Today’s romance genre seems to be broken up into various sub-genres: paranormal, gay/lesbian, contemporary and even historicals but few western historicals or at least, few well-written ones. I have always had a thing for cowboys, I can remember Sunday afternoons sitting in front of the television watching the Lone Ranger, the Cisco Kid, Roy Rogers and John Wayne, but of course I didn’t want to be one of those women who sat back and waited for their men to come home from fighting Indians {of course some of those Indians weren’t bad looking either} or bad guys. I wanted to be out there riding the trail into the sunset with my cowboy after getting rid of all the bad guys, of course. So when I found Beth Ciotta’s Romancing the West I couldn’t wait to start it.

Mustang Wild is the debut novel in Stacey Kayne's new Wild series. Ms. Kayne is a new voice in the western historical romance genre. There are too few writers of this genre, a genre that is sorely neglected and that has always been one of my favorites.

Cecile Palmer believed that all her dreams had come true when she met the handsome Walt Williams. He had bought a piece of land out on the prairie and was about to begin a new adventure in his life. The two had fallen in love instantly and were married right away. What Cecile did not realize was that the life Walt offered was not the pampered life she had lived with her wealthy parents. Instead, the land that Walt bought had only a run down shack and barn on it, and it needed a lot of tending to. She had never done more than a few light chores in her life. But she was with the man she loved, and decided it was best to just buckle-down and deal with it.
