Letter Perfect (California Historical Series #1)
Accident prone Ruth Caldwell has been to many different finishing
schools but never seems to make it through because she just can’t conform to
the expectations of refinement for women of her day.
When her mother dies she goes west to find her father. When she
arrives she learns he has died and she’s half owner of the ranch he held.
The love interest in this historical romance is Josh McCain, the
son of her father's business partner. As
the story unfolds we learn that there’s more afoot due to Josh’s unscrupulous
father who has designs on getting his hands on Ruth’s fortune.
I liked the concept of a woman not being able to conform to the
standards of the day and Ruth’s low self-esteem thinking she’s worthless. It’s
a good message, but overall I didn’t find the humorous situations the author
tried to set up and the characters all that captivating and several times I
almost gave up on the book as it wasn’t all that riveting. Even the auxiliary characters
seemed to be more padding to get to a certain word count than they were of
importance to the plot. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.
