Prudence is an independent minded woman in a time when that is not appreciated.  She is a war widow and a business school graduate.  She finds herself finally being appreciated for her intellect instead of being denigrated for her sex.  She moves out to Montana to work as a secretary for Professor Gerritt Rhinehart.  He is an inventor who is currently working for the Union government to develop an invention that will possibly stop the war.  When Gerritt hired Prudence he didn’t realize he was getting more than he bargained for.  Prudence wanted adventure and to focus on her career.  When they meet they immediately know that their plans will become very difficult to keep.  Fighting off the attraction between the two of them and doing there jobs will be a task that may be beyond their capabilities.I really liked this story.  It was a cute love story with the steampunk feel.  It was quite fun seeing the two of them fight proprieties and their feelings.  Gerritt’s love of his work only becomes a shadow of its former intensity once he and Prudence finally decide to express their feelings and be honest with one another.  Montana during the Civil War was a territory almost untouched by modernity.  This background along with the love story sets up a great novel.  This romance novel was a quick entertaining read that you won’t want to put down.  This is the first in her Brides of Jubilee series and I personally can’t wait for the next novel.***This book was given to me for a fair and unbiased review***
