REVIEW!!

With all this going on they also have to save their farm from being foreclosed on. Jacqueline is a prostitute looking for love in all the wrong places. Both of these women end up in the grasps of Jules McGinnis. One becomes his wife to save her families land and the other is his mistress but wants to be so much more. Secrets are unveiled. The past comes to life. Can these two women band together to save not only themselves but each other?
While this is an interesting historical fiction novel it was amazing in my eyes. I felt like there was something not quite right about the story and I'm not sure where that came into play. The pace and flow seemed to work well. The plot was good and the idea was interesting enough. The characters were different but not as dynamic as they could have been.
I almost gave up on this book but kept going. I would still recommend this book however because it was different and the author had fun writing it.
3.5 stars
