Margaret Brownley has quickly become an author that I look to for a fun historical romance. I picked this one up anticipating more of the same.
Kate has come to Cactus Patch, Arizona to be the heiress to Last Chance Ranch. Her writing career has been killed by a recently banned book and she craves stability. Her escape from the town outlaw lets her meet Luke, the town blacksmith. He reminds her of the hero of her novel, but she doesn't have time to think about him. She has a ranch to learn how to run.
Luke thinks Kate is interesting, but she uses all those big words. He's under the impression that she write philosophy and would have no use for a lowly blacksmith. The sparks fly, but there's a few problems. Kate has been told she can't trust men, and inheriting the ranch requires she remain a spinster.
While I liked this book, I wish there had been more chances for interaction between Luke and Kate in the first part. I read a few parts that had me smiling and chuckling.
Next up in the series is Waiting for Morning. The heroine is the next applicant for heiress of the Last Chance Ranch, so we know she's new. The other one is the town doctor. I'm not sure if the people from this one will pop up, but I do have it on my Kindle and will try to read it soon. The third book is called Gunpowder Tea. Looking forward to more! Good Book!
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!
