A Sweet Misfortune (Virtues and Vices of the Old West #2) by Maggie Brendan -- Review

About the Book

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.

Review

Author Maggie Brendan has written a sweet Western romance that readers will enjoy.  This story brings to life some of the disadvantageous situations that single women living in the Wild West got stuck in order to earn a living and be able to feed their families and themselves.  These were rough times for single women, both young and old.  Brendan has delightfully fun characters and an enjoyable entertaining story that readers will be excited for.
