Otherwise Engaged by Joanna Barker, Blog Tour & Giveaway!!!
Book Summary:
She’s never been afraid of breaking the rules—until she risks breaking her heart
Constantly stifled by the rules of Society, spirited Rebecca Rowley enjoys finding ways to quietly—or not so quietly—rebel. But riding bareback and avoiding nosy neighbors are nothing compared to the thrilling secret she is keeping from her family.
When Rebecca’s quick thinking saves the life of a young girl, she unwittingly attracts the attention of the child’s dashing brother, Lieutenant Nicholas Avery. As that attention turns flirtatious, Rebecca is forced to tell him the truth: she is secretly engaged—to the one man her family would never approve of. Fortunately, Lieutenant Avery is a navy man with no wish to marry, or so they both assume as they enter into a friendship. Rebecca hopes to change her family’s mind about her betrothed, but the more she comes to know the handsome lieutenant, the more she wonders if she promised her hand too hastily.
After all her carefully laid plans are shattered during a family crisis, Rebecca must force her heart to decide. Should she stay true to the promise she made or fight for the future she’s only just begun to imagine?
My Review:
I was instantly pulled out of my world and into Rebecca’s and honestly, I never wanted to leave. Rebecca was such a refreshing character, she could not seem to help saying what she felt and doing what she wanted to do. I admired her tenacity and her spirit; she was going to do whatever it was she put her mind to doing! She made me smile and laugh out loud while reading. Especially the comment about the preacher! Her interactions with Lieutenant Avery had me swooning inside! I don’t want to give anything away so I will just say, I LOVED this story. Period. If you want a fantastic story with wonderful characters, then this is that book!
Happy Reading!!!
