Jordie In Charge
At seventeen Jordie found the absolute love of her life
Or
Did she??
Heart shattered from the lies of love he told her; as well as, the lies of unconditional love promised by her parents. Jordie finds herself cast out of her clan pregnant and alone in the Forgotten Woods.
King Duvoir cast out his daughter – expecting her to die. Seven years later she still thrives. He cannot stand sight of his daughter nor bear the nearness of her presence – she had the audacity to live. He calls upon the Meerdoran lairds to send their sons to relieve him of her presence by interviewing her for marriage.
Jordie has thrived on her own with only the company of her dog and son. They have endured the cruelty of their clan and the humiliation from Jordie’s family. Until one particular day she finds herself being examined by eight men; one of which she is to marry or face the wrath of the Goddess – the Kedavirsta Emoratta.
Will she choose death or marriage?
Will she find love?

My first read of the year was fun and refreshing! I enjoyed watching the main character grow from being a naive teen to a stubborn adult. This was a romance novel set in a whimsical world full of fanciful creatures and beasts so it never got boring. I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves romance novels with a twist setting.

My wife has an injury which prevents her from spending time in front of a computer, so I'm posting her review on this one for her. She read this novel in it's beta stage, and absolutely loved it. It had all of the stuff you like about romance, and hooked you right from the start. If you love fantasy romance novels as much as Boss Lady, you should check out this novel!

Egads....
This might be one of the worst books I have ever read. The dialogue was completely inappropriate for the time in which the story takes place. Don't waste your time...ugh!!

There is a lot that sets this book off from other romances. For one thing, Jordie has a child out of wedlock and suffers terrible consequences because of it. She's dumped by the guy that took advantage of her innocence, thrown out of her home by her family, and shunned by everyone. On her own, she has a baby and raises him for the next seven years.
I really liked Jordie a lot. She's completely unprepared for everything that is thrown at her, yet she rises up and meets the challenge of taking care of herself and her son. When her father gives her an ultimatum, get married or suffer even worse consequences, she agrees, but on her own terms.
The book is a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Jordie is fiery tempered to say the least. She talks back to everyone, and doesn't back down when she thinks she's right. Whatever people dish out, she returns, double! As much as I admire Jordie, the story became overwrought in some places. There was a lot of emotional repetition.
Not a whole lot of plot, but if you want a heroine you can root for, then give Jordie's book a try.

I LOVED this book. I picked it up one night before bed, expecting to just read a few chapters and then go to sleep. Four hours later, I was finishing the book!! Immediately I was drawn into Jordie's story. She gets pregnant by the love of her life only to be left behind when he ditches her. Jordie is then shunned by her family and forced to raise her son on her own, totally on her own and providing alone for her and her son. Daddy dearest decides that he doesn't even want her on his land anymore and tells her that she has a day to decide who she wants to marry. There is a scene where Jordie decides to act like the piece of meat that she is being paraded as and shows the men what they are buying. I grinned the whole way through this scene. I would have cheered out loud but I didn't want to wake my sleeping husband ;) Needless to say this is a fantastic read and is a book that I'm already planning to read again.

What an imaginative and angsty book! I loved it!!! You can't help but root for Jordie! Something wonderful just has to happen for her! Through persecution, misunderstandings and cruelty Jordie soldiers on simply because she has no other option! Enter her potential husband who's heart is massive! I really truly adored him. This was very detailed in it's character development. Sometimes eyebrow raising, this tale will keep you captivated and longing to read that hoped for happily ever after 💝 I throughly enjoyed this!! Bravo to this imaginative authoress 💕💕💕

Sucks you in
Definitely a story that sucks you in... From page 1. I loved these characters and found my heart hurting over at the character hurts and misunderstandings. I laughed too. If you like fantastical worlds and historical fiction and strong women this story is for you. *there is some strong language and if you don't like sex scenes skim lightly through ch 26 and a tiny part of the epilogue. Overall good story

After reading this book I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading adventure,non-fiction, fantasy, and slight romance novels. This book kept me wanting more and I found it hard to put it down. The first 3-4 chapters were slow at first but than I could not get enough. Very well job on this new upcoming author.

Interesting and enjoyable read
Characters were well developed and interesting. Plot was believable. I wanted to immediately continue with more adventures. How will Boden evolve in his new environment? Will he become the best warrior of the clan? Will Jordie’s skills be passed on to the other children of the clan? Can’t wait to see!

It is good to find a medieval fantasy novel written recently . most fantasy novels I can find are modern fantasy , Paranormal police or shifter novels . I really like Jordie's tomboyish personality and assertive nature . I noticed it has a certain Scottish feel to it with how the Characters talk in scottish accents .

I am not usually big on this genre, for whatever reason it just typically isn't my style, however this author does a spectacular job at keeping the reader engaged! It's a very good book, and allows me to escape the stresses and thoughts of everyday life and get lost in the story!

Loved it!
I don’t typically read romances in this time period, but once I started this book I could not put it down. I read the whole thing in one sitting while my husband was watching sports.
I cried, I laughed, and my heart warmed. Such a fun read!

An absolute must read. I was hooked from start to finish. There's moments in this story that'll pull at your emotions. The twists and turns will pull you in and the storyline is well written. I recommend reading.

I enjoyed it, but not my typical genre. I picked it up because it was listed as a paranormal book, but the paranormal aspect was barely there and the most unusal aspect.

It was a little long winded, but the author did a nice job of slowly creating the new world setting.

I read it so fast that I was sad it was over. It absolutely took me into the world, and swept me away. Jordie is so strong and resilient she shows just what a women scorned can do!
