BRAVE LAND BRAVE LOVE

I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN I ENJOYED READING IT AND I ALSO LOVED READING WILD LAND WILD LOVE THE SECOND BOOK IN THE SERIES I GIVE BOTH BOOKS A 5 STAR RATING MRS CONNIE IS A GREAT AUTHOR AS FAR AS I AM CONCEREND.

I couldn't put it down.....

This was another one of my "maiden voyages" as I have never read anything by Connie Mason until this book. I have another book by her that I intended to read first, Shiek, but wanted to test the waters with this book. I was pleasantly surprised in Tia's character, who dressed as a male from the streets of London, complete with the foul language to match not once, but three times: once when she lifted Ben Penrod's wallet, again when she left his house for the bad side of London, and again when she escaped Damian Fairfield's abuse for the Austrailian Outback. This says something about the type of security they had back in 1819. I admire her courage for keeping her secret marriage to Damian Fairfield until chapter twelve,when her husband came banging on the door at Penrod Station, demanding she be returned to him. I'm glad he was killed by Cress because Tia would have died by the time she was 21 if she remained with her abusive husband.Ben Penrod's attitude toward women and marriage was appalling, even if his brothers had to fight to keep their wives, which was a bad example. I mean, he was arrogant, self-centered, and self absorbed. The woman he got caught in bed with, Caroline Battersby, was no slouch either being spoiled, coniving and down right rude to Tia during the dinner party. She planned to trap Ben in bed when her father came home early. No wonder he wanted to run. I expected more of Caroline and her father. Evidently, their tentacles didn't reach as far as Austrailia.For someone who didn't want to be married, I find it amazing that Ben Penrod lusted after Tia's body and refused to let her leave once they were at Penrod Station. Yes, he fought the desire to marry but lost when he found out he couldn't live without Tia or stand the fact that another man was touching her body. I also found it ironic that the word love never exisited in his vocabulary until Tia came along. He even refused to admit he was in love with her, even though the signs were there.I admire Tia's strong character, which is similar to Perdita Lyford's character in (the late) Barbra Cartland's "The Daring Deception". Both women were running from abusive situations.I do plan to read more of Connie Mason in the near future.

Very Good Book, Interesting, Romantic

Last in a trilogy,Ben thought he was sly enough not to get hooked in love, Then along came Tia and he found out he wasn't as imuned to it as he thought that he was. Funny, heart warming, a very good book. Reading all 3 is a must.

If you want to get work done, don't pick up this book

After reading this book, I realized this is book 3 in a series regarding the Penrod men and Robin Fletcher. Before reading this one, read the first two, I should have done that. It really doesn't matter I guess but it would have been nice to know about Dare and Robin in their youthful years before getting to know Ben. I thought the women are amazing. Very strong-willed when they are given the chance. Tia especially is a strong and round character who is considerate and thoughtful, whereas Ben is arrogant and takes what he wants. Together it is a clash of wills, with Tia no doubt coming out as the winner. This book was so good. There was Tia's secret that forced me to keep on reading, I took it to work and instead of working just read the whole day. Couldn't put it down. Now I'm reading Bold Land, Bold Love with Dare and Casey;it is equally enjoyable.
