I’ve enjoyed this author in the past and looked forward to
reading this book. It’s the first in a
new series, and the summary had me interested.
Louisa has lost her job at the saloon where she was a
singer. She decides to go check on her troublemaker
brother at Fort Reno. She thinks she can
promote herself as entertainment for the troops, but she ends up with the job
of governess to the major’s children instead, a position she’s unqualified for. She decides to go along with it, maybe she
can change her life after all.
Daniel knows Louisa is hiding something, but he gets the
wrong idea when he sees her paying attention to Bradley, who is actually her
brother. His thoughts take a dark turn,
and he’s determined to prevent Louisa from making a mistake by spending time
with the man.
I really wanted to like this book, but I had some issues
with it. I think my favorite character
was Bradley, and I didn’t read near enough about him. I felt like Louisa was a coward (especially
at the end), and her behavior made her somewhat unlikable for me. So much was made of Daniels’ need to know
everything and how important the truth is to him, but he never pursues the
truth about Louisa, the woman in charge of his children.
Sadly, this one's a pass for me, and I'm sorry for it.

NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
