This is the second book in this series. The first book is called Dawn Comes Early. I enjoyed reading that one, so I was excited to read the next one in the series.
Molly has applied to be the next heiress candidate for the Last Chance Ranch, but she neglected to inform the owner that she wouldn't be arriving alone. Her brother is confined to a wheelchair and Molly's afraid that will ruin their chances. She's taking a big risk, but their home was destroyed and this is her only option.
Caleb is the town's new doctor and is turning heads with his horseless carriage. "Bertha" is prone to backfires, which causes trouble and gets him shot at. When he meets Molly, he wants to do what he can for her brother, but he's also drawn to Molly as well.
This was a neat little book and I was able to read it quickly. The characters are likable and I was really cheering them on. While the characters from the first book pop up, it isn't necessary to read it to understand this one. We do get a little more of Miss Walker's personality in this one, so reading the first one is a little bit of a plus.
In the notes at the end, the author reveals that Dr. Caleb Fairbanks is actually the brother of Lucy from A Vision of Lucy, the third book in the Rocky Creek Romance series. I hadn't made that connection, but it was a really neat idea. Next up in this series is Gunpowder Tea. It's waiting for me on my Kindle and I look forward to reading it soon! 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!
