Tried and True - Mary Connealy (with a giveaway)

ABOUT THE BOOK - 

Kylie Wilde is the youngest sister--and the most civilized. Her older sisters might be happy dressing in trousers and posing as men, but Kylie has grown her hair long and wears skirts every chance she gets. It's a risk--they are homesteading using the special exemptions they earned serving in the Civil War as "boys"--but Kylie plans to make the most of the years before she can sell her property and return to the luxuries of life back East.

Local land agent Aaron Masterson is fascinated with Kylie from the moment her long hair falls from her cap. But now that he knows her secret, can he in good conscience defraud the U.S. government? And when someone tries to force Kylie off her land, does he have any hope of convincing her that marrying him and settling on the frontier is the better option for her future?

MY REVIEW -

I have been wanting to read a Mary Connealy book - this is my first one and now I have plans to read the rest of the series.

This story is real cute and very nicely done. Its fast paced, fun, and with just enough going on. I love a good western historical and this was a great one. I loved all the little plot twists, just enough to keep it interesting but still a quick and fun read.

The characters were what what made this book for me. I really liked Kylie and her sisters. They all had different personalities, were all unique and fun. I am hoping the rest of the series is about them, I really want to know more!

Aaron, the male lead was also very likable! I liked him right from the start. He did a few thing that I didn't like but did understand why he did them.

There were lots of cute, fun scenes along with some suspense and mystery. All-in-all a very cute, clean, quick, and very enjoyable read!

Thank you Litfuse for giving me this book for my honest review.
