I first fell in love with Tamera Alexander's writing when I read A Beauty So Rare, and to this day, it is one of my absolute favorite books. However, I found To Win Her Favor to be lacking in my expectations for this author.
As much as I love romance, I'm surprised that this book caused me to be bored, but I think the blame for that can be on the fact that it's predictable. In A Beauty So Rare, the romance is surrounded by mysteries, action, and twists that you absolutely never saw coming, but To Win Her favor had “twists” that are predictable to anyone who has read a lot of arranged marriage romances as well as those who read horse racing/redemption stories; both of which I read A LOT of in middle school and high school.
The character's bonding was nice to read and I did think Cullen and Maggie had a good story. And don't get me wrong, Tamera Alexander's writing is simply stunning, that's why I continue to read her books after all! I just wasn't as taken with Maggie's story as I thought I'd be.
Perhaps I just wore myself out of these types of stories because I read so much of them when I was younger. So overall, I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars personally, but I'd still recommend it to fans of Christian romance and horse stories because others may really enjoy it.
There is some mild cursing, action and sexual content (no sex scenes however). The sexual content consists of detailed kissing and making out; the scenes always cut out before our characters get “intimate”.
I received this book from the author for the purpose of this review via Netgalley. All comments and opinions are entirely my own.
