This book comes very close to being what I consider the perfect book: a historical romance, well written, long enough to allow interesting development of characters and their backgrounds, and a beautiful love story developing a fascinating plot. Ms. Petska does an excellent job of all aspects of sharing this book with us. I got so involved in the storyline

Courtney Danning traveled to Santa Fe to marry her dream man, Stanley Burgess. She did not know that her father, who opposed the wedding, hired Beau Hamilton to follow her and make sure she stayed safe. The day she married him, Stanley was killed and she was kidnapped; Beau, following behind, stole her away and took her back to her home. That’s when the problems started! Beau started to work for her without letting her know he was also working for her father. He seemed to always be around at the point where she needed to be rescued.

The things Stanley had told her the year they were separated; when she arrived, she found quickly that he had lied and nothing he told her was the truth. He was deeply in debt and she was unable to face most of the townspeople; they seemed to know more than they were willing to tell her. Ms. Petska used a myriad of emotions to tell this story and the reader (me) quickly becomes entranced in the ways Courtney’s stubborn attitude works to her advantage in surviving this disastrous beginning to her new life. p> Rebel Heart shows the struggles faced by both Courtney and Beau as they try to resist their attraction to each other while dealing with Stanley’s duplicity and the danger Courtney is in because of her sheep farm. Ms. Petska’s writings demand attention; she draws the reader to quickly become involved in this passionate story. This is a wonderful rendition of a different type which is a welcome addition to the historical romance genre. I believe that you will enjoy this story; I know I did!

6 Steps To A Sensual Seduction
by Leah Schwartz 

 Tip Of The Month...

 "I want you, I love you, I knead you!"

 Master the art of massage, and your lover will be putty in your hands. The skin, after all, is the largest organ, and there are anywhere from 14,000 to 18,000 nerve receptors in each square inch of skin. This can provide an incredible amount of sensual and/or sexual stimulation.

 You don't have to be a certified massage therapist to give your partner pleasure. Dim the lights, put on some soft music, and use your own instincts as well as your lover's cues. Or take a class or buy a video on massage techniques. If you're just not the do-it-yourself type, give your partner a gift certificate for a professional massage, and then follow up with an "after-massage" at home!

 6 Steps To A Sensual Seduction

 1. Tantalize her with TASTE. You could make a reservation at her favorite restaurant, or one that she's been hinting she'd like to try. If money is no object and a long wait doesn't bother you, go for it! Better yet, make her a scrumptious dinner yourself. Even if you're not a top-notch cook, women love being cooked for! Or try one of those gourmet take-out places that are becoming more popular in many cities. Have your romantic candlelight dinner at home, and then clear off the table and... Again, intent and imagination are key - especially if you make it clear that your intent is to have HER for dessert.

 2. Seduce her with SMELL. The sense of smell, it's often been said, is the quickest route to the subconscious. I think this is even more true for women than it is for men. Present her with her favorite flower, and you can be as lavish as you wish here - why stop at a dozen, when you can give her two or three dozen? If that's not in your budget, it's hard to beat one perfect rose, with a beautiful card and a handwritten poem. Light a few scented candles to add to the ambience.

 3. Excite her with SIGHT. Take her out to see a breathtaking sunset, or the ocean, or the mountains. Perhaps if you're dining out, you can even pick a restaurant that offers a lovely view of the city or surrounding area. And flowers do double duty here, appealing to her aesthetic sense as well as her olfactory nerves.

 4. Serenade her with sound. Just as many men are intensely "visual", many women are very "auditory". So be sure to take advantage of this. Find a way to work her favorite music into the evening. While you're waiting in line at the restaurant, whisper sweet nothings (or naughty somethings!) into her ear. Tell her how beautiful she is, and tell her exactly what you plan to do to her later on. If you're at home, unplug the phone, or if you're out in public, be sure your cell phone and hers are turned off. Then work on turning her on! 

5. Titillate her with TOUCH. New sheets, silky lingerie, and, of course, your loving touch, will take her over the top. Give her a massage (see the Tip of the Month above), or experiment with a new sensual technique, such as the Venus Butterfly (see http://www.venusbutterfly.com). If you've been working on her other senses, her sense of touch will be heightened marvelously, and she will be incredibly receptive to whatever delights you have in store for her. 

6. Don't forget the cherry on top of this wonderful, sensual concoction: anticipation. Well in advance of the big evening, put a note on her mirror, or leave a card in her purse or makeup case. Divulge only the most necessary details, e.g., "Please reserve (Date) at 7:00 PM for us. I love you!" Of course you can drop little hints to her as the day approaches...just enough to tease and sweetly torment her.

 And when your special day arrives...even if every detail of your "perfect" evening doesn't go exactly as planned, she will see the intent and the love behind your efforts. You may very well find that you have gone beyond touching her senses and have reached her soul.

 That's it for now... I'll see you next time. Now go out and make it a FUN day!
