CHARMING JO is a fabulous historical western that you will leave you completely fulfilled long after the story has ended. Ms. Drewry pens a tale laced with witty bantering, explosive passion and an intriguing plot that will have you turning the pages quickly to see what happens next. The characters are extremely charismatic. Joanna is a sassy, witty and has taken on the world in order to care for her family. Although she is a tough cookie, she secretly desires being a woman for a change. Levi is a hunky rogue that will leave you panting and wanting more of him. He is arrogant, stubborn and has a bad reputation to go with it. The secondary characters are just as captivating and enjoyable. CHARMING JO is definitely a must read and I highly recommend it.
