Too Rich for a Bride is a romantic novel written by Mona Hodgson. A western historical fiction, this is a story of a career-oriented woman named Ida Sinclair who’s set her sights into conquering the male dominated world of business. She ignored suitors in the process since they are just distractions until two men came along – Colin Wagner, the dashing lawyer, and Tucker Raines, the traveling preacher.
I like reading romantic novels and this is one of those books that I’ll read again in the future. Since Too Rich for a Bride was set in late 1890’s, I had learned a few things from that time period too, such as the fact that a woman who wants to succeed at business was too uncommon at that time. The story appealed to me probably because I was an accountant prior to being a stay at home wife and the main character was just as business-minded as me.
I would recommend this book to those bookworms who are fond of reading historical romance fictions.

This is a wonderful inspirational historical tale that reminds readers of Carlyle’s Clothing theory of man as God sees passed the outer garments to the heart and soul inside the person. Mollie and the stock exchange she joins (breaking the gender barrier) were real and add a strong sense of time and place to a delightful late nineteenth century novel. Readers will enjoy the business and life lessons that Ida learns in Cripple Creek as the romantic subplot enhances her chance at restitution with God and his local flock, and moral redemption.
