A Sweet Misfortune (Review)

Author: Maggie Brendan
Genre: Historical Romance 
My Rating: 7/10
Revell

Rachel Matthews isn't one to rely on others to take care of her. Destitute and alone, she still wants to make her own way and her own money--even if she's forced into the life of a dance hall girl. Horrified by her circumstances, Rachel's brother sends a friend--the widely admired cattle baron John McIntyre--to rescue her, then sets off to earn enough money to buy back the family ranch. But when months pass without her brother's return, Rachel isn't sure she can take one more day in John McIntyre's home--especially once she discovers that he's the one who holds the deed to her family's ranch.

Sparks fly between this spunky, independent heroine and the ruggedly handsome hero as they navigate the snarled terrain of pride, greed, faith, and love in Maggie Brendan's delightful series set in the Old West.
 
My thought:
I have cracked the cover of another historical romance. Historical romances are all over the place so for me to come across one that I really enjoy is rare. 
This book was good but not stunning and not one that will be remembered forever in my book.
I thought that Rachel was not very unique and was a little bland to read about. Although I thought that John was a pretty good character.
I was a bit confused at first because the story seemed to progress SSOOOO quickly and I that made me feel like the story could have been over halfway trough the book. And I felt like it was just your average historical romance that was not very captivating and lacking in adventure. 

But overall the writing style was great and this will not stop me from reading another of her books  

My rating: 7/10

I received this book for free from Revell in exchange for my honest review
