Dorothy Clark has written off marriage, and instead dreams of putting her words to paper to inspire and inform others. When Newspaperman Brandon Holloway comes to Mesquite Springs to start a paper, she jumps at the chance to assist him, but as trouble stirs in town Brandon and Dorothy must decide to take a stand or stay silent.
A historical romance set in the growing town of Mesquite Springs, though the second in a series, it could be read as a stand alone. Dorothy is an observant and capable young woman, she is kind to others and has a way of putting them at ease. I liked how she encourages Brandon, and her relationship with her little niece, Polly, is adorable.
This was an enjoyable historical romance with likable characters, and a bit of mystery. Nutmeg the dog was super sweet, and I loved the scenes with her in them. I also liked the themes of faith and redemption, woven into the story. A great addition to the series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
Sounds interesting- thanks! Glad to hear it can be read as a standalone.
