don't think it was necessary to put it in the dialogue so much.

This was the first romance book I ever read when I was about 14. I loved it and its stuck with me all these years. I'm desperate to find a mobi or epub copy so I can read it again.

If you love historical romances and romantic comedies, you will love this book. I return to it like an old friend again and again.

It was the first romance novel I ever read when I was in middle school and my young mind devoured it.

After their parents die of illness on the journey west, sixteen-year-old Betsy Monroe and her older sister Willa are left all alone on the Oregon Trail. Betsy is determined to fulfill their parents' last dream and complete the journey, and Willa, never the stronger one, agrees to go along with Betsy's decision. The sisters are found by Charlie Freeman, a handsome young trail guide. He wants them to turn back, convinced two young women on their own have no chance of making the journey. He reluctantly guides them to the nearest fort, where Betsy and Willa are able to join up with the very wagon train Charlie will be guiding to Oregon. Betsy begins to fall in love with Charlie, but a misunderstanding leads him to believe that she led him on, and has no feelings at all for him. I think readers who enjoy young adult historical romances would like this book, but it's unfortunately out of print - if you see it at the library or used bookstore, it's worth a read if you like the genre.
