Katie O'Connor is our modern day Scarlett O'Hara in this latest novel, A Hope Undaunted by Julie Lessman.
Katie O'Connor is tired of watching the men around her growing up, take control of the women in their lives. They keep their women on a short leash and Katie for one is about to take a step forward in making sure she doesn't fall for becoming a hopeless romantic and falling for the first man who will sweep her off her feet. Nope Katie wants more, she wants to be in charge, the one calling all the shots. Ever since women gained the right to vote and now beginning to work, Katie sees possibilities in her future.
Jack Worthington is everything that Katie wants in a man and possible future husband. He's great looking, rich, and is willing to do anything that Katie asks of him. However, she begins to notice that Jack in so much like all the men she has met in her past when he is with his guy pals. Suddenly, Jack isn't looking quite so sweet any longer.
Enter Luke McGee, the soda jerk caught working late one night, when Katie and Jack arrive with their friends to the local diner. Being so close to ten, Katie is hungry and demands a burger to go along with her Coke. However when Luke reminds her of the rules of the diner, meaning no grilling after nine, Katie is more than miffed by his approach at not doing as she asks.
Jack makes sure that when Luke isn't looking that they all make a fast getaway as a reminder to Luke to treat his doll better. However when Katie learns of their plan, she isn't about to go about treating Luke like a second class citizen despite the fact her pride is more than bruised.
To see whether or not Katie will remain the spoiled child she is now, or if Luke will somehow tame the wild streak within her, you'll have to read, A Hope Undaunted by Julie Lessman.
