Ilustration Toward 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?

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 hasThis is by far the best historical fiction I have ever read! Yes, I mean it from the bottom of my heart. It is clean; free of stupidity and vulgarity. (Thumbs Up for that). A good piece of Christian fiction with loads of inspiration.It is a perfect recipe with the spice of action and adventure, sugar of love and faith, aroma of tears and laughter, and most important, caffeine of lunatic villains. This book is an exceptional, where both Hero and Heroine won my heart with their strong stances. The
I absolutely loved this book. It is so cheesy and fluffy (maybe even too cheesy?), but sometimes its good to get a little bit of a break from serious stuffI myself am a romantic, so I could completely relate to Adelaide in her longing for fluffy romantic relationship. I loved how things that were sort of unclear in the beginning of this book made complete sense later on. The story was so sweet and though it was (obviously) predictable, the sense of danger and suspense sort of propelled you
This book has been on my to-read shelf since 2011 so when I finally spotted it at the library, I jumped at the chance to knock another book off that shelf. I definitely had higher expectations for it. A governess story written Jane Eyre-esque? Mmm, mmm, mmm...possibility.Head in the Clouds is one of the most obtuse, self-aware books I have ever read. It would be an incredibly satirical novel if it didn't take itself so seriously. PlotAdelaide Proctor (I admit, I loved her name from the start)
Really enjoyed this book! Karen Witemeyer has quickly become a favorite of mine. I'm looking forward to reading more of her books.
I love Karen's writing style so much! It just flows so smoothly and she has great flow to her story and plotline.I just wish I could highly recommend her books. She is hit and miss with how her romance content is. With this one, there was an attempted rape scene where the attack and intent was pretty detailed (though the act never took place). Also, there is a scene where a husband is very much admiring his wife's form. There is nothing wrong with that, but it just seems out of place in a
