Despite
their firm principles, Elizabeth and Jason find that mutual attraction--and
disdain from the community--is drawing them ever closer. And when the two find
themselves working to save the life and tattered reputation of a local woman,
they'll have to decide how far they're willing to go to find justice--and true
love
This
is the final book in a grouping that, while they aren’t my normal genre to
read, I thought I would read in an attempt to broaden my reading lists. So if you like to visit my page to get some
insight into what men enjoy reading, hang onto your thoughts as some of these
books may surprise even me. This book is
book 3 in the “Westward Winds” series by Amanda Cabot. While it may be the 2nd in the series, this book
can be read as a stand-alone, but I would recommend reading the first 2 in the
series as some of the details may make more sense if you do that.
After
some pushing and prodding by her sisters, Elizabeth Harding has agreed to come to
Cheyenne and open up her medical office.
After hearing all of the virtues from her sisters, she is sure that as
soon as she shows up she’ll have patients lining the streets waiting for
her. Jason Nordling, Attorney-At-Law,
isn’t too keen on the idea of having a new doctor in town, much less a LADY
doctor. It’s beginning to look like no
one in town will welcome her to town. Is
there room in the town for two doctors?
Will there be any patients that step up to her door or will she have to
remove her shingle and come up with a new plan? Will there be more between her
and Jason? Great questions and you’ll
know while you read this book in the waiting room after you BUY THIS BOOK!!
I’m
trying to judge these books (no, not by their cover) by their content. This story is well written, has great
character development and provides enough description that it makes you feel as
if you have been transported back in time.
I love that Elizabeth is written as a strong, independent woman,
especially with this being set in the old west.
It was refreshing to see the part where Elizabeth was treating the
ladies from the local brothel, it took me back to Bible and where it showed that
Jesus would frequent. I guess you can
see true applications of the Bible even when reading Fiction.
Is
this a "guy's book"? I won’t
kid you and say that it is. Did I enjoy
it? Sure, but now that I’m opening my
reading genre up a little, this wasn’t a hard stretch for me to enjoy it. This is your regular “Girl Meets and Falls in
love with Guy” book. There is a little
mystery and intrigue, more thrown in to keep the story arch going than it is to
fall back on as part of the main plot, though.
A good clean straightforward romance novel if that’s what you are
looking for.
About
The Author
I agree with
Thomas Jefferson when he said, "I cannot live without books." Some of
my earliest memories are of my parents reading books to me or -- in the case of
my father -- telling stories he made up. And even when they weren't reading to
me, my parents could often be found, book in hand. Is it any wonder I decided
to teach myself to read? Once I did learn, it was hard to find me without a
book. My husband will tell you that that's still the case.Along the way, I've had a chance to do a lot of writing, including four technical books and what I describe as "enough technical articles to cure insomnia in a medium-sized city." (My budgets were also considered to be works of fiction.) Now, though, I'm able to write full time, and for the first time, all I'm writing is fiction.
When people ask why I write, the answer is simple: it's part of who I am and who I was meant to be. I truly believe this is God's plan for me, and that's why it is my fervent prayer that my books will touch my readers' hearts and strengthen their faith in Him.

Great review Rick!
