Even near the end when she's wrestling in bed, it's still a childish headstrong type of wrestling instead of a sexy grown up type of wrestling. And OF COURSE she barely clears the first jump and slightly injurs her leg in the process before her horse is taken away from her. I saw a petty child stomping her foot and throwing a tantrum. But, by golly, she has to prove she can do it and defies everyone and risks her own life to try. Her sister points out that she is used to riding astride and is not a strong rider side saddle. There was a scene in here where she goes off to prove she can ride a horse side saddle through a difficult jumping course, just to prove how strong she is. I find Lillian to be an immature obstinate stupid female for most of this book who isn't strong against anything real. I do love a story that includes a strong female lead.

This edition of It Happened One Autumn contains an altered version of the content that appeared in the original 2005 edition. After a shocking betrayal endangers Lillian's safety - and possibly her life - will Marcus be able to save her before it's too late? What neither Westcliff nor Lillian suspect, however, is that a sinister conspiracy threatens to destroy any chance of happiness. Then one afternoon, a stunningly sensuous encounter changes everything.and Lillian discovers that beneath the earl's reserved façade, he is the passionate and tender lover of her dreams. Whenever they're in the same room, they can't stop themselves from battling furiously to gain the upper hand. But something about the audacious Lillian drives him mad. Marcus, Lord Westcliff, is famous for his icy English reserve and his supreme self-control. Except, perhaps, the powerful and arrogant Earl of Westcliff - a man Lillian despises more than anyone she's ever met. Unfortunately, no man is strong enough to tame the stubborn beauty's fierce will. Headstrong American heiress Lillian Bowman has come to England to find an aristocratic husband.
