When wild woman, Mad Mag, came across a pair of boots underneath a layer of snow, she was determined to ignore the dumb sod and let him freeze to death. Stupidity was not something she or anyone could afford to accommodate in untamed Wyoming. Just as she was leaving, a familiar dog barked… Boots… which meant that the unconscious cowboy was Garret Daines.
Garret Daines was the first man to show her kindness, besides Ira, since she ran for her life fourteen years ago. Unfortunately that meant she had to save him. Mentally cursing the emergence of her conscious Maggie hauls Garret onto her sled and drags him two miles up the mountain to her little abode.
Safe inside and tucked under her sheets, Garret thinks he’s dreaming of an angel. Maggie, uncomfortable around people is not at all sure what’s going to happen when he wakes up. What’s a girl to do with a half dead man in the middle of a blizzard?
There were quite a few grammatical and spelling errors in the Harlequin Historical, which surprised me. I’m not used to seeing them. The most notable was wreaked when the word reeked was appropriate. As for the story, got to say it was one of the best stuck and snowed-in I’ve ever read. Very fun, I laughed quite a bit in the beginning. The ending was sort of bland/typical, lacking the strength of the beginning and middle of the novel.

I haven’t read her books yet but will be soon. I have her trilogy coming in the mail. Did you let the author know about the errors. I know when I wrote my papers for college, I always needed others to catch errors so maybe the author doesn’t know and would want to? Surprises me too for HH books.
Garret sounds yummy! I love your reviews. Gives me just the right info! Its perfect and fun to read them too!
I haven’t written Stacey– do authors take care of things like that or is there someone at Harlequin I should contact instead.
Trilogy? In the wilds of Wyoming or is it something else?
I’m so glad you like the reviews!
Hi Keira. Your review popped up on my Google alert. Thanks for reviewing my book. Glad you enjoyed the ‘stuck and snowed-in’ theme, and “e-gads!” on the errors! I don’t doubt that I had errors in the manuscript when I sent it to my publisher and their copy editors are usually really good about catching them before printing. I’m currently bogged down with deadlines and haven’t read the printed book, but I’d bet Harlequin sure wouldn’t mind being told about the errors, and I’ll mention it to my editor.
And yup–MOUNTAIN WILD is the last book in my Wild Trilogy. MUSTANG WILD features Garret’s older sister, and is their the journey to Wyoming. MAVERICK WILD is Chance and Cora’s story.
Cheers!
LOL–okay, that second to last sentence shows my sincere need for thorough copy editors
