The third book in The Inconvenient Bride series, is perhaps the best of the three in that the story had more substance and was less frivolous. Liberty Ann Justice took over the Tribune newspaper and printing press in Laramie as editor after the death of her father, with her brother's assistance. Once she has her hands on the reins, she starts to produce editorials on the women's suffrage movement and equal rights, much to the consternation of the owner of the newspaper, RT Savage, in San Francisco. When Donovan arrives carrying Andrew Savage's bag with his initials on, she jumps to conclusions and Donovan decides on the spur of the moment to play along. Before they know it, Libby and Donovan are up to their necks in subterfuge and confusion and Libby ends up taking an unplanned visit to San Francisco with Donovan, where an unprecedented number of surprises await them. Despite both Donovan and Libby being challenged by events, they nevertheless have an undeniable attraction flaring up between them, which adds to the already stressful situation. Liberty as the heroine is a delightful character in her spontaneity and forthrightness, whilst Donovan is a gentleman at heart, although an opportunist brought about by his upbringing. There were a few typos that had me confused, but they did not detract from the story. This is an enjoyable romance with a fair amount of history regarding the early days of the suffragette movement. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review
