Wild and Unruly
Librarian Lillian
is obsessed with the Old West and wants nothing more than for a cowboy
to come and sweep her off her feet. One night a mystery
box containing an old necklace is found in her library and she takes it
home only to wake up somewhere unfamiliar and having an argument with
the man of her dreams Sheriff Jake Sloan over the behaviour of "her
girls!"
When I saw the cover of this book I
assume it was set entirely in the the past so was surprised when it
started in the modern world. There are several things that I really
liked about this book, one was that when Lili finds herself in the Old
West the details of her other life are fuzzy so although they leak
through she isn't totally shell shocked, and the fact that a lot of the
leaking was in the form of Billy Joel songs did have me laughing. I also
liked the way that although she finds herself in a male dominated era
she doesn't steam in and try and make everyone liberated as that would
have made the story harsh instead she uses her charms gently to change
peoples perceptions of her bordello. This was a sweet read,- who can
resist a cowboy- Yee Haw!!!
I would rate this 4 out of 5 stars
