Thwarted love, the abiding theme of so much women's fiction, is served on a refreshing palette here - Publishing News'A good book for the beach bag' Aberdeen Evening Express'Forbidden love that really tugs the heart strings.' Your Weddinga kind of Anglo-Argentine DYNASTY, with lots of smouldering Latin boys swinging their polo mallets about. Very readable. - Telegraph MagazineCertainly puts the raunch into ranch. . . an enjoyable tale of heat, dust and lust that maintains the tension to the very end. - The Mail on SundayAll the ingredients of a classic romantic read - thwarted love, exotic locations and lifestyles of the rich and famous. - Daily MailThe descriptions of Argentina are fascinating, there is enough of a sprinkling of politics to keep readers on their toes and, as ever, the predicament of star-crossed lovers is the stuff of delicious escapism. - Sunday TimesA brilliant first novel and a classic piece of storytelling. - OK Magazine
