Adelaide Proctor, a teacher, quits her job to follow Henry Belcher to Fort Worth, Texas. She is surprised to discover that the man who's been courting her is married and has a child. Humiliated and eager to leave her fairy-tale daydreams behind her, Adelaide interviews to be a governess to the daughter of a sheep rancher.Gideon Westcott left a privileged life behind in England to make a life of his own in the American West. On the ship to America, he becomes a father overnight, promising the dying mother of young Isabella that he'll care for Isabella and protect her from the uncle who wants her inheritance.
As Adelaide and Gideon work together to care for Isabella, they find themselves experiencing feelings they didn't think possible. But they may never get their happily ever after, not if Reginald Petchey, Isabella's uncle, has anything to do with it. He'll stop at nothing - not even murder is beneath him - to get his hands on Isabella's fortune.
Head in the Clouds is a cute story, with very likeable characters in Adelaide, Gideon, and Bella. Adelaide is spunky and knows how to stick up for herself and for those she loves. Gideon is the dreamy Englishman that any woman would be crazy not to fall in love with. But he's also willing to do whatever it takes to protect his daughter, and determined to do what is right. Being a Christian romance novel, the characters had strong affinities for God, and tried to put His will above their own wants.
I enjoyed this book. It had a good message, and the romance was sweet.
My rating: 3.5/5
