About the Book The Trouble with Nancy

Book: The Trouble with Nancy

Author: Chautona Havig

Genre: Christian Historical Romance, Western

Release Date: July 18, 2019

Her reputation precedes her, whether the bad guys realize it or not.

Nancy Harrison has finally stepped out of her prissy box and tried to do something helpful–but did she go overboard in her first self-less act?

She can’t ride, she hates horses, and she’s terrified of being alone. What’s a girl to do?

Join the Pony Express, of course.

When Nancy Harrison’s family receives a tax bill they can’t pay, there’s only one option open to them. Her brother, Lewis, will have to join the Pony Express and earn the money that way.

It would have worked, too, if ruffians hadn’t attacked him and broken his leg.

She doesn’t want to do it, of course, but what choice is there? Lose everything or ride a stupid, smelly horse for a few weeks? Nancy decides that she’ll chop off her hair, take to the dusty overland trail, and prove that she isn’t a “flighty little thing.”

But things go from bad to worse as she discovers that riding astride is worse than sidesaddle—especially when you’re not used to it.

Can’t she just go back home to balls, teas, and the hope of a suitor before her twentieth birthday? Sans her hair, of course, because that’ll entice the fellows. Sigh.

My Thoughts on The Trouble with Nancy:

I love absolutely everything I have ever read by Chautona Havig.  Her style is unlike anyone else I’ve ever read and I literally cannot stop reading her books.  I download the free weekly kindle books and she’s the reason I got the Kindle unlimited subscription. 

Seriously cannot say enough good things about Chautona. 

So, if you’ve never read one of her books go get one now! 

I’ll wait. 

Got one? 

Read it. 

Shouldn’t take too long. 

Then come back and you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. 

Now onto The Trouble with Nancy and what I thought of this particular title.  Nancy is spoiled and selfish and has no stick to it ness.  She proclaims big things but then she doesn’t follow through.  And she’s not physically pretty.  Part of that might have to do with how she carries herself and the inside shining through.

But when push comes to shove Nancy steps up to save her family from losing their house.  Her brother was going to ride for the Pony Express and can’t after his leg gets broken.  So instead Nancy chops her hair and sets off on the back of a horse. 

But is she really working for the Pony Express? And will they truly not know she’s a she instead of a he?  Plus what about the fact that she can’t ride?  How does that factor in?

Will Nancy earn the money needed or perish on the trail?  Will her secret be discovered?  Can she save their home before it’s too late?

Meanwhile, why are people searching the house at night?  Lewis knows what he’s hearing but he can’t make the connection why they’d want to search their house unless someone wants them out of the house?  But why?

While Nancy gallops across the country trying to hide her secret Lewis sets out to discover the mystery at home while convalescing from his broken leg.  It’s a  great story with lots of twists.  And I love the Scottish cook.  Or is he really a cook?

Definitely a highly recommend.  Go read it now and then read the rest of this series as they are super fun as well.
