Review: Historical Romance Done Right!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 27, 2013
Historical romance is sometimes a genre that I struggle with reading. If they are well written (think The Other Boleyn Girl) then I generally enjoy them, but sometimes I find myself getting bored. I had none of these issues with Lady Broke. From the first page, I was swept up into a story that was equal parts steamy romance and western adventure.Readers of P&P; probably know that I adore a good heroine and Donnelly delivers. Christie is kind of an engima, at one moment brashy and ballsy, in another shy, optimistic, demure. One of the the things I loved most about her was that she knows her own mind. She is strong enough and brave enough to buck convention and go after what she wanted: freedom.A band of robber brothers threaten her freedom and her safety. With a troubled bounty hunter on the trail, will Christie make it out safe and sound. Donnelly crafted a story that keeps its readers on their tiptoes. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. Overall, it's really good stuff.Disclaimer: I was gifted an e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. However, all opinions expressed are my own.
