Madeline Brewster knows she shouldn’t be eavesdropping but is unable to help it. From what she can gather, a man is going to be hung for stealing a horse.  The situation is perfect for what Madeline has in mind.  She has a plan but before it can work, she has to get to the accused horse thief before the sheriff in order to save his life.  Madeline rushes and makes it to the end of town and finally is able to convince the country sheriff to allow the man to remain in her custody for thirty days, long enough for the judge to show up and oversee his trial.  With the dirty, ragged man in tow Madeline sets off for her home and the first thing on the agenda is a bath for her new tenant.

Madeline thinks about what she needs to do while the man, Teague O’Neal, bathes.  After he finishes and Madeline sees him, she is understandably shaken.  What once was a dirty, smelly, and shabby man has been replaced by one of the most handsome and compelling men she has ever seen.  Now all she has to do is convince Mr. O’Neal to overlook her shortcomings and agree to oversee her education – her sexual education.

Teague O'Neal doesn't really care what happens to him – he is tired, worn out, and has pretty much given up.  But, his bout of feeling sorry for himself comes to an end when a tantalizing but forceful spinster comes to his aid and keeps him from hanging.  He knows she has a hidden agenda, what about however, he has no idea.  After his bath, Teague can’t believe what he is hearing.  His new jailer, albeit a red haired beautiful one, wants Teague to educate her in the art of what goes on between a man and a woman.  Unable to give her an answer Teague asks for time to decide.  Three days later, Teague’s will power is shot.  Madeline is about to become educated and Teague can’t wait to be her professor!


THE EDUCATION OF MADELINE
by Beth Williamson is a terrific and wicked hot western historical romance.  Teague and Madeline’s attraction for each other starts as a slow simmer which leads up to a full blown, fiery hot, scorching love. Teague’s coming clean to Madeline endeared him to me but most of all, I love him for the way he treats Madeline.  His loyalty to her is what makes his character shine.  Madeline, a woman begging to foist off the constraints and archaic rules for women of this time period, is a force all of her own.  She does not suffer fools lightly and I watched more than once in awe at how devoted she was to her friends and how nicely she dealt with people who treated her horribly.  I could not have been as kind.

Fans of well written, evocative, and fascinating historical romances with a western twist and touch of alpha manliness won’t want to miss a single word of THE EDUCATION OF MADELINE.  So grab some spurs, a lariat, and a lace up corset and get ready for the naughty goodness that is Teague and Madeline’s story!
