I loved this book!  First of all, it is book length, not a novella.  Second, there is a strong female main character who knows her worth and a male character that is strong enough to not care that his woman has more money than he has.  Third, this is a book with a wonderful plot.  If I could give it 10 stars I would!  I stayed up all night because I couldn’t stop reading, I saw the sun rise!OK, on to the review.  This story is primarily about Isabel.  She has been working as an unpaid servant for her brothers when she finally gets fed up and asks her Aunt Winifred if she can move in with her.  Isabel has been visiting Winifred for years and sharing the stories that she has been putting on paper.  Unknown to Isabel, Winifred has been selling them to magazines and has put all proceeds in account for her. Winifred recommends that she move out west to live in a house that she has inherited from a distant cousin.  Isabel didn’t know that the cousin was very wealthy and owned most of the businesses in the town.  While she is there, she meets the sheriff, Deputy Bill Hutchison.  Deputy Hutch gets off to a bad start with Isabel by spanking her when she didn’t deserve it and then kissing her in front of the town gossip.  But, he apologizes (I know, when does that happen?) and asks to court her.  Isabel stands up to the misogynist men in the town and states what she is going to do and does it.  She rescues Sarah and helps her find herself.  Hutch defers to her in matters of her inheritance and her work.  But, in matters of her safety, Isabel defers to Hutch, or her bottom pays for it.I really enjoyed this story.  I hope that Ms. Starr continues on with Hutch and Isabel’s story and also Sarah and Ben’s.  I would love to read about it!
