4.0 out of 5 stars Becoming Georgia is Gold 15 Jan 2007
By D. Thompson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I'm not a person who usually reads strictly romance based novels without action of some sort but this novel was great through and through. All though the reading felt slow at times the amazing characters, Georgia and Cougar especially, more than made up for it. She was hilarious, couragious and a jewel that exceeded her time. Her self determination made her a sparkling individual and she was able to go on to defy the odds of society against her and incorporate them into her gold mining life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Irresistible 3 July 2003
By Huntress Reviews - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Georgie Kennedy can whip any man twice her size, and has. Now, though, she has come up against an opponent she just can't lick, her grandfather. It seems that the gold stake she sold Cougar Barnes actually belongs to the old goat, and he has reclaimed it. This puts Georgie in the awkward position of having inadvertently cheated a friend, but there is a way out of her mess. If she will agree to grandpa's terms, come back to "civilization", become a "lady" and marry the wimp he has picked out, thus cementing a business merger, the mine is hers, free and clear. This is not a solution that makes her really happy, but she has little choice. The wimp is nice enough, but the becoming a lady part, well, Georgie absalutely hates that part. She puts it a bit more colorfully, however. Grandpa's plans might have to change when Cougar shows up and interferes with Georgia's heart.

***** If you have laughed and enjoyed My Fair Lady and The Princess Diaries, then you will love BECOMING GEORGIA as well. One laugh follows another as we see the results of an irresistible object meeting an inmoveable force. *****

5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny romance 2 July 2003
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In 1870, Chicago attorney Jacob Whittaker arrives in Prescott, Territory in Arizona to escort his client's granddaughter back to the Windy City. However, he expects a lady of some sort, but instead sees an arm wrestling female that makes Jacob believe his fee ought to double because he must change "George" into Georgia. Initially refusing to go east, Georgie girl is forced to when Jason informs her the mine she sold to Cougar Barnes was not hers to sell.

In Chicago, her grandpa offers her a deal. If she stays for one year and accepts the courting of his hand picked dolt, he will give her the mine outright even if she fails to wed his chosen one. As she struggles to change from a brawling mine working George into a facsimile of lady Georgia, Cougar arrives demanding ownership of the mine he bought from her.

BECOMING GEORGIA is an amusing mid nineteenth century Americana romance reminiscent of "Annie Get Your Gun". The story line contains a strong cast to include the lead couple, a secondary duo, her grandfather, and her friend Essie that bring Chicago and to a lesser degree Arizona in 1870 to life. However, it is the humor that makes this tale stand out in the bookshelves as fans will appreciate the antics of George of the desert turning into Georgia of the Windy City.
