My Review - Emmy's Equal

EMMY’S EQUAL is a historical romance set in South Texas. When Emmy’s father and mother decide to accompany Emmy’s Aunt Bertha to Texas to research the cattle industry, Emmy is forced to go with them. Once there, she is immediately attracted to Diego Marcelo the foreman of the sprawling Twisted-R Ranch. But she’s not the only one smitten. Cuddy Rawson the ranch owner’s son immediately takes notice of Emmy. While Cuddy acts on his feelings, Diego secretly is attracted to the fair-haired Emmy. While these three tried to sort out their feelings for one another, one calamity after another strikes Emmy’s family and Mr. Rawson as they seek after prized cattle for Aunt Bertha to purchase.

EMMY’S EQUAL was rich in storytelling and kept a pretty even pace. The uniqueness to the characters, and the circumstances that both pulled them apart and brought them together, while not altogether original, were told in a way that I felt was fresh and creative. Everyone loves an old fashioned lover’s triangle, but at times, I felt some scenes were breezed over too quickly. Overall, I enjoyed EMMY’s EQUAL and the characters Marica Gruver created.
