Hi everyone,
I’m pleased to
announce that my historical/pioneer romance, Loving a Wild Stranger, has
received two new great reviews. This full-length romance novel is set in the
Michigan Territory and blends adventure with a sensual love story.
Here’s the book summary and excerpts from the
reviews:
Loving a
Wild Stranger
A
woman running from her past… straight into the arms of an untamed man
In a moment of
desperation, Kathleen Stanton flees her pampered life in Kingston, New York and
ends up stranded in a small town in the Michigan Territory. Out of money and
forced to rely on her instincts, she impersonates a handsome stranger’s
mail-order bride.
Committed to her deception, Kathleen
calls herself Michelle and starts her new life with Luther in an isolated cabin
in the wilderness. Luther can’t believe his luck when
his beautiful bride arrives, but something doesn’t feel right about his new
wife. Michelle has terrifying nightmares involving a man named Roger and is
reluctant to talk about where she came from.
Luther’s friend, Redfeather visits and tries to convince Luther to send Michelle back east. Distrusting Michelle, he warns Luther that his bride is not what she seems. But Luther is in love with Michelle, and he is harboring a secret of his own—one that might force Michelle to reject him when she learns the truth.
Michelle falls in love with Luther
and adapts to her new way of life. Together, they face off against brutal
townspeople and overcome harsh living conditions. When they finally give in to
their desires and agree to become a proper man and wife, a dark figure from
Michelle’s past resurfaces and threatens to destroy everything.
Publisher’s
Weekly says:
“Wilkins (Trust
with Hearts) has created a wonderfully sweet romance. The fantastic tension between the two
characters as they grapple with their sudden newlywed status and the
awkwardness that comes with marrying a perfect stranger keeps this story
emotional and realistic as they fall in love. The story flows nicely and does
not rush the romance. Wilkins keeps readers interested with strong, complex
characters. Fans of pioneer romances will enjoy this one.”

Long
& Short Romances says:
“4 Stars!
This book has the potential to be made into a movie. This book took over my
life. I ignored everyone and everything. The writing style made the entire book
come to life as if I were there. The plot was really great. Nothing was going
to interrupt my time with Luther. I envied the heroine, Michele. Loving a Wild
Stranger reminded me of the 1970s T.V. show, “Grizzly Adams” – one of my
favorite childhood television shows.
Luther was
very kind, gentle, sweet yet strong, dependable, honest and brave. The chemistry
between Luther and Michele was tangible. The writing style made the entire book
come to life as if I were there. The plot was really great. There was some
suspense threaded throughout the book pertaining to Michele’s past that had a
lot to do with me not being able to put the book down. It was clever how Ms.
Wilkins incorporated many plot threads and weaved them all together. I
recommend this book and will be keeping it on my keeper shelf! I would
recommend scheduling a camping vacation and reading Loving a Wild Stranger
while relaxing by a lake!”
