Imagine you're in your early thirties, unmarried, a seamstress by trade, and one day somewhere in 1868 you walk to your shop and discover it's been broken into. That's Fanny Ellis! Fanny finds two babies, abandoned or left with care in her shop for her to find. Fanny has her suspicions about who the mother is and decides she'll care for the babies until they can be reunited with their mom.In comes Graham Staddler, the handsome gunslinger she's read about in the papers. Graham Staddler has a connection to these infants, once he learns that his sister might be their mother, whom he's searching for, he teams up with Fanny to make sure the twins are cared for and protected. Of course, feelings happen, but there are wounds to heal.
Reading this story I found the character development to be done really well. I appreciated how we find out what Fanny looks like from Graham's point of view and vice versa. The story flowed so smoothly and the plot twists were not predictable. I think I tried to guess what was going to happen based on what already had and I was absolutely wrong! It was delightful!
I appreciated that the characters didn't obsess over what attraction they did develop for each other, but it could still be felt building with the plot!
This story is clean, and enjoyable and brings across the message that there can be life after loss, and hope for new beginnings.
Check Christina Rich out on Goodreads and find this book on Kindle, your local bookstore, or even your local library! Enjoy the read!!
Until next time,
