Review: Winning the Schoolmarm

Review: Winning the Schoolmarm, by Lacy Williams, 5 stars



Swirling rumors forced Cecilia White out of the teaching job she loved. She vowed not to get involved with a man again—no matter what. But when the term begins at a new schoolhouse in a new town, disaster strikes. No matter what she does, she can’t seem to escape the handsome, single chairman of the school board.

John Morgan has a secret. He’s not who he says he is. He’ll do anything to protect and provide for his young sister—including cozying up to the prickly schoolmarm.

Sparks fly and Cecilia must deny her heart if she hopes to keep her job. But what’s more important? Duty or love?


Genre: historical romance

Publication date: February 2020

Mature content: no

Review: I loved reading Winning the Schoolmarm. The characters are all great and the small town vibe just perfect. There's a hint of suspense at the beginning, both from John and Cecilia's past, and that hint will turn into a few interesting twists and turns along the way. 

I admired John for his efforts in turning his and his sister's lives around, away from the shady past of their parents. And I admired Cecilia for her patience with her sometimes difficult students.

 

Overall, Winning the Schoolmarm is a sweet, clean romance between two people that seem perfect for each other right from the start. John and Cecilia do have their happily ever after, but at the end of the book there's a lead into the next book in the series (featuring Cecilia's sister) - which I have to confess now I'm very curious about...

This is book 14 in the Wind River Hearts series but it can be perfectly read as a stand alone. I didn't read any of the previous books and I had no difficulties either with the story or with the characters.

Recommended!

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are strictly my own. 

Happy readings!
