Book Description:
Ruth Caldwell has always tried to live up to her mother’s expectations of what a lady should be…often with less than impressive results. But when she’s forced to journey west to meet the father she’s never seen, Ruth hopes that this might be the place she’ll finally fit in. But her arrival brings about more mayhem than even Ruth is used to. She soon meets Josh McCain, the son of her father’s business partner, but discovers some startling news: Her father passed away years ago. And though Josh urges Ruth to claim her inheritance, he grows suspicious of something more sinister at hand when her "accidents" seem to go beyond Ruth’s normal bumbling ways and leave her very life in danger.

This won't be considered helpful, but it is. This book is horrible. I bought it because I like the cover, it costed only $4 and the reviews on the back. At first it was engaging, but then the book lacked plot and the character and the story were really dry. Overall, it was a waste of my time and money. I DON"T recommend this book it was horribly written.

Another winner from Cathy Marie Hake. She is now, along with DeeAnne Gist, among my absolute favorite Christian fiction authors. The character Ruth was the perfect example of sweetness and imperfection--someone that you'd want for your best friend if she could walk out of the pages of the book.

This was a wonderful book about a girl that didn't fit in, in her world then her mom died and she went to her father only to find that he had died before she meant him. It's a great story I had a hard time putting it down, I can't wait for this author to write more books I will be sure to read them. Theresa

If her own two feet don't end up tripping her. Ruth Caldwell's mouth is likely to get her into equal trouble. But Ruth has the best of intentions. Truly, It's jus that her attempts to live up to her mother's expections of how a LADY should act have often yielded...well., less than impressive results.

This is a woman after my own heart. This is a really good story of a woman TRYING to be a lady and then discovers how to be herself overcoming incredible cirsumstances. I really liked this book.

This is the first book I read by Cathy Marie Hake. I just love her writing! This book was excellent in so many ways. It had comedy, it had suspense, it had mystery, it had it all. I loved the characters! Ruth is absolutely hilarious and Laney is just so sweet and innocent. I can't wait to read Laney's story in Bittersweet! 5 stars!! I loved it!

This is a wonderful story about Ruth who thinks she is a total misfit. She has been to many finishing schools trying to learn to be a lady, and failed miserably. No matter how hard she tries, she is always a mess - her dresses are soiled, her hair is always falling out of it's pins and she
is constantly putting her foot in her mouth. My kind of gal!
This book has humor, suspense, romance and I found it to be very interesting.

What a wonderful book! This book has it all. First, it's an historical, my favorite, in the American west, also a favorite. Then lots of laughter, a loving family, a few tears, mystery, a little romance, and God's Word woven throughout without being preachy. Highly recommend.

This was an enjoyable book all and all. For those of you who may know the other authors I read and adore, I would say this was similar to reading Mary Connealy. This was my first experience with Cathy Marie Hake and I look forward to reading more of her books in the future.



I am not sure if it is the pregnancy hormones or things that need to be done, but I did not zip through this book. It took me a while to read it. When I was not with it, it did not call to me like some books where I think I will go crazy if I do not read the next page. However, I did like it overall.



I laughed, thought about crying, got angry, and snickered too. This story contained a wealth of emotions and a good couple handful of humor. The characters were enjoyable and some detestable just as they should be. I saw clues to what would happen and anticipated the next scene as if it were a film.



Easily, this is a read that I recommend.

Ruth Caldwell seems to always be tripping up. She attempts to live up to her expectations of how a lady should act with less than impressive results.

Josh McCain is speechless when he sees Ruth step off the stage looking like she's been sleeping in her gown for the past week. It is soon to be realized that Ruth is legitmate claim to the Broken P Ranch, owned by Josh and his dad. Accidents seem to go beyond the norm for Ruth. Why is someone trying to harm her? Josh must decide where his loyalties lie.

Loved this book!

This book was very engaging. The main character is encouraged to be who God made her to be, rather than who she thinks she SHOULD be. Interesting plot and wonderful characters! Great historical inspirational romance!
