May the road rise up to meet you . . .
The Civil War has ended, but for Corporal Patrick “Rick” Fergusson the battle rages on. Still haunted by what he witnessed on the battlefield, the earnest Irishman is heading west, seeking only to be free of the past. His services are in high demand; wealthy East Coasters in need of escort clamor to join him on the journey. But one client, a beautiful lady named Cat, disturbs Rick’s newfound equilibrium.
High society widow Catriona O’Brian is anxious to get to California, even if it means traveling with the handsome corporal who seems to dislike her so. Cat no longer seeks marriage; she has pinned all her hopes on making it to the west coast and starting her own winery. Between the elements, wild animals, and hostile natives, however, everything seems to be conspiring against her. Time and again, Rick comes to her rescue. And soon, the independent lass discovers that her biggest obstacle may be the longing of her own traitorous heart . . .
Review:
4 stars
Courting the Corporal by Heather McCorkle is the second book in the Emerald Belles series, but it is easily read as a standalone if you haven't had the chance to pick up the first book. It's not hard at all to follow along and I don't think you really miss out on much without reading the first.
This book dealt with a lot of tough topics, and honestly I wasn't expecting that, but it wasn't too much happening, and I thought the touch topics added to the story, and they made you see Rick and Cat better than without them.
I really liked Rick and Cat, and I thought there relationship developed at a nice pace, and it was wonderful. I thought there relationship was realistic and relatable.
I woud definitely recommend this book to any historical romance lovers out there, because this one was an amazing read.
