How to Treat a Lady by Karen Hawkins

I don't see how Harriet and Chase fell in love, there was hardly any romance. The minute Chase agreed to pretend to be Harriet's fiancé, the story kind of stalled. I found myself skimming the last few chapters. This wasn't the best read of the Talisman Ring series.

Finally!!! Finally I got around to a good Karen Hawkins book. I read the first book in this series and it was fantastic! The second one was a disappointment and her other books were equally a let down. I had almost given up on this author. But this book was great. I loved it. I enjoyed it. I had fun with it. It was sweet and funny and filled with great characters. I love the St. John clan and now the Ward family has joined with their eccentric nature and deep family bond. This book was testily amazing! And yes, I loved Chase.

This was a fast, fun read. I adored Chase and Harriet. The "lost" memory. The fake fiance. Every last bit of it was spectacular. Harriet was strong, determined, level headed while Chase was a little lost but determined to do the right thing for once, if going about it in the wrong way. He was willing to play along with the fake fiance farce, knowing that it was fake, because it was the right thing to do. Harriet was less willing, but she played along for the sake of her family. The bank man was horrible and was determined  to see them fail so that he could marry Harriet as a way for them to keep the farm. Chase was great with the family; he really stepped up with all of the farm chores. The sheep shearing was hysterical. I loved how his brothers handled Harry situation, especially since the man he hired almost killed Chase. I adored this book and cannot wait for the next book!

A fun easy read. The ending seemed a bit rushed as the recognition of love, bank loans, fraud case, and brothers finding Chase, everything gets sorted out in one go!

"3 out of 5 stars. It was a very cute story. More tamed then I would have liked but it still kept my interest, wanting to see where this sweet romance between Chase and Harriet would lead."
