Explanation Toward Books Letter Perfect (California Historical Series #1)
IF HER OWN TWO FEET DON'T END UP TRIPPING HER, Ruth Caldwell's mouth is likely to get her into equal trouble. But Ruth has the best of intentions. Truly. It's just that her attempts to live up to her mother's expectations of how a lady should act have often yielded...well, less than impressive results.Josh McCain is speechless when he sees Ruth step off the stage in Folsom, California. Sure, it looks like she's been sleeping in her gown for the past week, but with a crown of riotous curls and those deep green eyes, she's certainly the most beautiful woman he's ever met.
But attraction is not all that causes sparks between Ruth and Josh. With Ruth's legitimate claims to an inheritance, the Broken P Ranch's future is suddenly precarious. And when Ruth's "accidents"--going beyond even her normal bumbling ways--seem to take a sinister turn, Josh must decide where his loyalties lie.

This book was a sweet, funny, easy read - a little predictable -but sometimes thats exactly what I need! Ruth Caldwell is a passionate young woman who no matter how hard she tries just cannot conform to the image that society demands she must - quiet, demure, graceful, possessing all the social graces of a fine lady. In fact, at times she is quite clumsy and what some call rude - she forgets to hold her tongue and says exactly whats on her mind at the most inappropriate times. But she has a2.5 starsI didn't really like it. This book reminded me of Fancy Pants by the same author, for all the wrong reasons. Specifically, her angry-all-the-time hero reminded me of what I disliked about the other book. Described as being "surly" he had the heroine walking on egg shells for most of the book. How is that endearing in any way? I also thought it very inorganic the way the author transitioned the H&H from angry-all-the-time guy and walking-on-egg-shells girl to sweet and affectionate
What I liked: the main character was very endearing, Ruth cannot keep clean or be graceful! And Josh, the main male lead, I appreciated the fact that he ended up embracing Ruth's flaws, instead of trying to change her. And Laney, Josh's sister, was so sweet! I especially enjoyed Ruth and Laney's scenes together.What I didn't like: the villan. And that's good, I suppose, a villan is not meant to be likeable, but he really was deranged, and to make the villan, a close family member turn out crazy
DNFSo, with so many people warning me of why I wouldn't enjoy this, why did I ever pick it up? I love humor, but this was ridiculous. Ruth is completely incompetent, she grabs table cloths instead of her napkin, she gets between a horse and her foal and she falls off street sidewalks, she even runs across the ranch yard strait through a mud puddle. That could be funny, if she had some saving grace, but she doesn't. She can't do anything with out messing it up. I shudder to think of her painting
This was an enjoyable book all and all. For those of you who may know the other authors I read and adore, I would say this was similar to reading Mary Connealy. This was my first experience with Cathy Marie Hake and I look forward to reading more of her books in the future. I am not sure if it is the pregnancy hormones or things that need to be done, but I did not zip through this book. It took me a while to read it. When I was not with it, it did not call to me like some books where I think I
Charmingly cheesy historical novel. The main character was a woman ahead of her time (and a klutz). Sweet Christian novel with a truly wicked villain. An enjoyable read.
