Overall Opinion:
"The Bushranger's Wife" started off on a high note but unfortunately as the story progressed, it started to dwindle down and I became quite disappointed by the direction of Prudence and Jack relationship. What led me to this novel originally was the blurb. I became intrigued by the premise and was fascinated by the idea of Jack robbing Prudence at gunpoint during her carriage ride home later causing a possible courting. You're able to feel the intensity of their attraction through the pages in the first few chapters of this Western romance but once the leading lady decided to run away from home after discovering a dark secret her grandmother hide from her since birth, the romance loss is momentum and became way too instant for me. It started off good than escalated to a point that just seem unbelievable. Furthermore I wasn't a fan of the heroine. It felt like she was more into Jack the Devil unlawful ways than the man himself and her childish tendencies was annoying at times. Overall, an okay read that left me disappointed and wanting more.
