Synopsis

The New Zealand wilderness is no place for an innocent young girl escaping an arranged marriage.... Shocked by the threat of being forced to marry an aging magistrate, Bliss Stafford flees her New Zealand home. But a chance encounter -- and the barrel of her father's pistol -- wed her to Jamie McKenna, a handsome, headstrong rancher whose bold touch inflamed her innocent senses. Yet Jamie's heart was captive to another -- and to a hidden, bitter sorrow. But young, courageous Bliss is determined to face the secrets of his past -- to claim the radiant prize of a lifetime of tomorrows. Passion, heartache, and the power of romance set New Zealand aflame with Angelfire in Linda Lael Miller's lush tale of a young woman audacious enough to settle for nothing less than love.

Bliss and Jamie's story. I'm sorry, I usually love Linda Lael Miller's books, but I really disliked this one. It was a chore to read. The most unlikeable FMC I have ever read. She was immature, impulsive, nasty, condescending, a chronic liar, a thief, she publicly accused the MMC of compromising her......more

This book sucked. Honestly I am surprised how bad it was. The story started off interesting enough, shotgun wedding. Lots of different places in New Zealand. But it totally devolved by the end. Heroine: extremely annoying. I know she is young at 19 but 12 year olds are more mature than her. Hero: he......more
