You'll need the tissue box for this one .....

Wild at Heart by Susan Fox Harlequin Romance #3468 - August 1997 Sam Langtry had loved Rio's mother from afar and when Rio lost first her mother, then two years later at age 11, lost her father, Sam took her in as a foster child. Rio grew up being taunted and ridiculed by her classmates and the town because of the sins of her father. And even now at 23, college educated, and often second in charge of the Langtry Ranch, Rio still felt the shame of her family name. Kane Langtry had been at first the foster brother Rio looked up to, then he was the teenage crush, and now Rio loved him with all her heart. Kane was a decent man, fair but firm, she loved the way he treated the folks around him. With the exception of her. Rio knew that Kane hated her for who she was and the bond she had with his father. Kane resented Rio for the way she always seemed to irritate him and he hated the desire he felt for her. He was looking forward to the day she'd leave the ranch. But when Sam dies, suddenly Kane is forced to see Rio through different eyes. You'll need the tissue box for this one. The tight throat started right in chapter one, by the time I reached chapter four it was a steady stream. My how Ms. Fox can tell a story that grabs at the heart! "Rio Corey, tomboy trash , daddy caused an awful crash. Killed them two boys, killed himself, now he's gone to drunkard's hell" I can't imagine how any child could cope with that taunt. Beautiful story told mostly from Rio's point of view. I'd have like to have Kane's point of view earlier in the book, to understand his actions and words that seemed rather harsh. Thankfully we did get to see his heart towards the end of the book. And Rio was right, Kane is a decent man. I read this book in one sitting, I just couldn't put it down! And once I finished it, I had to read it all over again. A great read!

Wild at Heart

But it wasn't a case of like father, like son. Kane respected his father's wishes when he left Rio half the family ranch--but he didn't respect Rio... Living with her was driving Kane crazy...Except he was starting to realize that he didn't hate her--he wanted her! They had so much in common. Both wary of love, but both passionate and wild at heart. Kane wasn't sure he could tame Rio, but suddenly he desperately wanted to try!

This is one of the most gripping and emotional stories!

Susan Fox is one of my favorite authors, I love how her male hero starts out fighting against his attraction, and ends up totally in love with the female heroine. The female character has usually suffered some tramatic childhood event, but because of it, is a more compassionate human being.

A wonderful book!

I 'really' enjoyed reading this book! I read it in one sitting and had to read it again. The story was so gripping! I do not consider myself an emotional person, but I cried at chapter four. Ms. Fox is a wonderful writer. I look forward to reading more of her books.
