A Real Man for Ruth Reviews
-
When Ruth became a sudden orphan in England, she had her choice of soft, pudgy men to marry. But she yearned for a "real man" like the ones she read about in dime novels packed with supplies for her father's gunsmith shop. So, she decided to sell the shop and hire a marriage broken to find her a husband from the American West.
The Colorado husband she found was named Amos and more "real man" than she had hoped. He came with a house full of women -- Elizabeth, his soon to be married sister; Martha, an ex-slave who had been cooking and running the house; and Anne, a teenager he bought from her abusive father though Amos planned to give her a good home till she could find a husband.
This is a sweet traditional western with secrets to be discovered and lots of sexual tension. -
