A Tailor-Made Bride - Karen Witemeyer

The last time I checked my "to be read" pile, I decided to do something a bit different.  None of the books I had waiting grabbed my attention, so I searched for a book I enjoyed in the past and reread it.  Once I finished this book, I didn't think I'd have to write a review for it.  Imagine my surprise when I discovered I actually read it before I started my blog, and thus, there is no review for me to reference!

This is the first book by one of my favorite authors, Karen Witemeyer.  

Hannah is a dressmaker who opens her own shop in Coventry, Texas.  She's met at the train station by a grouchy liveryman, J.T., and immediately goes about getting under his skin.  She's quick to apologize for any offense she gives, but J.T. seems determined to think the worst of her.

J.T. (Jericho) doesn't appreciate Hannah's presence.  She's interfered with his plans to help a widow and her children, and Hannah also represents something he despises: vanity and beauty.  He considers her to be setting stumbling blocks in the paths of the women of Coventry, including his little sister!  But there's also a side to her that he doesn't understand.  She truly cares for people, and he isn't sure what to make of her.

I remembered some of the plot, but I'd forgotten most of it.  The last 4% or 5% , everything seemed wrapped up, and I worried that the end would be filled with nonsense.  My fears were unnecessary, and I was glad to be wrong.  It's just the right length, and a sweet, clean romance.  Good Book - even the second time around!
