Review
"Passion, wit, warmth-thoroughly charming." --Stella Cameron, author of "Wait For Me"
Product Description
She was ruled by her head...
Only one thing stood between Edward, Lord Rawlings, and a life of rakish debauchery: a spinster. Even worse, a liberal, educated, vicar's daughter-guardian to ten-year-old Jeremy, the true heir to the title Edward did not want. If Jeremy would not assume dukedom, Edward must, a fate of dire responsibility and utter boredom.
But this time, her heart was taking the reins
Since there had never been a female his lordship couldn't charm, Edward was sure he would win over the old girl. But Pegeen MacDougal was neither old, nor a girl-she was all woman, with a prickly tongue, infernal green eyes and a buried sensuality that drove him mad. Unfortunately, she loathed him and his class for their fripperies and complete disregard for the less fortunate. But for the sake of the boy, she agreed to accompany him back to his estate.
The rise was quickly apparent. For Pegeen knew she could resist Edward's money, his power, his position...his entire world. It was his kiss, however, that promised to be her undoing...

What a pleasure to read such a marvelously fresh romance novel. Filled with adventure, wit, good strong, likeable characters. Bravo for a fine debut of a very promising author.

I hope my title line does not sound condescending, because it is exactly what I mean. I have been reading Jilly Cooper for years, and Patricia Cabot's first novel seems to me to be full of the same potential. I loved the tongue-in-cheek humor, and the way the two major characters developed so well. As other reader reviewers have stated, it seems a pity when the book finishes, for I would love to know how life progressed for them. Surely Lord Edward got over his first rapt adoration of new wife and new daughter, and started eyeing the local scene (perhaps from the back of a restive stallion in the hunt) -- and I would really enjoy reading about how the initimitable Pegreen foils the potential rival for his affections!

In the spirit of Jane Austin, Where Roses Grow Wild's social commentaries, of Victorian England, are nicely blended with wit and charm. Read more
