Blurb:
The mercantile owner’s eccentric daughter is known for being bad at everything, so how could she possibly win enough votes to become mayor?
When Raven Owens volunteers at the school, she makes the mistake of telling the girls they can do anything they put their minds to. When a student challenges that assertion by daring her to run for mayor, what choice does she have? Running for office will likely get her laughed clean out of the territory, but when has ridicule ever stopped her before?
Panicked over Raven running for mayor, the town council nominates Bowen McGill to run against her. Bo has no interest in becoming a politician like his disgraced father, but Raven cares more about the town than the men queuing up to run against her. If Bo stays on the ballot to keep worse men from running, she might have a chance to be heard. However, she’d never forgive him if he won—and for some reason, that thought bothers him far more than the possibility of ending up with a job he doesn’t want.
Long-held grudges, unexpected attraction, and a scheming town council make it difficult for these two to decide if they’d prefer to win the race—or each other’s hearts.
My Review:
It has a few years since I have seen a new book from Melissa Jagears. She has been among my favorite authors and I was so very excited to hear she finally had an upcoming release, Wooing the Rival. It was an honor to have the chance to read it. It is the fifth installment from her Frontier Vows series. Even though it is part of a series, it can easily be read as a stand alone. I loved going back in time and meeting up with Raven and Bo. I felt an instant connection to Raven and could see myself in her. It was fun and entertaining to be thrown into this adventure that was full of suspense, humor, love, and some important life lessons. I loved every single page of it and could not put it down until the very end. A perfect way to spend on a beautiful fall day on my back deck.
I am going to give Wooing the Rival a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who love to read clean historical romance. I hope to read Melissa Jagears will be releasing more in the nearest future. I can never get enough of her books.
I received a digital copy of Melissa Jagears' Wooing the Rival from the author, but was not required to write a review, nor a positive one. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
