Synopsis

A tale of romance, passion, and rebirth in the rugged deserts of Utah from a New York Times-bestselling author.

LaRaine came to Hollywood in search of a rich husband and an easy life. But just as she got the chance to star in a movie, her wealthy fiancé cut her loose, ending her gold-digging career before it started. A few flops later, LaRaine's career is on its last legs, and she's looking for a safe haven.

Instead, she'll find Deseret. In the wild expanse of the Utah desert, she meets a hard-bitten rancher during a location scout. He moves her in ways she didn't know were possible, and fills her with a love that will inspire her to remake herself as someone new.

America's first lady of romance fiction, Janet Dailey's masterwork was her Americana series—fifty novels of passion, with each set in a different state. A Land Called Deseret is an unforgettable trip to Utah.

Goodreads review by Jaymy on October 04, 2014

Published in 1979, but no less moving today. Reading "Deseret" I fell in love with Janet Dailey's writing all over again. Have several of her books. Hadn't read this one until now. Found it in the "Little Free Library," along with two others by Dailey. Finished it in one night. Like all of Dailey's......more

Goodreads review by Jen on June 01, 2010

LaRaine is a selfish, spoilt brat, a not even has-been actress with a now failed acting career after botching it the third time for her. Broke and homeless, and moreover desperate, she seeks refuge at Travis McCrea's ranch, which had been part of the film set at which LaRaine was fired from. Gradual......more

Goodreads review by Nancy on July 03, 2020

The h was the very unlikeable OW in two others in this Americana series, and the H was a good guy who’d been hurt, also appearing in two different Dailey novels. Bringing them together and making her likable was a real feat! He put up with zero crap from her and helped her become a decent, hardworkin......more

Goodreads review by Lila on October 23, 2020

Nice development for a heroine from ''Dangerous Masquerade'' that reminds us not to judge others. Good people don't make superficial assumptions about strangers; and in case of beautiful women like LaRaine, such assumptions are a result of envy and insecurity ...the hero was an oaf who used her, mad......more

Goodreads review by Lynn on August 02, 2020

Loved this novel. Remains a favourite to this day and is a keeper on my shelves. Great for Travis to have his own romance and to see the spoilt Lainey have her comeuppance and develop more character to then be able to find and deserve love.......more
