My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Blurb:
When passion for justice conflicts with the heart, which will prevail?
Noreen O'Sullivan is an enthusiastic member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and believes herself called to defend the cause of prohibition. When she's invited to join the Secret Society of Spinsters, Noreen jumps at the chance to rally others to her movement and shut down the local saloon for good. However, her passionate campaigning often puts her at odds with the men around her--including the local deputy.
Deputy James Paxton believes in preserving the peace, but Miss O'Sullivan has been disturbing his peace for months. If James wants to be elected sheriff, he can't afford to be seen as her ally. But when Noreen ropes him into helping her plan a temperance march, their growing closeness sparks unexpected feelings. Then tensions escalate at the saloon and accusations fly. James must choose between upholding his badge and protecting the woman who's captured his heart--knowing either choice could cost him everything.
Karen Witemeyer presents a swoony Western romance with a determined heroine, cowboys, prohibition, and the rivals-to-lovers and duty vs. desire tropes. Fans of Mary Connealy and frontier romances set in the Old West will savor this clean, historical read.

My Review:
Karen Witemeyer is among my favorite historical fiction authors and I was excited to find out that she was releasing a new series called The Secret Society of Spinsters. I was honored to have a chance to read the first book, Taming Lady Temperance. It was a joy go back in time to the western frontier and meeting the main characters, Noreen and James. I thought the two had great chemistry and was a delight seeing how the two interacted with one another. Even though the story was from a different moment in time, it still covers issues that still affect in the present day. It was a great reminder of the power of forgiveness, love, determination, and faith. I loved every single page.
I am going to give Taming Lady Temperance a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who love to read clean historical romance. I am eagerly awaiting for the release for the next installment from The Secret Society of Spinsters series to find out what Karen Witemeyer has in store for her readers, characters, and fans.
I received a paperback copy of Karen Witemeyer's Taming Lady Temperance 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.
