Rating 5 out of 5 stars!!!!!
Summary:
Lola Bell, the saloon hall singer, is out of luck. She's been kicked out of a job for a younger woman, has no parents to speak of and nowhere to go. A better life sounds like a good idea, but how the heck is she going to find it? Right before her job is lost, she hears that her brother, a cavalry soldier at Ft. Reno, is in trouble again. Lola decides she'll go out there, straighten him out and get a job doing whatever they'll hire her to do...laundry, entertaining the troops...whatever. On the way, she meets a governess on her way to teach the commander's children. Unfortunately, the governess lady has allergies that are going to make her have to turn back. Arriving at the fort armed with boxes for the girls, Lola is mistaken as the governess. It seems natural for her performing self to play the role in order to keep an eye on her brother and secure a job. Will she be able to pull it off? Will the consequences be terrible? And what about her handsome employer? What's she supposed to do with these feelings that seem to be forming within her deception?
Oh my! I LOVED this book. Throughout the entire book, I was laughing out loud. The other soccer moms may have thought I'd lost my mind a little, but the comedy is so genius and would catch me off guard and I just had to laugh.
If I had to say something I didn't like about this book it would be that the ending seemed a teeny bit unrealistic. But hey! We're talking historical romance people...it's not supposed to be exactly like real life. Otherwise, I loved the comedy, the characters were quirky,, charming and just so loveable (I"m excited to see more of them in the next 2 books!), and the story kept moving forward and there was none of that "middle of the book lag" that I often run into while reading fiction.
I'm going to go now and reserve the next book at the library...
Happy Reading!
