Book Description

31 July 2000
Bribed by Kyle, his twin brother, Dominic Renbourne agrees to take his twin's place for a few weeks at Warfield Manor, where he is to pay court to Lady Meriel Grahame, the orphaned heiress Kyle intends to marry. The last thing Dominic expects is to be entranced by a silent sprite whose ethereal beauty is as intoxicating as the flowers and trees that surround her.

For much of her life Meriel has lived outside normal society, finding joy and peace in her garden, safe from the nightmare that nearly destroyed her as a child. She is content with solitude until the handsome intruder begins to inspire dreams of life beyond her sanctuary. Despite his longing, Dominic's sense of duty keeps him away from his brother's future bride, but Meriel's untamed spirit proves more powerful than Dominic can resist . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the top 5 romances of the year 7 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
Their fathers arranged their betrothal when Meriel Grahame and Kyle Renbourne were little kids. However, neither adult could have anticipated the tragedy in India that left the then six-year old Meriel an orphan. Upon her return to England, her wealthy uncles agree that they will insure she lives a comfortable life even if she is insane.

Kyle persuades his estranged twin brother to help him with his fiance, Meriel. In exchange for some property, Dominc is to pretend he is Kyle and court Meriel. To Dominic's shock, he realizes that though she cannot speak, Meriel quite clearly communicates her wants and she wants him as her soul mate. He loves her too, but honor forbids he acts on her advances even if it leaves him loathing himself for the rest of his life.

THE WILD CHILD may be the historical romance of the year as Mary Jo Putney provides an enchanting tale that will captivate readers. The superb story line is a wonderful blending of point and counterpoints as the audience rides a magical tale from the beautiful garden of Meriel to the ugly madhouse. The lead characters are beautiful together as Meriel tries everything to seduce her beloved. Sub-genre fans will relish this tale and clamor for Kyle's story to be told ASAP.

4.0 out of 5 stars very nice 19 Aug 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A very good book without all the descriptive sex scenes which seem to be so necessary these days.A bit of imagine goes a long way. A lot of books I've read recently are just sex with a little bit of story.the older books are far more interesting.Authors take note

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Putney Triumph! 19 July 1999
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
It's always refreshing and satisfying to read Mary Jo Putney's intelligent characters and thoughtful stories, and this novel met all the high expectations I've developed as a longtime reader of her work. I particularly enjoyed the combination of traditional English country estate setting and the heroine's exotically mysterious memories of her early childhood in India. As usual, Putney infuses the romance novel with wonderfully crafted characters and rich emotional texture.
