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!

Heart on the Line (Ladies of Harper's Station #2) - Karen Witemeyer

This is the second book in the series.  First is the novella, Worth the Wait, and then the first novel, No Other Will Do.

Grace saw her father brutally murdered in the middle of a street protecting a dangerous secret.  Right before he died, he signaled for Grace to take the evidence and run.  She does as she’s told and ends up in Harper’s Station.  There, she keeps her secrets to herself, but she makes a friend over the telegraph wire, Mr. A.

Amos is considered strange in his town.  With his glasses and obsession with his bicycle, the women don’t give him a second look.  He feels more confident when he’s talking to Miss G over the wires.  He’s drawn to her, even though he knows it’s silly since he’s never met her.  But when he “overhears” she’s in danger, he drops everything and heads for Harper’s Station.

Normally, I can’t say enough about how much I love this author’s books, but this wasn’t one of my favorites.  I didn’t connect with the main characters like I usually do for some reason.  I really liked the interactions between Helen and her patient, but that wasn’t the main story line, so I didn’t enjoy the book as much as some of the others by this author.

Is this one of my favorite books by this author?  No.  Is it still a good book?  Yes.  Usually, I finish this author’s books in two days, because I just can’t put them down.  I wasn’t able to say that with this one, but I didn’t have any issues getting through it.  It’s a sweet love story with some danger mixed in there.  I believe you’d be able to read these out of order without any issues.  Good Book.

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