Wild Land, Wild Love (Australia Trilogy, Book Two): Connie Mason

AUSTRALIA, 1812

“It was a virgin land waiting to be explored, a wild frontier peopled by even wilder men, a place where a defenseless woman risked both her virtue and her life. But hot-tempered, high-spirited Kate McKenzie was sure she could survive in Australia on her own…until she met her match in Robin Fletcher. In the brawny arms of the former convict she discovered that a defenseless woman can have the time of her life losing her virtue to the right man.”

As the sequel to Connie Mason’s book, Bold Land, Bold Love, this was a perfect book. It was wonderfully written with fascinating plot twists and the return of all of the readers’ beloved characters from the previous book. I laughed and got choked up a little; I felt for the characters and thoroughly enjoyed the story. It was so much fun to return to 19th century Australia and witness the development of the untamed land and the people who were brave enough to conquer it—even if they had a difficult time admitting their love to the people who mattered most (as was the case with Kate McKenzie). I recommend this book and any of Mason’s other works because they truly do touch something inside of the readers.
