Title: Head in the Clouds
Author: Karen
Witemeyer
Review:
A love story set in south Texas involving a
British nobleman and his Texas born governess. His young ward is mute after the
death of her mother on the voyage from England. The nobleman has been given the
care of the young girl and is looking for someone to help her. It involves her
dastardly Uncle who needs her money to settle his debts and has no qualms about
how he achieves his goal. A very good read which I would give 4.5 stars. A
western romance, which if the locale were changed, could well be a regency
romance.

Why I Read
this Title: At a bag sale
Synopsis: Adelaide
Proctor is a young woman with her head in the clouds, longing for a real-life
storybook hero to claim as her own. But when a husband-hunting debacle leaves
her humiliated, she interviews for a staid governess position on a central
Texas sheep ranch and vows to leave her romantic yearnings behind.
When Gideon Westcott
left his privileged life in England to make a name for himself in America's
wool industry, he never expected to become a father overnight. And
five-year-old Isabella hasn't uttered a word since she lost her mother. The
unconventionality of the new governess concerns Gideon--and intrigues him at
the same time. But he can't afford distractions. He has a ranch to run, a shearing
to oversee, and a suspicious fence-cutting to investigate.
When Isabella's uncle
comes to claim the child--and her inheritance--Gideon and Adelaide must work
together to protect Isabella from the man's evil schemes. And soon neither can
deny their growing attraction. But after so many heartbreaks, will Adelaide be
willing to get her head out of the clouds and put her heart on the line?
