Synopsis

An English royal melts the heart of a lonesome ranch girl in this Americana romance set in the Roughrider State from the New York Times bestselling author.

At twenty-one, Katherine "Kit" Bonner is the de facto manager of the Flying Eagle Ranch in the badlands of North Dakota. For three generations, the Bonners have tended the land and its cattle on behalf of its absentee owners—a family of English barons who seem to be more of a myth than anything else. So Kit is taken by surprise when the current baron, Reese Talbot, shows up announced. Deceived by his American accent, Kit mistakes Reese for a salesman and tries to send him packing. He, in turn, can't quite tell if the grimy, shapeless figure on horseback is a man or a woman.

But Kit is in for an even bigger surprise when she realizes that her madding, yet undeniably gorgeous, new boss is planning to stay at the ranch long-term. As Reese attempts to pierce Kit's tough exterior, he begins to win her grudging respect—and to thaw the ice surrounding her high lonesome heart.

The older cover betrays this story. It definitely was written in the 80s, and it reads that way. Brittle youthful (21 year old) female who stumbled upon (35 year old) dominating male who brings out the woman in her. Lots of old school devices used her, physical statue is a huge one--he constantly 'b......more

I liked this book. I was actually pulled into the setting a bit and could almost imagine a taste of the west (I am trying to be real grownup and not just...go west, irl). Of course the characters are a little clichéd, but there was a twist that I didn't see and although the hero pissed me off a bit......more

This story was one of two in a Happy Holidays book, but to say this is a Christmas story is very misleading. The book is well-written, engaging, and emotional, and well worth reading…just not for Christmas.......more

Janet Dailey per me è una conferma quando si tratta di Harmony old style. Anche se non sempre mi sono piaciute le sue storie, riesce a tratteggiare i suoi personaggi in modo che o li ami o li odi da subito, le descrizioni dei paesaggi sembrano cartoline e le emozioni arrivano senza la necessità di s......more

Goodreads review by Sandra on February 22, 2020

Inside the book: Kit was more shaken than she would admit. Especially to this man who'd just kissed her. "Admit it, Kit," Reese said. "That hard shellbof yours cracked. Maybe I should have peeled it away layer by layer." "Better men than you have tried." She turned to face him, regaining enough composur......more
