Story
New Orleans, 1900: Mary Deubler makes a meager living as an "alley whore". That all changes when bible-thumping Alderman Sidney Story forces the creation of a red-light district that’s mockingly dubbed "Storyville". Mary believes there’s no place for a lowly girl like her in the high-class bordellos of Storyville’s Basin Street, where Champagne flows and beautiful girls turn tricks in luxurious bedrooms. But with gumption, twists of fate, even a touch of Voodoo, Mary rises above her hopeless lot to become the notorious Madame Josie Arlington.

not typical
Not your typical love story where everything always works out with the happy couple in the end but well written and interesting anyways. I cringed as I listened, knowing what was coming. unfortunately most girls have to live and learn the hard way.

Unusual.
Not typical, as another reviewer noted. What happens to Essie, her choices, and her motivations are the same for women today. But Essie soars above it all, especially in the end. Gist has written an engaging heroine. Excellent narration, too.

SWEET AND FUNNY!
I like everything about this book. The writer is very clever and has a subtle sense of humor that the very gifted narrator makes come alive. It's always a bonus when I can listen to a book that has a good and Godly message included.

Courting Trouble is Courting Disaster!
I cannot recommend this book. The story line is garbled, introduces characters that do not add to the story line and is a disappointing inspirational book. The book is not edifying. Spoiler: The main character chases a widower and, after failing to catch him, she is intimate with a drifter. Then a third man is introduced into the already messy novel.
There are many books much better than this one.

Inspiring! Funny!
I just loved this book. The narrator, Danielle Ferland, was absolutely perfect. To enjoy this book; you have to let go of judgment of the times; and just appreciate the wonderful Essie, the heroine, and her path to her own liberation. And, liberation does come in the end; as she learns to trust in her inner knowing (call it what you will). Though it is written in the spirit of Christianity, you can use your own spiritual path to rejoice in Essie's finding and trusting her inner voice. The ending is awesome!

Must Read with Deep in the Heart of Trouble
I usually give low star reviews for books that seem incomplete. However, Courting Trouble isn’t actually incomplete. It is only incomplete as a ROMANCE novel. If it’s read as Christian Women Fiction, it’s satisfying. When read with Deep in the Heart of Trouble, (which is actually the other half of the book and should have been published as one) the two become an excellent Historical Christian Romance and maybe more like a mainstream novel.
The two books make an excellent guide to young woman of 2020. It helps the Christian women to see regret before it arrive. Some character’s reaction to sin made me angry, but judge is true today. If you can only read one, read Deep in the Heart of Trouble. However, it won’t be the same without Courting Trouble background. I would prefer the two as one and I wish Deeanne Gist would add another in the series. Essie’s search for Mr. Wonderful (No spoiler) is worth the journey of both books.

Bitter Sweet
I think this book is intended to be encouragement to single women. Our heroine is smart, kind, talented and strong, yet she had no husband. Does God possibly have something better in store? She won't find out if she is so distracted trying to make things the way she wants them to be. She could get REALLY hurt and in so doing destroy her chances for an enriching husband relationship. She might even get confused as to what's right and what's wrong.
Jesus truly is the ONLY. Every woman's one and only. A husband can either be a distraction from Jesus or an enriching practice loving Jesus until we can see Him fave to face.
This is extremely well written, and I couldn't put it down, but bitter sweet endings are not for me, so I recommend this book to anyone who doesn't mind a good cry after finishing a fantastic read.
