Find this review and more at Lusty Penguin Reviews!Sarah Sunshine, part of the Montana Romance series by Merry Farmer, is a delightful and endearing historical romance. Farmer’s attention to historical details pulls the reader into this western romance set in Montana, 1896.Finally free from her saloon contract, Sarah Withers desires to change her reputation, so she can become a respected member of the community. Always cheerful, Sarah helps anyone in town that needs it: midwife, store clerk, and the mailman. Her pleasant disposition earns her the nickname Sarah Sunshine. Sarah’s sheer determination to change makes her a compelling character, but Roy LaCroix, one of her customer’s at the saloon, is complicating her transformation. Sarah has strong feelings for Roy but is afraid her tainted reputation will hurt his position as manager of the new hotel in town. In love with Sarah, Roy patiently waits for her to figure out how to change her circumstances, even though he doesn’t think she needs to do anything, which makes Roy a wonderful leading man. Sarah thinks living at the local boarding house will help rebuild her reputation. She doesn’t realize that just being herself—kind and helpful—will do more to change how others view her. When Sarah’s past becomes the center of attention during the hotel opening, the beautiful way Roy publicly defends Sarah brought a huge smile to my face and leads to the most wonderful romantic conclusion. The way Sarah and Roy realize that they are stronger together than apart make them an adorable couple.With an independent and stubborn heroine and a dashing hero, Sarah Sunshine, is a charming historical romance that will sweep you away.I received an eBook copy of the book from the author for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility.
