Description

Denied entrance into vet school because of her gender, fiery and determined Jillian Matthews trained at her father's side and then headed west to Montana Territory after answering an ad using only her father's initials and last name.  She is convinced that her skills will override local ranchers prejudice.  She's wrong and handsome Wade Parker, the one who hired her, is the first to make his displeasure public.  But Jillian refuses to back down and sets out to win Wade's approval.  Soon that's not all she hopes to win.

Widower Wade Parker is furious the new vet he helped hire is a woman.  The fact that she's beautiful, smart and wakes parts of him that he thought dead burns even more.  Feeling tricked, Wade is determined to send her back east but when the town turns on Jillian and her enemies become dangerous, he steps up to be her protector.  And that's not the only role Jillian has him contemplating.

    2.5 rating. A strange story. Definitely longer than it needed to be. Takes place in 1882. Jillian wanted to be a vet like her father. “A man’s job.” Moves west to to a small town in Montana. Needless to say, didn’t go over well. She falls in love with Wade, who has his own prejudices and she meets good friends. Basically it’s a story about women’s struggle for equality. The villain is out of left field. I was hoping it was her ex-fiancé. Would have been more exciting. HEA

    For a historical romance, it really wasn't very historical, I think the author really didn't know very much about that time period, I know she was trying to picture a strong female character who fought to be recognized in a male profession, but to me the character just annoying, always complaining about how unfair she's being treated and how great she is at her job. Also even if we weren't living in that time period, but in the present, anyone would be a bit mad about getting a vet that literally lied about everything, their name, their education, their experience, cause let's face it, no matter how good she thinks she is, her father was probably a bit better than her considering he was older and a lot more experienced than she had, I mean she was is her early 20's. So the town had a bit of a right to be mad at her, female or not, I mean it's like hiring Jennifer Lopez to perform for u, and what u get is a Jennifer Lopez impersonator.... It's not the same thing, no matter how much they look-a-like. So to me she just sounded a bit annoying and arrogant, cause bottom line is she lied and manipulated her way into that job, I like pioneer women but she really wasn't one. I tried but wasn't able to like her character. The rest of the story was a bit of a high school drama, like I said not very in tune with the actual time period.
