"THE INDISCRETION"

Lady Lydia Bedford-Browne escapes the confines of her restricted life by taking a public coach to her maid's wedding three hours from her home. On the return trip she finds herself with fellow traveler, Sam Cody. Lady Lydia has mixed emotions -- she is enthralled and excited but also dismayed to meet the handsome and disreputable cowboy. Because of a drunken coach driver, frightened horses and bogs on the moor, the Lady and the Texan are lost in the wilderness. Who better to have as her companion than Sam who is versed in the art of survival? Is this a romantic set up for a book or what? The attraction grows between the unlikely couple. They somewhat reluctantly return to civilization. Sam wishes to pursue the romance but Lydia knows her family would never accept a cow-herder who wears red cowboy boots and is not anything like an English gentleman. But perhaps Sam and fate have other ideas.... Whether you call her Judith Ivory or Judy Cuevas, this talented author always produces fascinating books. She writes beautifully with panache and poetry to delight her readers. My advice to you is to run, don't walk, to purchase her latest offering. The romance is hot and the hero is to die for. The heroine changes from up tight to feisty knowing what (and who) she really wants. Emotions between the pair are electric giving the reader a most satisfactory read. If you enjoy character driven stories, THE INDISCRETION is the book for you. This one goes on my keeper shelf.
