The Rascal
Reforming the rascal...
Grace Crabtree has no need of a man. Except Morrow Creek's reprobate saloon keeper, Jack Murphy, keeps getting in her way.

June 29, 2007Western romantic "comedy"--however, for me, making fun of early feminists != funny

I wasn't expecting to like his one, as I have a thing against the 'suffragette blue stocking political renegade' type character that inevitably crops up in Western romance series. There is always one, and to be honest I have never warmed to them as they are almost always OTT Citizen Smith style characters who bang on and on about the cause. The exception being the h from LaVryle Spencer's The Gamble... and apparently Grace from Morrow Creek. I liked her... OK so she was stuffy and didn't shut uppppp about her politics but she was also rather sweet and shy and vulnerable in her own way.
The H was wonderful all round, and that sledging scene gave me them sweet romance butterflies. I gave it a 5 because the author took a character archetype I haaate and made me love her. Bravo indeed!
Looking forward to reading the rest of these books. They are on the whole delightful, cozy, comfy and lighthearted to the max.

Nice read. I enjoyed it.

I received this book as part of Goodreads First Reads contests. I enjoy reading historical fiction. This was a good quick read. I enjoyed the book and although it didn't have as much history in it as I like, it was a fun read. A little predictable but I liked the matchmaking in it by the father, that was unexpected. If you aren't looking for something in depth to read this is a great end of summer, afternoon on the beach read.
