MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The more I read by Chautona Havig, the more I realize just what a talent she has. Words seem to flow effortlessly from this lady no matter what genre she decides to tackle. Whether it is mystery\/suspense, contemporary romance, or a historical western, I have found that I can expect a few hours of reading enjoyment.<\/p>\n

The Trouble With Nancy<\/strong> certainly met my expectations. Nancy, the heroine was a feisty and determined young woman who decided to step up and help save her family home despite the fact that she was woefully ill-equipped to take her brother’s place as a rider for the Pony Express. As I rode alongside Nancy in my imagination for all those harrowing miles as she bounced along painfully, I experienced hardship, danger, some unsavory characters, and even a few who went out of their way to help. A surprise romance added the perfect icing to the cake. I found myself laughing out loud at some of Nancy’s exploits one moment and holding my breath during others.<\/p>\n

I particularly loved how Nancy grew closer to the Lord through her experiences and matured from a silly, self-absorbed girl into a wise and caring young woman. I am thankful that I had the chance to read this great book and hope that there will be more of this type coming soon.<\/p>\n

Her reputation precedes her, whether the bad guys realize it or not.<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

Nancy Harrison has finally stepped out of her prissy box and tried to do something helpful\u2013but did she go overboard in her first self-less act?<\/p>\n

She can\u2019t ride, she hates horses, and she\u2019s terrified of being alone. What\u2019s a girl to do?<\/p>\n

Join the Pony Express, of course.<\/p>\n

When Nancy Harrison\u2019s family receives a tax bill they can\u2019t pay, there\u2019s only one option open to them. Her brother, Lewis, will have to join the Pony Express and earn the money that way.<\/p>\n

It would have worked, too, if ruffians hadn\u2019t attacked him and broken his leg.<\/p>\n

She doesn\u2019t want to do it, of course, but what choice is there? Lose everything or ride a stupid, smelly horse for a few weeks? Nancy decides that she\u2019ll chop off her hair, take to the dusty overland trail, and prove that she isn\u2019t a \u201cflighty little thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

But things go from bad to worse as she discovers that riding astride is worse than sidesaddle\u2014especially when you\u2019re not used to it.<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t she just go back home to balls, teas, and the hope of a suitor before her twentieth birthday? Sans her hair, of course, because that\u2019ll entice the fellows. Sigh.<\/p>\n
