We are so excited to have Bethany Swafford back for a tour for her amazing book. We had such a great response to her blitz and every so many reviews coming this week from people excited to read her wonderful book. Come join us on the journey!
For as long as she can remember, Bethany Swafford has loved reading books. That love of words extended to writing as she grew older and when it became more difficult to find a ‘clean’ book, she determined to write her own. Among her favorite authors is Jane Austen, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Georgette Heyer. 
Twenty year old Diana Forester, a country bred young woman fears that her inexperience and uncertainties has driven Mr. John Richfield away. On arriving back home from London, she learns that he is already there, ready to continue their acquaintance. If Diana thought that it was difficult in London, courting takes on a whole new aspect when Diana’s younger siblings become involved. She finds herself dealing with her own feelings, her sister, her younger brother, jealous members of a house party, a jilted suitor, and a highwayman as she falls in love with the charming Mr. Richfield.
A Chaotic Courtship was a pleasure to read. I felt the opening was intriguing and captured my attention. I immediately liked Diana and Mr Richfield. Diana is endearing with her quirks and mannerisms. The author created some adorable scenes and delightful dialogue between Diana and Mr Richfield. I was not a fan of Diana’s sister Sarah. The family dynamics were charming. Diana likes Mr Richfield but is startled when he asks to meet with her father. She is concerned that she has scared him away by her response. Courting her with her crazy siblings puts the chaotic in the courtship. In addition to the adorable budding romance, we have the mystery of a highwayman who is stealing jewelry from the locals. I highly recommend A Chaotic Courtship if you enjoy a clean fun romance with a dash of a mystery.
