After waiting three long years for Amos Dewey to pop the question, August Mudd knows she has to do something to convince him to marry her. Gussie's plan involves her friend and employee, Rome Akers. She asks Rome to pretend to court her in order to make Amos jealous. If Rome is willing to do this, she will then make him a partner in her business. Rome jumped at the chance to be co-owner of the most successful business in town. He didn't plan on falling in love with Gussie. Soon he'd do anything to help Gussie to the altar...but only if he's the groom.
I usually love Pamela Morsi's historical romances, but this one was very hard for me to get through. The first 150 pages were so slow, I almost gave up on this book. The pace did pick up in the middle of the story, but not enough to give this book a good rating. My rating: 2.5 Stars.

Very unusual time period to be writing about. A light read with underdeveloped characters to a certain extent.
