Review: The Swindler's Daughter by Stephenia H McGee

Blurb: 

A surprise inheritance. A cache of family secrets. A choice that will change her life forever.

Lillian Doyle has lived her entire high-society life with her widowed mother, believing her father died long ago. But when news arrives that her estranged father only recently passed away--in jail--Lillian is startled to find that the man has left a business and all of his possessions to her, making her a rather unusual heiress.

When she goes to take possession of her father's house in a backwoods Georgia town, the dilapidated structure is already occupied by another woman who claims it was promised to her son, Jonah. In her attempts to untangle the mess, Lillian will discover not only a family she never knew she had but a family business that is more than meets the eye--and has put a target on her back.

To discover the truth and take hold of the independence she's always dreamed of, she'll have to make friends with adversaries and strangers--especially Jonah, the dusty and unrefined cowboy who has secret aspirations of his own.

My Review: 

I have always loved reading books from Stephenia H McGee and was excited to have the opportunity to read her newest release, The Swindler's Daughter. I was far from being disappointed. This is one of my favorites I have read by her and one of the top ten reads of the year for me. I adored the characters, Jonah and Lillian. I loved the setting and thought the plot to be a unique one that had me delightfully entertained from start to finish.  

I am giving The Swindler's Daughter a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers and fans of clean historical romance. As always, I will be looking for more stories like this from Stephenia H McGee in the future. 

I received a paperback copy of The Swindler's Daughter from the publisher, but was not required to write a review, nor a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
