The setting is the mid to late 1800’s. Gennie craved an adventure. She wanted to live a life like the heroine in her favorite novels. Her father had planned a marriage for her. However, life with Chandler did not appeal to her. When an opportunity for an adventure arises, she grabbed it. She headed West pretending to be a servant hired to care for a motherless child. She wanted an adventure and she found one. She soon found herself falling in love with her employer Daniel and Charlotte. She could return to Boston where it is safe or take a chance of experiencing rejection.
The Confidential Life of Eugenia Cooper is an excellent read. This is Kathleen Y’Barbo at her best. I love westerns and this one is perfect. Y’Barbo adds just the right amount of humor to her plot. A pretend wedding, danger from miners, a child easy to love, an employer with a secret are among the many twists in this delightful tale. Y’Barbo takes the reader on an action packed, fast paced adventure. The romance in this book is exquisite. I could easily relate to Eugenia. There were several moments when I laughed aloud, although I was rather embarrassed when all the other diners turned to look at me. I love this book and highly recommend it.
