A review by estellabelle92
Savage Girl by Jean Zimmerman
4.0
I have really enjoyed the previous two Zimmerman works I have read (The Orphanmaster & Love Fiercely: a gilded age romance). At times, I didn't feel this lived up to these works. In the end it satisfied me, but it wasn't a complete & total satisfaction such as I had with "The Orphanmaster" - perhaps because that time period & setting appealed to me more than this one. I burnt myself out on the "old west" as a kid and have never felt a need to return as an adult.
**** Spoiler Alert - don't read the following until you finish the book ****
I felt the ending was a bit contrived as there were no clues she actually felt anything for him. Suddenly in the epilogue they are living happily ever after. I know he loved her, but never noticed any sign of feelings from her for him. Perhaps I misinterpreted the clues as they were presented. I was very convinced she didn't feel a thing for him (and that she was probably a murderer).
This of course won't keep me from reading her future works or going back to her previous books. I love her blog & her writing style.
