I picked this up from my e-reader from my local library, wanting a fun, mindless read with a happy ending. Instead, I got a hero that was jealous, selfish, and downright abusive in spots. Halfway through the book, the heroine meets a genuinely nice man who loves her deeply, and he is 'written off into the sunset', which I thought was a real tragedy.

The 'villain' in the piece is stereotyped in a borderline racist way, and there is no satisfying denouement to the arc of the villain's story. There More...

I have enjoyed jude deveraux for a very long time now, probably 15 years, and I had never read this, her first book. I finally read it and it was a quick couldn't put it down romance. There was a moment where I wanted to stop reading, but I pressed on and really enjoyed this book. Just when you feel comfortable with the romance, it takes a turn for the worse, when you think you know what's going to happen, something completely different happens! You think she's going to zig and she ends up zaggi More...

The Enchanted Land lay west of the bluegrass splendors of her Kentucky home, east of the gold dappled salons of San Francisco, beneath the star-spangled skies of New Mexico, and within the powerful and tender embrace of one man.

Love had made Morgan Wakefield beautiful, for as Seth Colter's lips lit her heart afire, her tousled hair fell golden, her face blushed amber...and men could not live without her.

From a Spaniard's captive to a land baron's wife, Morgan endured, for always she held in her More...

Done! Whew, that was a chore. Note to self: steer clear of the older romance novels. That's about all I can say. I didn't completely hate it. I just didn't like it very much. I didn't really care for the ending very much. But I didn't give it just 1 star because parts of it were very interesting and had potential. But things went downhill and just continued to go downhill. I only finished because I had gotten so far into it and refused to let it defeat me. It had potential, but just fell apart a More...

Super boring, super simple language, and super repetitive plot. As soon as things get boring/settle down, the chick gets kidnapped! Everyone has to comment on how thin she is, how full her breasts are, how much better her hair looks when it's down, and how she cleans up nicely. Everyone has to misunderstand everything anyone says, feel hurt by it, stew over it, and ruin everything for the duration of that mini-plot. And there was next to no romance in it. It was a very frustrating book, not wort More...

This book seems to be early in the writing career of Jude Deveraux. Her later books are more involved and historical in nature. This book is a romance that introduces us to New Mexico in the early days of settlement. Between the kidnappings, frustration, and misunderstandings of the major force in this book, a rich story develops. This book might be early in her career, but show Deveraux to be a fabulous storyteller. It was predictable, and the ending seemed to be a little forced and convenient, More...

I like it at first but after further reading, I came to a point where i don't want to read it anymore because of a lot of despicable things that kept on happening to Morgan. She was always being put to a situation where she has to undress herself for everybody's eyes (especially men). I don't like the ending for i think something is lacking to the story. What happened to Gordon?What happened to Joaquin after going to Spain? etc. It's not that satisfactory at all. It's the first time I read a boo More...

This was an all-nighter for me. First book of Ms. Deveraux and her writing agrees with me.
I like that the H/h meet right away, the first 125 pages or so were quite beautiful. You get to see the couple becoming friends, resisting temptations, falling in love. But since all this happened in the first quarter of the book, there must be many, many obstacles for the them to endure. So throw in some misunderstandings, numerous of kidnapping, a jealous/high-temper hero and stubborn heroine and you got More...

I've been a fan of jude Deveraux for years, but I wouldn't have been if I'd have read this book first. I was so disappointed. The story was so contrived, predictable and just not romantic. There are much better Jude Deveraux books out there - don't bother with this one.

I was very disappointed with this book. I've read this author before & enjoyed her writing. I didn't like the way Morgan & Seth argued, swearing to never seek the other one again - over and over and over. Hated the huge plot turn 2/3rd's of the way through.

I didn't enjoy this book overall and did not finish. The beginning of the story was good and had me interested but I could not like Morgan and the story was not believable. It turned out for me to be a boring read.

I love this author, but this was not my favorite.
I know this was at the begining of her career and that maybe why it was overdone. Everytime you turn around, somrthing as separates them, but she never really gets hurt and he always finds her...in the wilderness, with no supplies, alone eith no gun lol over the top.
Having said that... you csn see in this story the talent for story telling that has become Ms. Deveraux's trademark.

I love Jude Deveraux's books because they are fast, fun easy romances. I liked this book and the story of a rancher, who wouldn't?

I have read and reread this book and always will love it!! This is one of my all time favorites!! Read this book if you haven't already!!

Very good read from one of my favorite writers. Enjoy this tale of adventure and romance. This is one gutsy lady. Thanks Jude.

can i just say that deep down within me, i like adventure plus romance? haha and this book matched my needs. :)

i would have given this a 2 1/2 if i could have. didn't dislike it, but not one of my favorites from jude deveraux.

I have read all Jude Deveraux's book and this is one of my favorites. Perfect for the historical romance lover...

I normally like Jude deveraux. this started good but went downhill. just wasn't that exciting.

Every girl needs to read a romance while camping! This was a good story and not too trashy!

This was a fun read. Would definitely be a good beach/summer book. Very enjoyable.

Morgan is strong and downplayed her beauty. Its a sensitive love story.

Another good read. Quick and easy. I enjoy all of Jude's books.

Very easy reading, felt as though a lot was crammed into the book.Predictable , but sweet

Good read, enjoyed it... kidnapping, marriage, gold rush and of course bandits... all fun elements in this read.
