As I promised here, you’ll find my review for Montana Rose on this blog post!
When Cassie Griffin’s husband dies, life gets pretty ugly for her. The entire town thinks she’s a stuck-up China doll princess who wants to do nothing but sit around in silks and satins all day, spending her husband’s money. Red, a townsman who assists with digging Griff’s (Cassie’s husband’s) grave, feels sorry for Cassie. When a few dangerous men fight for Cassie’s hand in marriage, Red steps forward, agreeing to marry the young pregnant China doll.
Cassie has preconceived ideas about men, love, and marriage from her abusive marriage to Griff. However, her eyes are opened about a lot of things once she’s married to Red. Cassie discovers things about herself, having faith in God, developing friendships with others, and what it’s like to have a husband who loves and respects her.
Cassie’s life isn’t all great once she’s married to Red. Wade, a drunken young man who pursues Cassie, will stop at nothing to win the China doll for himself. With Cassie’s life in danger, it doesn’t appear that true happiness lurks upon her horizon.
I thought this story was sweet and charming. A must-read if you like historical romances!
