BOOK REVIEW- THE HUSBAND MANEUVER by Karen Witmeyer

The Husband Maneuver (With This Ring? Collection): A Worthy Pursuit Novella by [Witemeyer, Karen]
1890s Texas. Marietta Hawkins has been in love with ranch foreman Daniel Barrett since she came home from school three years ago. Unfortunately, her father's rule about hands not fraternizing with his daughter has kept him out of reach. She believed patience would prove a virtue in winning him over--until now. He is leaving. Starting up his own spread. To have any hope of maneuvering him into a proposal, she has to act fast or lose him forever. AMAZON 4 STARS

quick, fun read with good main characters.  It also starts out in an interesting, different kind of way.  At first I thought I was reading the actual story when Dead-Eye Dan was introduced.  But it was a story within the real story.  That was nicely done and continues in a good way throughout the book.   
Marietta (or Etta as she is sometimes called)  does start trying to move fast when it comes to Daniel.  But nothing seems to be working....

Daniel is a man of honor who has given a vow to Etta's father and he's a man who keeps his word.   He's not going to flirt, encourage or make any move on her while in her father's employ.   But then he's not even sure she feels anything for him when it comes to the love department.  Well, things are going to get a lot tougher for him about that.  
Sweet H.E.A. ending.
