Book Review: Courting Cate

About Courting Cate: 

When This Couple Gets to Courting, Sparks Will Fly!

In Paradise, Pennsylvania, Cate Miller is known more for her sharp tongue and fiery temper than her striking appearance. Her sweet and flirty sister, Betsy, on the other hand, seems to have attracted most of the bachelors in Lancaster County!

But the sisters' wealthy father has made one hard-and-fast rule: older Cate must marry first, before younger Betsy can even start courting. Unfortunately, untamable Cate has driven away every suitor-until Pete Treger comes to town, that is.

Prodded by the men of the area, Pete turns his attention to winning Cate's hand. But is his interest true or is there a scheme at play?

Book 1 in The Courtships of Lancaster County series.

MY THOUGHTS

Cate is a girl who had to grow up early, she has put up walls which make her seem unapproachable, even a bit snooty.  The story line was very good, with a great twist, and although this was one of those books where the characters frustrated me at times, I enjoyed it.  It will be interesting to see where this story leads as the series continues.  I wonder if the girls' father will become more lenient, or what will happen with the remaining daughters in the story!
