Bluebonnet Belle - Lori Copeland

I was a little frustrated by not getting any hits on my wish list for the past 3 months and decided to get proactive.  I surfed around on amazon and found 2 Lori Copeland books that were under my $5.00 limit.  They were each $4.85, but I needed an author that I could rely on for a good read.  My trip is fast approaching and I didn't want to be left without anything to read at all.  I like Lori Copeland, I've read a few of hers including Faith (Brides of the West) and Outlaw's Bride.  Ironically, the day after I bought these, I had 2 wish list hits for $2.99, but that's another story.  At least I'm prepared for my trip now.

I decided to read this one beforehand because one of the reviews I read mentioned that the book dealt with abortion.  I wanted to make sure that it was handled in a way I was comfortable with.

April lost her mother to what she perceived was unnecessary surgery.  As a result, she doesn't trust doctors.  The problem is that she is attracted to the town doctor, Gray.  She is helping to sell a vegetable compound that is supposed to cure all female complaints.  Gray thinks that she is misguided, but he has his own issues.

As time goes by, the two become an unlikely pair.  April's beau is hardly what he seems.  It takes some serious evidence to convince her of that even though she would rather rely on Gray for help.  Gray has a debt that needs to be paid and as a result feels like he needs to put up with his ex-fiance.  She isn't a small town girl at all and Gray can't seem to get rid of her.

I really did enjoy the book.  The abortion that was in the book was dealt with in a way that I approved of.  It was a small portion of the book and I felt it was used in a way to show that it is possible to overcome mistakes.  It was a good buy and I have no regrets giving this one my Good Book label.
