MY REVIEW:
The Confidential Life of Eugenia Cooper is a light-hearted romantic romp that takes young Gennie Cooper from her sheltered privileged life in New York City to the western frontier of Colorado. An avid secret reader of western dime novels, her one desire is to have one wild west adventure like her favorite heroine Mae Winslow before she settles down as a proper banker’s wife. When a fortuitous opportunity presents itself, Gennie sets off on an impulsive westward journey by rail and finds that her wild west adventure just might be more than she anticipated.
Gennie is an endearing character who seems to invite disaster wherever she goes. Coupled with that, several misunderstandings create a wealth of humorous situations that keep the reader laughing out loud. An unexpected romance further complicates the situation.
The Confidential Life of Eugenia Cooper is pure unadulterated entertainment with a subtle faith based message. If you are a fan of Mary Connealy, this book might be right up your alley.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
The future is clearly mapped out for New York socialite Eugenia “Gennie” Cooper, but she secretly longs to slip into the boots of her favorite dime-novel heroine and experience just one adventure before settling down. When the opportunity arises, Gennie jumps at the chance to experience the Wild West, but her plans go awry when she is drawn into the lives of silver baron Daniel Beck and his daughter and finds herself caring for them more than is prudent–especially as she’s supposed to go back to New York and marry another man.
As Gennie adapts to the rough-and-tumble world of 1880s Colorado, she must decide whether her future lies with the enigmatic Daniel Beck or back home with the life planned for her since birth. The question is whether Daniel’s past–and disgruntled miners bent on revenge–will take that choice away from her.
