I love to find a book that keeps me turning the pages, has a comfortable plot, and has me just a bit teary-eyed but smiling while I read. Jillian Hart's HIGH PLAINS WIFE did just that. It has themes of unrequited love, marriage of convenience, and a loving single parent...all of my favorites! The heroine Mariah has loved Nick Gray since she was a teenager, but her father squashed that relationship before it could get started, throwing Mariah in later life into becoming a cold-hearted spinster. But that is a facade; she needs to be loved and to give love, and this marriage of convenience gives her both. Nick is a recent widower that needs a mother for his children-but not a wife-so now that Mariah's father is gone, their romance can begin.HIGH PLAINS WIFE is another great Harlequin Historical and Ms. Hart has become one of my favorite western authors.Other Jillian Hart books I've added to my keepershelf for yearly rereads:THE LAST CHANCE BRIDEMONTANA WIFEMONTANA LEGENDDebbieAKADeeKay http://romancereaderatheart.com
