I suppose it was an attempt at humor but just failed and came off as silly.
Time line is off with the hero's past childhood. His mother died at His father left when he was Yet his mother was still alive a few years after the father left. So if his mother dies at 23 and his father left a few years before she died.. This bugged me. I loved the heroine and how feisty she was. I guess it's because I like strong heroines, and I can relate to them.
She didn't let anyone dictate her life and she had some great angry moments.. Unfortunately, the story peetered off a bit and I felt there were too many instances where the author was trying to create new drama to keep the pace going, and it did, but was always resolved too fast and easily.
Overall, it was a good read, I enjoyed it and it was something that was good for me to read while sick.. He found out left her at the alter. He is over it. She comes back attempting to get him back, the heroine thwarts it.. View 1 comment. I loved this story. It was a nice little charmer with very intriguing surprises.
What I enjoyed most was that this wasn't the typical historical romance with stereotypical characters. Ruth puts a unique and comical spin on an old plot and comes up with a gem that pleased me from beginning to end. This is one of few books where I enjoyed all the characters, even the secondary ones. The character development was spot on and the characters' actions stayed true to their personalities. My favorite cha I loved this story. My favorite character was Sue hands down. I found it refreshing that back in that time Sue was a strong woman who stuck to her guns and didn't back down.
I know some felt a woman wouldn't act like that back then but this proves that people had different personalities no matter what time frame a story's in.
I can't stand a weak female character and if Sue hadn't been who she was I wouldn't have gotten through this book. I liked Jake but I really related to Sue and admired her for the type of woman she was. I liked the pacing of the book though I thought some scenes last a little too long. I would have liked the history of Jake's father to be delved into a little sooner than it happened.
It kind of felt like it was an afterthought coming so close to the end of the story. I liked how Ruth added mystery and comedy at just the right times. The comedy won me over and really set this book apart from most historical romances.
Another thing I loved was that Ruth keeps you guessing. You couldn't tell what would happen from scene to scene and none of the characters were predictable. I couldn't put it down for long. This is the kind of book where you take a break but keep saying, "Okay I'll read just one more page and stop. I wasn't bored once and I wouldn't mind seeing more of these characters in the future.
If you're a fan of well-written historical romance with engaging subplots, definitely check this out. But if you're not into comedy or lack a sense of humor, skip it. This book is a mixture of many comedic moments, family drama, romance and women empowerment and if that's not your thing then you probably won't see what the author set out to accomplish.
I've read Ruth's work before and with this I've become a life-long fan! I highly recommend "Loving Eliza" by Ruth as well. It's one of my favorite books!
