Reverend Augustus Shackleford?s mission in life (aside from ensuring the collection box was suitably full every Sunday) was to secure advantageous marriages for each of his eight daughters. A tall order, given the fact that in the Reverend?s opinion they didn?t possess a single ladylike bone in the eight bodies they had between them. Temperance was the exact opposite of her name. In fact the Reverend very much hoped he could find someone to at least teach her to hold her temper.

Temperance is book two in The Shackleford Sisters series. I thought this book was so entertaining. There are some truly laugh out loud moments with Revered Shackleford and his brood of daughters. Temperance is the second oldest of the Shackleford Sisters and she has quite the temper. I loved the way the author kept true to the character’s development. There are a few steamy moments. I can’t wait to read the next in this series.
