My Thoughts:
Ella Raines is ready to turn her life around. Colton Hill comes from a time where some men
look out for the women. One thing about
the historical romances they show how tough women had it back in the day. Especially when it came to the limited
choices available to women.
It’s a story that will remind you of simpler times – no technology
whatsoever and that includes the telephone.
It was also a tough time because people got very little pay and choices
for jobs were slim for those that lacked an education. And it was even tougher on the women. Do you see a theme here? How do you think you would fair if you were
sent back to the 1870’s? And let’s not
forget the clothes that the women had to wear.
I don’t think I would handle it very well – I like to breathe.
One good thing about this story, it reminded me why I liked
watching television shows like Little
House On The Prairie and Dr.
Quinn: Medicine Woman. One surprise I got was finding out that this
was the first book in the Whiskey River
Brides series. Sometimes the first
book can seem slow because the author is creating a world that may carry
through the rest of the series. Our
author impressed me by her creativity and how I got to travel back in time
without having to pack a bag. She has me
looking forward to her next book – especially after reading the title.
