Book Description:
When Britisher Lady Sydney Hathwell's father dies, the American who planned to wed her suddenly reneges. Stranded in America and penniless, Sydney contacts a relative in Texas who, mistaking her male-sounding name, invites his "nephew" to join him on his ranch. "Big Tim" Creighton, however, is appalled when this mincing fop arrives at Forsaken. He determines he'll turn Fancy Pants Hathwell into a man before the boss returns home. From the get-go, he has "the kid" mucking stalls, clearing and plowing a field, and assisting with a difficult calving. But when Sydney's true identity is uncovered, Tim resents being deceived. Yet in time, he also finds that he doesn't like all the attention Sydney garners now that she's wearing pretty gowns...Together Sydney and Tim will discover the importance of family and what it means to be a man--and a woman--of God.

I loved this book! I did not read the series in order. I didn't plan it that way, but I didn't know Forevermore was part of a series when I read it first. But I really don't think it was important to read them in order, though each book does mention characters from the previous books.
Fancy Pants was full of laughs, right down to the very last sentence. I enjoyed everything about it. Cathy Marie Hake has become one of my favorite Christian authors. Looking forward to her other books.

This is a very amusing book. I loved the characters! Lady Sydney and "Syd" were both captivating. I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this book and I can't wait to read the next book in the series. Cathy Marie Hake is a treasure!

I adored this book! A great read for someone who wants to laugh and cry all in the same book reading! If you like historical fiction set in the western environment, this book is TOTALLY for you!

A very fun read! At first, I thought it was too hokey, but I really enjoyed it!
Katie H. (I was really, really looking forward to reading this novel. While I won't go so far as to say that Hake disappointed me, I just wasn't left satisfied at the end of the novel. I liked all of the characters and the premise, it's just that it seemed to move at a very slow pace. Later, however, the book fairly speeds through the budding romance between the two lead characters. They spend a great portion of the novel fighting or misunderstanding one another and all of a sudden they want to get married. Too quick. It just seemed slightly too unbelievable to me, otherwise, the book was well written and interesting.
Justina C. (I love almost all of Cathy Marie Hake's work and this was no exception.
The characters were very interesting, well fleshed out and realistic and the situations they got themselves into were great.
I really loved it.
