Georgina Gentry breathes life into a worn storyline. Miss Lillian Primm has inherited ½ interest in (what is euphemistically called) a hotel. In the lawyers letter, he offers Lillian money for her portion of the brothel.
Lillian has been teaching young ladies in Boston and decides to spend her summer vacation traveling to Fort Floppett to see if she should sell. When she arrives, she meets the towns heart-throb, Brad O'Neal, who just happens to own the other half.
Lillian is horrified to find 7 whores working there and immediately closes the brothel. She offers to teach the women home and work skills, so they can have a chance at real jobs and husbands. Brad and Lillian spar over the direction their business should take. The dialog is priceless and offers lots of laughs.
Then suddenly, the story goes flat; it loses its sizzle. I kept wondering why the story didnt spend more time with the relationship between the ladies and Lillian.
I had no problem finishing the book. It IS a pleasant story that keeps the reader interested. By concentrating on the visiting congressmen and not on the changes in the ladies I felt that opportunities were lost. This really could have been a more substantial and appealing story.
