Summary: A Great Romantic Read
Review: Eventhough I'm too young to fall in love (at my age, only a crush will do), I think this romantic novel by author Connie Mason is an excellent, high quality romance. Connie Mason, of course, has written other great romantic and steamy novels that melt a woman's heart. And they have plots. For women, romance novels are not only sex stories, they are a means of escaping our dull, modern life and experiencing a romance we all wish we had in a time of exciting change in history. In Brave Land, Brave Love, Ben Penrod is the Australian proprietor of his family's land. He moves to England where he engages in an affair with an upscale Victorian woman of low morals. Eventually, he runs into Tia, a young lady masquerading as a boy of the steets to avoid problems. She lies to Ben saying she is a prostitute. Eventually, she passes off for his wife to fool Ben's London friends. Tia is a feisty, hot-tempered, passionate and vibrant young woman who ends up getting Ben's heart. The story unfolds to reveal intrigue and adventure. Ben and Tia are exemplary romantic figures- she is sexy, confident, mature, he is a playboy, an adventurer, brave and eventually a one-woman man. The love story is incredible. I recommend this highly.

Summary: This is awesome.
Review: I never read this book, but my name is Ben Penrod and I think everyone should buy this book for that reason. My wife read it and said it was good. My mom and aunt didn't like it so much because they said it was weird to think of me in a romantic way...and that's cool, but since you're probably not related to me, please buy this book about a person with my name.

Summary: I couldn't put it down.....
Review: This was another one of my "maiden voyages" as I have never read anything by Connie Mason until this book. I have another book by her that I intended to read first, Shiek, but wanted to test the waters with this book. I was pleasantly surprised in Tia's character, who dressed as a male from the streets of London, complete with the foul language to match not once, but three times: once when she lifted Ben Penrod's wallet, again when she left his house for the bad side of London, and again when she escaped Damian Fairfield's abuse for the Austrailian Outback. This says something about the type of security they had back in 1819. I admire her courage for keeping her secret marriage to Damian Fairfield until chapter twelve,when her husband came banging on the door at Penrod Station, demanding she be returned to him. I'm glad he was killed by Cress because Tia would have died by the time she was 21 if she remained with her abusive husband. Ben Penrod's attitude toward women and marriage was appalling, even if his brothers had to fight to keep their wives, which was a bad example. I mean, he was arrogant, self-centered, and self absorbed. The woman he got caught in bed with, Caroline Battersby, was no slouch either being spoiled, coniving and down right rude to Tia during the dinner party. She planned to trap Ben in bed when her father came home early. No wonder he wanted to run. I expected more of Caroline and her father. Evidently, their tentacles didn't reach as far as Austrailia. For someone who didn't want to be married, I find it amazing that Ben Penrod lusted after Tia's body and refused to let her leave once they were at Penrod Station. Yes, he fought the desire to marry but lost when he found out he couldn't live without Tia or stand the fact that another man was touching her body. I also found it ironic that the word love never exisited in his vocabulary until Tia came along. He even refused to admit he was in love with her, even though the signs were there. I admire Tia's strong character, which is similar to Perdita Lyford's character in (the late) Barbra Cartland's "The Daring Deception". Both women were running from abusive situations. I do plan to read more of Connie Mason in the near future.
