review 1: This book althought being historically interesting and the characters were good seemed to be a little slow for me. I didn't want to not finish it slow, but there was something missing and I'm not sure what it was. The ending was somewhat predictable although there were some surprises which helped me finish the last fourth of the book faster that the first part. It may have been me, I was in a position where I had to keep putting it down and picking it back up. So I'm giving it 3 stars. I liked it, but didn't put my tv, computer, sleep, etc. all to the side because I couldn't put it down, which I've been known to do. I see how the newest beginnings of stock purchases and a stock exchange back when they were still mining, taught me why there were laws in place in latter ... moreyears for those who had insider information could hurt others and so there are very stringent laws in place. There was quite a bit in history that the author had to do some research and quite a bit is included in the book. I liked it....Three stars worth.With a head more suited to bookkeeping than a bridal veil, Ida’s dreams include big business- not beaus. Ida Sinclair has joined her sisters, Kat and Nell, in the untamed mining town of Cripple Creek, Colorado for one reason: to work for the infamous but undeniably successful businesswoman, Mollie O’Bryan. Ida’s sisters may be interested in making a match for their determined older sister, but Ida only wants to build her career.Under Mollie's tutelage, Ida learns how to play the stock market and revels in her promising accomplishments. Fighting for respect in a man's world, her ambition leaves little room for distractions. She ignores her family's reservations about Mollie O'Bryan's business practices, but no matter how she tries, she can't ignore the two men pursuing her affections—Colin Wagner, the dashing lawyer, and Tucker Raines, the traveling preacher.Ida wants a career more than anything else, so she shrugs off the suitors and pointed “suggestions” that young ladies don’t belong in business. Will it take unexpected love—or unexpected danger—for Ida to realize where her priorities truly lie
review 2: Too Rich for a Bride is a really sweet story. It is the perfect read for last few days of my honeymoon. It is a very light and comfortable read.I really liked that the main character Ida is a businesswoman and not afraid to go after what she wants. The romance is a bit predictable, but it's one of those stories that, even though you might know who ends up with who, you enjoy arriving to that conclusion.I wouldn't have minded a bit more character development. One character turns out to be other than who they seem to be, but I really didn't feel like I knew them well enough to be surprised. I didn't know them enough to trust them, so it didn't feel that jeopardizing when the big reveal came along.I'm hoping that Hodgson will write more about the youngest Sinclair sister, Vivian. Like Ida, she seems quite spunky. I'll definitely read more of Hodgson in the future. less
