The Watchmaker's Daughter by C.J. Archer
4.0
Overall, I enjoyed this book. It wasn’t exactly what I expected, and the part I was looking forward to wasn’t revealed until almost the end. It’s a story about a very plucky Englishwoman who was raised as an independent woman by her father in a patriarchal society, so when he dies, she’s left floundering. Homeless and rejected by society, she accepts a job from a stranger visiting England from America’s wild west. Is he a notorious outlaw? Or a champion of the underdog? She stands to collect the reward for his capture if he’s the outlaw, something that would go a long way to regaining her independence. A first in series, it lays the foundation for future books.
