Product Description
Product Description
Rosemary Rogers' romances are known for their breathtaking pace, wide ranging and exotic locales, violent passions and unforgettable characters. Heroine Rowena Dangerfield is sensual, headstrong and scandalously independent, the granddaughter of the governor of an Indian province under the British empire. After his death she travels to England and then to New Mexico, where she arrives in grand style to lay claim to her inheritance. There she discovers an affinity with the wild and untamed frontier and meets Lucas Cord, a devastatingly handsome half-Apache renegade, whose reputation as a feared outlaw both attracts and repels her. When he encounters the beautiful stranger, unlike any woman he's ever met before, he knows instantly that he'll have to win her for his own, and not even the treachery of desperate enemies is going to stop him...

Format:Paperback
Rosemary Rogers has done it again - an exciting passionate romance where a young innocent from a Spanish Convent has her life turned upside down. Love and adventure and intrigue from a Sultan's haram, an English court and the wilds of Louisiana. Marisa has a love hate relationship with her nemises Dominic Challenger a roving sea captain who does not know if he want to love Marisa or kill her. A very tempestuous romance and a great read.

ABSOLUTELY ADORED IT!
18 Feb 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I first read this book when I was sixteen. I am in my mid thirties now and have never forgotten either Rowena Dangerfield or Lucas Cord and I still have the book! The story is written differently to Sweet Savage Love-also by the same author- in that the scenes of intimacy between Lucas and Rowena are very brief and hardly described. As Ms Rogers has a particular skill for writing passionate scenes, i would have liked to have seen more intimacy between them and more focus on their relationship. That would be my only critisicm of this book , however the 5 stars are for totally captivating me and wanting the book to go on and on! The plot itself was brilliant and had you guessing until quite late in the book and there was a great twist at the end. I absolutely adored Lucas Cord-the hero- who aswell as being a traditionally strong silent type, was utterly endearing because of the vulnerable side to his character which he let Rowena see. I would absolutely love it if Miss Rogers would do a sequel to this because even after all these years I still find myself wanting to know more about them. As an absolute lover of Rosemary Rogers books I was really disappointed with the sequels to Sweet Savage Love as the two central characters just kept fighting and sleeping with other people. A sequel to The Wildest Heart would give her a chance to redeem herself! If anyone knows where I can write to Miss Rogers please let me know!

Wonderful book!
12 Sep 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This was a refreshing change from Rosemary Rogers Steve and Ginny stories and also from her other titles. Rowena comes to America hoping to meet her long lost father and to start a new life away from England and her shallow mother and stepfather. She arrives to find herself in the middle of a longstanding feud. Although, the heroine, Rowena, seems cold at first, you see her transforming into a warm human being during the course of the story as she learns more about the people and history of her new American home. Lucas, the hero is enigmatic, stoic and tragic and he is haunted by his past. Both characters have had less than ideal backgrounds prior to meeting and this colors their perceptions of people. This is a story of how hate and revenge can ruin lives but it is also a story of being open hearted and willing to listen to both sides of a story. The characters are colorful. Some are shallow while others are more hidden and complex. There is an element of suspense to the novel as the reader finds out what happened so long ago to initiate the feud. The ideas of duty and fate are touched on in this book but don't cast an overbearing shadow.

Truly Captivating
2 May 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The Wildest Heart was the first historical romance I ever read...and that was at fourteen. The characterization and story still capture my imagination today (I am in my mid-thirties). I enjoyed being introduced to Rowena and Lucas and viewing the struggles they went through, both together and individually. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to watch them grow emotionally and to watch them discover they were stronger than they realized. Rosemary Rogers' Wildest Heart kept me captivated well beyond the last page...beyond the last word...her Ro and Luke continue to wander out there in the southwest, two truly "wild hearts."
