Addie: To Wager on Her Future (Other Pens, Mansfield Park book 5) by Leenie Brown – Review by Cassi Rogers

Addie: To Wager on Her Future by Leenie Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Addie: To Wager on Her Future by Leenie Brown is book 5 in the Mansfield Park series. This book wasn’t necessarily out of my comfort zone, but something that I wouldn’t normally pick to read because of the writing style. I decided to read this book because of the horse racing reference, as I have spent a lot of time out with my family watching horse races. Overall, I thought the book was great. There was the perfect amount of suspense, action, and emotion. The characters were all strong and well developed. Most of them have charming personalities and are easy to love. Addie was my favorite character. She is different than all the other women in her time, who are taught life is just about looks and finding a husband who matches well. She thinks outside of the box and loves horses and racing. Her brother, James, has been off at school and has made some poor decisions that have got him into trouble. Addie is doing her best to keep things in good standing and out of harm’s way, as things in her life seem to be falling apart. Robert is taken with Addie the first time he meets her and will do whatever he can to ensure her happiness, even if that means taking on the despicable Mr. Camden. This book was short and sweet and I am happy that I read it; it is a good book to curl up all cozy like and spend the afternoon reading.
