At age 29, unmarried and without a fortune to secure her future, Elizabeth Middleton leaves England with her brother Julian and travels to the edge of the New York frontier to join her father in the village of paradise in 1792. In the deep of winter she comes to Paradise and first encounters a man who challenges her understanding of this new world. He is Nathaniel Bonner, a white man, a hunter and trapper, tall and lean and whip cord, uncompromising in his honesty and unhampered by social conventions.
This book follows on from the film The Last of The Mohicans. Nathaniel's father is Hawkeye and Cora his mother, from the film.
This book has lots of adventure, passion and hats off to Miss Donati, this is a brilliant story. Some people have compared this series to Diana Gabaldons Outlander series and it's just as good.
I did read this book about ten years ago, but couldn't remember anything and thoroughly enjoyed it again.
Nathaniel Talkling to Elizabeth - he calls her Boots...
(I'm happy here, Boots. Sometimes when I'm coming up the trail and I see the light in the window, I can't hardly move for fear that it's all been a dream, having you here in this place with me. I'm scairt of being without you. I never was easy to scare, even as a boy, but I've learned it now" His hand went to the bulk of her belly and rested there. "All I want is to keep you safe, and to please you. So you'll stay with me. Tell me you'll stay with me")
This is a long book 872 pages, seemed to take me ages to get through, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Best of all this book and the rest of the series is available on Kindle Unlimited.

The prose is ok, but I'm 5/6ths of the way through and I want to quit. I'm not attached to the characters, who are rather one dimensional and a bit unbelievable (particularly the heroine) and not particularly likeable. I love the premise and the setting - It could be a fantastic setting for an amazing adventure, but this is not that book. If you are picky about writing, skip this one.

This book was recommended to me via Goodreads after my interest in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series. Goodreads knew I would love it and they were correct. Into the Wilderness is a solid historical romance with intriguing plot development and well drawn out characters. I sometimes struggle with historical romance novels because they don’t have enough plot to mingle alongside all the romance. That was not the case with this read. I highly recommend this one to any Outlander fan or early Americanist. A very enjoyable read!

I just can't finish it! There is so much "romance novel" garbage in here that I just can't focus on the story line. The first 20 pages or so display the typical romance novel tricks: the heroine with hair so thick and luxurious that it seems to have a mind of its own and is always popping out of its pins; the heroine repeatedly trips and falls into the arms of the hero; the heroine accidentally comes upon the hero who is stripped to the waist. Elizabeth is continually getting into ridiculous situations trying to prove that she is independent (but she really isn't) and the hero is a contradiction himself. I stuck with it to page 404 but only because I bought the thing and wanted to get my money's worth. It's 758 pages long! Maybe I'll get back to it some day. It sounded good and has a pretty cover.
Can’t wait to continue this series! The Clare and Jamie Frasier cameo was such a fun surprise!
