My Opinion:
What a wonderful collection of historical novellas!! I found myself getting lost in each story and being captivated until the end. They each include faith, forgiveness, hope, humor, trust, but most of all love. In the first book we find a young woman who left New York with a broken heart and settled in Texas. When an unexpected package arrives on the train from her sister, she is both surprised by the package and the person who brought it. Now she needs to learn forgiveness and learn to trust again. In the second book we meet a young man who's returning home to Colorado after spending the last 5 years in Texas. He thinks he has his life all planned out, but he should have known things were not going to go his way when he ran into an overprotective mother buffalo. (I loved this scene.) Connor must figure out how to convince a young woman how deeply his feelings for her are. The third story is set in the Indian Territory in August 0f 1885. We meet a young man who is in the cavalry and is sent to help move a herd. Just one problem, the herd isn't cattle, but camel. He must deal with not only the camel, but an intriguing and irritating female who was trying to sabotage her father's plans and thereby his mission. The last novella was set in Kansas City, Missouri in September of 1908. In this novella we meet a young totally captivated by a young man, who she knows her parents would think is completely below her because of the difference in finances. The heart wants what the heart wants and she will do anything to convince everyone otherwise.
I enjoyed each of these stories thoroughly. Of course, for me this wasn't a surprise since I enjoy the author's books. I found myself going from one book to the next until I finished the very last page. This is a book I would recommend to anyone who loves a good story, likes to feel apart of each story and likes a story that will put a smile on your face.
I received this book from the publisher as part of their book blogger program. I was not required to write a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
