The Cautious Maiden By Dawn Crandall


Violet Hawthorne is beyond mortified when her brother Ezra turns their deceased parents' New England country inn into a brothel to accommodate the nearby lumberjack ;but when Violet's own reputation is compromised, the inn becomes the least of her worries. In an effort to salvage her good name, Violet is forced into an engagement with a taciturn acquaintance Vance Everstone. As she prepares for a society wedding, Violet learns that her brother had staked her hand in marriage in a heated poker game with the unsavory Rowen Steele, and Ezra had lost. Now Rowen is determined to cash in on his IOU. With danger stalking her and a new fiance who hides both his emotion and his past, Violet must decide who to trust and who to leave behind.

I'm a Contemporary kind of gal but I have to tell you something. From time to time I read Historical.
Well this book just may be one of the best Historical books that I have read. I really enjoyed it. 
Its a love story with love, and redemption. There is even a little suspense thrown in the mix. You don't want to miss this one.
If you missed the first three books don't worry, this can be read as a stand alone. 
I gave this book 4 stars. I recommend this one.
 I received this book for free. A favorable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.
