Rendition In Pursuance Of Books Head in the Clouds

Adelaide Proctor is a young woman with her head in the clouds, longing for a real-life storybook hero to claim as her own. But when a husband-hunting debacle leaves her humiliated, she interviews for a staid governess position on a central Texas sheep ranch and vows to leave her romantic yearnings behind. When Gideon Westcott left his privileged life in England to make a name for himself in America's wool industry, he never expected to become a father overnight. And five-year-old Isabella hasn't uttered a word since she lost her mother. The unconventionality of the new governess concerns Gideon--and intrigues him at the same time. But he can't afford distractions. He has a ranch to run, a shearing to oversee, and a suspicious fence-cutting to investigate. When Isabella's uncle comes to claim the child--and her inheritance--Gideon and Adelaide must work together to protect Isabella from the man's evil schemes. And soon neither can deny their growing attraction. But after so many heartbreaks, will Adelaide be willing to get her head out of the clouds and put her heart on the line?

This is a story set in Texas in the late 1800s. Miss Adelaide Proctor took a job as a teacher after her father died, and part of the conditions of the contract were that she wasnt allowed to marry for 2 years. At the end of this time, the potential suitors who she met when she first came into town have moved on. Adelaide has no family and she dreams of starting a family of her own, so shes been concentrating her efforts on a young man called Henry, whom she doesnt love, but likes enough to see

Adelaide is a romantic. A ranchers daughter, former schoolteacher, and Jane-Eyre-loving daydreamer who only wears yellow and takes her horse, Sheba, wherever she goes.First to town. Where things DONT proceed in Jane-Eyre-esque fashion.And then, on a spur of the moment compulsion . . .To the Westcott ranch.Where she runs straight into Gideon Westcott.Who already has one unfathomable girl under his roof (five-year-old Isabella, who hasnt spoken since her mothers death).And now most certainly has

When Adelaide Proctor finds herself in a new town, jobless and heartbroken, she decides to apply for a position as a governess. After spending many years reading enchanting novels and dreaming about her perfect hero, she realizes that it is time to stop dreaming and start living a real life. She does not imagine that sometimes real life may be more fascinating and breathtaking than her books.The thing I always like when I read a Karen Witemeyer book is that I feel exactly all the emotions the

I choose this book because I needed a fun read to go with a long, serious book and I'd read and enjoyed To Win Her Heart earlier. I thought this one was about a widower in the Old West who needed a governess, but the hero is actually an English Earl-turned-sheep-farmer and the girl is his ward, not his daughter. I've read the "nobleman in the Old West" trope before; I have no idea if it's based on fact, but I decided to go along for the ride. :) His background plus the fact that the little girl

An engaging story about a character whose storybook dreams come to life when she takes the position as governess on the Westcott ranch, and who finds herself and the rest of the ranch in many dangers along the way. Not my favourite Witemeyer story, but it still had all the trademark charm and a standout storyline that made me like it a whole lot! :)

This somewhat entertaining tale would have been better had the author omitted some of the trite descriptions and dialogue between the main characters. While the storyline had potential, it was lost in the sappy romantic scenes that seemed to go on and on while adding nothing to the story. Much fluff without much substance, but if you like that sort of writing, you may enjoy this novel. However, the claims of suspense and excitement with romantic overtones are highly exaggerated.
