First off is Spitfire Sweetheart by Mary Connealy. A bear, a bull and some busted bones threaten to make Rylan lose everything and it's all Maizy's fault. To make up for her mistake, she's vowed to help him get better by trading her britches for a skirt and doing her best to do things women are "supposed" to do. While she already loves Rylan, his affection seems to be conditional on her new behavior and not who she really is. Will he appreciate who Maizy really is before it's too late? Cute story! I really liked Maizy's determination and dedication to wait for what she deserved.
Next is A Letter to the Editor by Robin Lee Hatcher. Molly is mad that her father hasn't made her the editor of his paper. She's more than qualified and deserves it. Instead, he's hired a man from Iowa and Molly is determined to convince him to move on. Unfortunately, Jack is likable and Molly is afraid her heart will lead her astray. While Jack has plans to move on, he might need to rethink that when he starts losing his heart to Molly. This was a neat story about writing your plans in pencil and giving God the eraser. Neither Molly or Jack end up where they thought they would.
Third is A Cowboy for Katie by Deborah Clopton. Katie has lost her home and her father when a tornado ripped through her land. She was trapped for days under the wreckage and now is suffering from headaches, a fear of the indoors and a need to protect herself from no-good men that want to take over her land. Katie hires Treb to build her house. She's not looking for a long-term arrangement and neither is he. He needs to make some quick cash so he can resume his trip to New Orleans. Neither of them expected to care for each other, but to be together, they're going to have to conquer their fears. A nice story of conquering the fear of losing the one you love.
Finally, we have Courting Trouble by Margaret Brownley. Grace has been accused of murder. With two husbands already in the ground before now, it seems a hopeless case to try and convince people that she's not the Black Widow. When Brock agrees to talk to her about the case, he doesn't plan on actually helping out. He feels that he's failed in the past and has stayed away from criminal law as a result. Grace is determined not to listen to any man ever again. She's never married for love and it's going to take some convincing to not only clear her name, but also free her heart. This was a good story about trust.
In the epilogue, we discover what Gregory has decided to do about his love, Elizabeth. After listening to the four stories of love in unlikely places, it's up to him to use that information to create his own destiny.
This was a great book. Each story is well written and a quick, easy read. The authors did a good job writing stories that had enough detail so that you cared about each character while also telling a complete story. It was enjoyable to read and I was thankful to have the opportunity to read it. Good Book!
