The Reluctant Suitor (The Studs of Clear Creek County Book #5) by Stacy-Deanne – Review by Angela Hayes

The Reluctant Suitor: BWWM Historical Western by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 Stars

The Reluctant Suitor is the fifth book in The Studs of Clear Creek County Series by Stacy-Deanne. This is a BWWM (interracial)- historical- small town- western romance with forbidden lovers, age gap, blackmail, a tormented hero a bit of an enemies to lovers aspect, chemistry, challenges, drama, emotion, choices, fighting for what’s right, staying true to yourself, following your heart, racial challenges, inequality, and finding love unexpectedly.
This is a novella length story, which made for a very quick and easy read. And as I say with most of her shorter stories, I really would have liked to have read a longer version of this, with more detail, depth, and development- which would have allowed me to really immerse myself into the story and connect with the characters and their story much more- I’m greedy like that.
This story sees Billie Jean take on one of the largest and most powerful landholder families about the working/living conditions of their workers. As she gears up for a fight in order to ensure her message is heard and acceptable changes are made, the last thing she expects, or needs right then, is to start to fall for the enemy- in the form of the wealthy property supervisor Fisher Hines. That will definitely cause problems, for both of them. Will love win out in the end? Or will the flames of love be doused by the challenges they face?
The Studs of Clear Creek County Series contains:
-The White Knight Cowboy (Book #1)
-The Forlorn Cowboy (Book #2)
-The Lavish Cowboy (Book #3)
-The Lovelorn Cowboy (Book #4)
-The Reluctant Suitor (Book #5)
Happy reading!

Thank you, Stacy-Deanne!
