ABOUT THE BOOK
In A Vote of Confidence, the stage is set for some intriguing insight into what it was like during 1915 to be a woman in a “mans’ world.”

But stepping outside the boundaries of convention can get messy. A shady lawyer backs Gwen, believing he can control her once she’s in office. A wealthy newcomer throws his hat into the ring in an effort to overcome opposition to the health resort he’s building north of town.

My Review:
This is another wonderful historical from Robin Lee Hatcher. The plot, characters, and setting are interesting and unique. I love the concept for this new series. My one complaint is it felt a little rushed and I wish it was longer. The bad guy was one dimensional while the others came alive. Overall it is a sweet light delectable historical. I can't wait to read Gwen's fraternal twin sister Cleo's story in Fit to be Tied. Robin Lee Hatcher is a talented novelist of both contemporary and historical novels. :)
