The novel is a romantic adventure with historical roots in the famous gold rushes sounds interesting. Congrats on BOTD and thanks for the free copy!

This is quite a brilliant review, well written and detailed. Even if I was not up for a historical romance/adventure, this review has definitely done it for. Gold rush story settings usually fare well, I hope this does so too. Congrats to the author on #BOTD

Romance and historical stories interest me so much. In real life, sometimes people developed their character a bit too late. So maybe that's how Greta will be, if the author will create a book two or something. Anyway, great review. Thanks!

Romance is my favorite genre and this one seems to be well executed. I'm interested in seeing how Alex and Greta's relationship fares in the face of all the obstacles. Nice review.

A Woman's Prerogative by Steven C Brandt picks a woman, Greta, as a lead character in a heavy, capital-intensive and risky industry of gold mining, where tough decisions are always made and even tougher situations faced. That in itself is impressive. Usually, lead female characters placed as CEOs of their businesses are in charge of corporations that would benefit from female perspectives, creativity, instincts, sense of glamor and empathy, and her penchant to nurture, such as fashion, luxury, hospitality, cosmetics, restaurants, services and personal care. Not that these are soft industries. In fact, these industries require the sharpest, most competitive and imaginative CEOs you can find. But you're more likely to find female executives here because the strongest female qualities are in alliance with the needs of these industries. Traditionally, gold mining is associated with the male drive for conquest in tough environments. Brandt's decision to put a woman character in charge of a mining corporation is rare and stands out. And he seems to have pulled it off with the 4-star rating given by reviewer Cecilia_L who finds the book's chapters on details of the mining business engaging. That's no mean feat in a novel that is supposed to offer dramatic excitement, business adventure and romance. Cecilia_L, however, has criticized the characterization of Greta as unrelateable at times. Could it be because the author is a man who created basically a male character trapped in a man's body? The hardest character to write, it seems, is a woman who exists in a place where one does not usually expect her to be.
