All-around cowgirl & fancy lady
Julianne returns from finishing school but is hiding out from her unscrupulous father who plans to marry her off to one of his equally unscrupulous cohorts. Levi has returned to town while she was gone & established himself in a law career. She is kidnapped by paid scoundrels closely connected to her father's pals. A tangled web indeed. It is all resolved and seems abrupt, but for the read it was fine. I haven't read the first two of the series but I picked up enough info to figure out who was connected to who.

“Julianne and the Judge”is book three of the “Westward to Home” series. Julianne who never wanted to go to a “finishing school” back East to begin with, returns to her sister’s home to avoid an arranged marriage by her social climbing, fortune seeking parents. She reconnects with Levi whom she knew from before she traveled to school.
I did like the book. It was a good read (no pun intended). I like series because of learning many characters and following them through more than one book.

Fun Story….
I really enjoyed this book. It is probably the last in the series that has been a fun western themed early 1900’s book. Melody Carlson is a favorite author of mine. Her books are so easy, relaxing and enjoyable to escape into.
