Review: Joyful Ride

I was pleasantly surprised to find myself enjoying the characters in this book so quickly. Let's be honest, a free Kindle book in the "bodice ripping" genre can be a lot of fun to read, but the characters usually don't endear themselves to the reader.I loved the banter between Bess and the earl. It was lively, fun and even somewhat realistic. That Bess behaved more like a woman of our times and that is what attracted the earl to her was great. I love strong willed women characters, especially in period romance novels where it is almost never seen.Definitely recommend this for a light summer read or to heat up a cold winter night. A lot of "slow build" moments with a bit of sex but not too over the top.
