Emily is ready for a change. For the last six months she’d been living a lie that she was grieving for her dead husband. Why? She didn’t want to hurt his family, but he wasn’t what they thought he was. Her husband had died six months ago in a car accident, and no one but her knew that he was cheating on her throughout their short marriage. She’s decided that she wants to go out and find a man to remind her that she is sexy. In order to do that she goes to a country dance in a town that is supposed to be mostly men. Little does she know that she’s about to get the ride of her life.
Saber has been looking for female mates for his brothers. He’s not looking for himself, because he thinks that he is too old and there is no chance for him to find one. When the town decided to have these dances to attract different women from the city, he was all for it. He’s hoping that his brothers will have some good luck with their search, in the way that he hasn’t. When he sees Emily at the dance, he starts to wonder if it will be his brothers or him that will get lucky tonight.
Emily needs to get her self confidence back, and Saber is certainly the man
to help her do it. She doesn’t want to get tied down again, because her
trust was completely destroyed from her previous marriage. To make
matters worse, Saber has a secret that he can’t tell her, and it’s
tearing him apart.
I had a great time reading this book, and I thought that Emily was a good character. She has finally decided to stand up for herself, and it was something to see. Saber is a strong man, but seems resigned to his fate until he meets Emily. I enjoyed seeing these two pair off and help each other overcome their loneliness. Saber’s brothers add some fun to the mix, and the book keeps your attention until it’s done. I’m sure there will be a sequel to this great story. The Scarlet Woman is a great book to read for a cold winter’s night.
