I've never been much interested in this period in history thanks to boring high school history classes and then Harlequin Escape released this book.  I liked the idea of an Australian historical so I gave it a go - and I loved it!What did I love?  I loved the fact Matilda is a feisty heroine without a title or a position of privileged.  I loved the fact she was a gal who was actively trying to take her fate into her own hands instead of simpering and preening until someone directs her fate for her.  I loved the fact its set in the Aussie bush, a beautiful part of the world the author evokes wonderfully.  I learned quiet a bit without being lectured,all the while enjoying a tale of growing romance which kept the tension at just the right pitch.My only critique is the arc of the story could have been a bit longer.Looking forward to Tea Cooper's next offering.  If its anything like this one I'll be pre-ordering for sure.
