Lucinda Sharpe has spent ten years overcoming her past. Her former guardian, the not-so-Rev. Hundall, called her "the daughter of Satan." As a recent graduate of Miss Hattie's School for the Refinement of Young Ladies, Lucinda has escaped the Hundalls and her past to begin her career as a schoolteacher. What a shock when she arrives in Dickshooter, Idaho Territory and meets her pupils. Oh, my! The students aren't scrubbed and darling children; they're prostitutes.Lucinda is forced to remain in the Comfort Palace...hotel until the next stage. In the meantime, she meets the owner Reese McAdams. He is nothing like she expected, and she is amazed she almost likes him. But the Comfort Palace women convince Lucinda to remain and teach them to read and write and set in motion another wonderful story by Jacquie Rogers. MUCH ADO ABOUT MADAMS is the first of a series, and I am eager to read the rest of the books. I was pleased that the Gardner sisters from MUCH ADO ABOUT MARSHALS made an appearance, although their time was too short. I hope for a book about Iris Gardner in the future.I won't give away the details of MUCH ADO ABOUT MADAMS, but this is a fun read with surprises!
