Love in Disguise, (Paperback)

My THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK It's been a while since I read a Penny Zeller book and I was so glad to be able to read and review this one. Thad Alexander Evanson and Emilie Crawford Wheeler both had side by side Ranches, but they have never met. Until one day in town when Thad bumped into Emilie, knocking her prize hat to the grown, never to be worn again because of its condition. Why oh why hadn't Thad been watching the boardwalk instead of that new shinny Model T he wanted so bad, because now he has to buy this pretty lady a new hat. Emilie was frustrated at herself because now her beautiful new hat was ruined. I've always loved the humor in Zeller's books, and this one is no different. From Emilie's anger about the Rancher next door and his cows trampling her prize flowers to Thads trips to Miss Julia Mathilda's Fine Dresses to replace Emilie's hat, Penny Zeller had me chuckling many times. I did get frustrated at Emilie though because she didn't make it a priority to go meet the neighbor and confront him. Instead she was easy to assume a ranch hand was the owner. I love these fun energetic characters! Their development throughout the story make the story so realistic and encouraging. I couldn't help but think back to the days when the first cars were being purchased and what it would be like as well as imagining the people and the little towns and Ranches and what fun it would be living in that era. Except for the electricity, I like my flow of lights and everything else that comes with it. There is much to be desired throughout this book. The trips to Missoula for Emilie and Thad to meet, because each thought the other lived there. The new Model T's that were just newly hitting the country, mostly for those with money. And Thad's troublesome cows and Emilie's beautiful flowers. If you enjoy a good clean Christian fiction, you will love Love in Disguise by Penny Zeller. I love that Penny always weaves faith in the lives of her characters and makes sure she tells the way to Jesus in her stories. And she does it in a nice subtle way. I gladly give Love in Disguise Five Stars. A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone.
