Otherwise Engaged

By Joanna Barker
Covenant Communications, 2020. 254 pgs. Romance

Rebecca Rowley feels stifled by society and finds ways to quietly and not so quietly rebel. Riding bareback is one of her secret joys but she soon has a much bigger secret as she tries to hide her engagement to the one man her family would never approve of. After saving the life of a young girl on a neighboring estate, she draws the attention of the older brother, Lieutenant Avery. Since he is a naval man and not interested in marriage, Rebecca and Lieutenant Avery form a friendship that turns both their worlds upside down. 

Joanna Barker recently visited the Provo City Library and I decided I wanted to read one of her books. I thoroughly enjoyed Otherwise Engaged. The characters were fun and the storyline kept me interested. I'll definitely be reading more books by this author.
