Wildest Heart

Summary: ABSOLUTELY ADORED IT![e-mail]
Review: 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 say Sweet Savage Love-alo by the same author- in that there are none of her normally passionate scenes which I must admit I do enjoy reading from her. The physical contact between Lucas and Rowena is very brief and glossed over and that would be my only critisicm of this book. I sometimes found myself mentally crying 'go on show each other some passion!'. 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 the traditionally strong silent type he was also portrayed as vulnerable, sometimes openly confused by what he called Rowena's acting. 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!

Summary: Once again...
Review: Once again Rosemary Rogers does it again. This book was filled with memorable characters. I enjoyed it immensely. Another can't put down book as usual. The romance was exciting as always. If you like historical romance this book is a must.

Summary: Truly Captivating
Review: 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."

Summary: The Best Twist and Love Story I Have Read!
Review: This is my all time favorite story. The characters lived lives that were realistic with their sexual laisons, etc. I get tired of reality being left out of romance books. Authors like Rogers who dare to include in their stories such things as the incest the step father forced on Rowena make the stories more interesting. This story has so many interesting and shocking twist to it as the family history and relationships are revealed. I fell in love with Lucas. He seemed to be such a senuous man. The relationship between him and Rowena was disturbing, erotic, and thankfully ended positive. I can't say enough about the twist in the stroy, these twist and Lucas is what made this my all time favorite!!!

Summary: Wonderful book!
Review: 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.
