Narration Supposing 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.

Oh I absolutely love this book!! Ruth is hilarious and had me laughing quite a bit! :) Since I can't remember a lot of the book to say on this review, I definitely need to read it again soon! Perhaps a proper review will come later on in the future! ;)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.
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
Ruth Caldwell is a puzzle. She has been kicked out of one finishing school after another, her natural clumsiness making her a hapless conundrum. When Ruth is sent home again, she is devastated to learn her mother's health is failing. Even more surprising, she learns that her mother has contacted her father, whom Ruth has never met, and asked him to take Ruth in after she passes. When the time comes, Ruth boards the stage and heads off to California for a very unknown future.Her situation is even
2.5 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
It figures that I would read Bittersweet before Letter Perfect even though I rented them from the library at the same time. Reading the two books in reverse chronological order was not detrimental to the story though. I like the characterization of Ruth and Josh. Their gradual learning to trust, admire, and love each other could have been a little better though. Ruth's penchant for finding dirt and trouble was both a part of her character and part of the plot. Many of the more minor characters
I bought this book from my library off a whim, I had no idea what it was about, I just thought the cover looked really pretty. There is a reason they say to not judge a book by it's cover, and I learned that while reading this book. I really struggled to read through this whole book, it took me about 2 months to actually finish it. The characters were very bland and didn't have much development. There was also a few things that were mentioned that seemed important to the plot but were never
