I have not read a `historical romance' that gave me everything in one book. I have action, romance, sexiness, and a solid storyline that kept me guessing, and sometimes weeping, all at the same time. It has been quite sometimes since I read a historical, it was my first foray into the romance genre, and as I discovered all the other options: fantasy, paranormal, erotic. I have sense left it behind for bigger things, demanding a more detailed and complicated storyline.This book delivers and doesn't stop till the last page and you are going, Wait, I'm not done yet!The love story wasn't something that just fell into place. It had hiccups, natural derailments that made me cry at times. Ann asked me what parts I was getting weepy over and I will let that out now. The scene when they get `taken hostage' by the Indians, and Paul turns into an abominable idiot and insults Lilly and she stands up to him and tells him off. I was sobbing, I thought it was over, I could see so much more I had to read on the percent bar of my Kindle but I was like mumbling to myself how it wasn't going to work out this time. And then he gets the grand idea to marry her and then...Yeah, I'm totally not going to spoiler, you all have to read this book for yourself.I like to call Ann my diamond in the rough. That I realized her greatness as a writer, and I'm so lucky to get early copies of her book and even copies to review in general. For me, she has yet to write something that hasn't gotten down deep inside me.This story just validates Ann as a relevant author today. She can write anything. She can take us to the old west and make it sexy as hell, even giving me a train robber scene!!!!!!! I was whooping when I read that and wanted to just hug and kiss Ann like crazy. If it was something that happened in the old west, Ann managed to wrap it in the clever package of `Wild Lilly'. If you haven't read an Ann Mayburn yet, because you aren't sure about sci-fi or paranormal, then here is your ticket to literary wonderment right here!You won't be disappointed, and you will find yourself hunting down her other books on Amazon and taking a chance on things you normally wouldn't.
