This is the third book in the series. The first two are called Flights of Fancy and Diamond in the Rough.
Beatrix is on her way to Chicago when the train is held up. She takes care of herself, but the man who believes himself to be the target of the attack drags her off the train. From then on, she's intrigued by his unusual mind, but he infuriates her at the same time.
Norman has been sheltered for his entire life, and he's been free to be absorbed in his research. He meets Beatrix and wonders if he's been missing out on a few things. He starts to appreciate his family more and see things in a different way. Being a man of science, it's up to him to experiment and get things right, but that doesn't seem to go as well as he'd hoped.
I loved this book. I liked the plot and the interactions between Beatrix and Norman. As usual, I'm going to mention the characters. This author has a real talent for creating them that makes you care about all of them, even the minor ones. You can read these out of order and not be lost, but you'll appreciate the overall links between the women if you can read them in order.
I truly enjoyed this entire series, and I'm sad it's over. These characters will be staying with me for a long time, and I think that's the best compliment I can give. Good Book! Good series!
*I received a copy of this book from Bethany House through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
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!
