Patience Cavanaugh has lost hope in romance. The man she
yearned to marry is dead and her dreams are gone with him. Now she is consumed
with restoring a dilapidated boardinghouse in order to support herself.
Despite Patience's desire for solitude, Jedediah Jones, the local marshal with a reputation for hanging criminals, becomes an ever-looming part of her life. It seems like such a simple arrangement: she needs someone with a strong back to help her fix up the boardinghouse; he needs a dependable source of food for himself and his prisoners. But as she gets to know this "hanging lawman," Patience finds there is far more to him than meets the eye – and it could destroy their tenuous relationship forever.
With a keen eye for historical detail and a deft hand at romantic tension, Maggie Brendan invites you to a Montana gold rush boomtown, where vices and virtues are on full display and love is lying in wait.

Brendan’s The Trouble with Patience is an all-around delightful read.
Patience Cavanaugh and Jedediah Jones both hope for love and romance in their
futures, yet find events of their pasts getting in the way. As these two
strong-willed characters continually cross paths in the most unlikely of
circumstances, their developing relationship with accompanying feelings
provides thought-provoking challenges they must work to overcome. Their story
is entertaining and humorous, with many sweet moments, and I certainly enjoyed
it. I would recommend it for fans of historical romance and now look forward to
reading more from Maggie Brendan in the future.
Thanks to Revell Reads, I received a copy of The
Trouble with Patience and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I
was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have
expressed are my own.
