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!

No Other Will Do (Ladies of Harper's Station #1) - Karen Witemeyer

I always look forward to another book from Karen Witemeyer.  She has such a great writing style.  I was happy to get the chance to read this one.

Malachi has answered his angel’s call for help.  Leaving his demolition job for the railroad, he heads to Harper’s Station, a women’s colony.  There he finds that his angel, Emma, has been having trouble with someone threatening their home.  She called for him after a man shot into the church where the women were gathered, and Mal came running.

Emma and Mal have loved each other for years, but Emma knows the high walls that Mal has built around his heart and knows that she’s going to have to take those down before he’ll admit his love for her.  They also have to deal with the threat to the women of Harper’s Station and, now it seems that one of the women she’s offered shelter to might be helping the outlaw.

The characters in this book are well developed and the writing style is easy to read.  I really loved Emma’s style and her courage.  She was willing to fight for what she wanted and wasn’t willing to take no for an answer.  Malachi is a character you just want to hug, even though he wouldn’t like it.  I also liked the supporting characters and hope to read more about Tori and Benjamin Porter.  Overall, this is a great read and I recommend it!  Good Book!

*I received a copy of this book from Bethany House through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
