Taming Lady Temperance by Karen Witemeyer is the first book in The Secret Society of Spinsters series. Noreen O' Sullivan is a member of the Christian Temperance Union and a new member of the Secret Society of Spinsters. She has no plans to marry as her goal is to shut down the saloon, change people’s minds about alcohol, and bring justice to the world. Deputy James Paxton is deeply committed to preserving the peace, being a recognizable member of the community, and getting elected sheriff. He carefully watches himself and somehow gets himself involved with Noreen, her temperance marches and finds his whole world tilting on its axis.
This was an incredible historical romance that drew me in. Noreen and James are very relatable characters and watching them transform, fall in love, and learn what they value made the story very enjoyable. They had great banter, friendship, and chemistry. The themes of forgiveness, loving one another, and faith were gently woven into the story and added depth. I appreciated how the book dealt with harder topics, but still had humor, sweet romance, and relatable themes.
Taming Lady Temperance by Karen Witemeyer checked all the boxes for me. I enjoyed the with sweet romance, faith threads, and engaging characters. I highly recommend and look forward to reading the other books in the series.
I was gifted the book and not required to write a positive review.
