In this second book of a series about triplets separated at birth, Jennifer Mikels presents THE BRIDAL QUEST. Readers will find this extraordinary tale of love and independence highly entertaining. Mystery lady Jessica Walker couldn't help attracting the attention of small town Sheriff Sam Dawson. First he finds her staring into the darkened window of the diner staring at a help wanted sign. Then she is evasive in answering his questions about her identity and where is she staying.Jessica gets the job as waitress at the diner, but her ability to charm dignitaries and CEO's scarcely prepared her for carrying plates and keeping orders straight. When Sam arrives with his nanny and two young daughters for lunch, Jessica finds herself serving his table. While the sheriff steps away for a moment, Jessica realizes the nanny is having a heart attack. Warning the sheriff of the problem, she efficiently distracts the girls, winning their hearts and the sheriff's gratitude. That evening Jessica unfortunately finds herself once more unemployed after spilling a plate of spaghetti on the mayor's wife's lap. Despite her discouragement, however, Jessica is cheered by an unexpected encounter with the sheriff's daughters. Soon she finds herself taking the ill nanny's position.Pink socks don't keep Jessica from learning the skills of housework and child care. She tackles each new challenge with great success; fortunately, Sam never mentions the pink socks. It doesn't take long for the growing attraction between Jessica and Sam to complicate their situation, compounded by the fact that Jessica obviously is keeping secrets about her past. When she laughingly tells Sam that she is an heiress, he underestimates how correct she was.Family secrets, love, and devastated children create a remarkable story. Mikels creates memorable characters from the young child with the mysterious red purse to the reunion of sisters parted at birth. With charm and skill, THE BRIDAL QUEST will delight romance fans. Indeed, I was so entranced with this second book of a three part series that I immediately went to the shelf to find the first sister's story. Very highly recommended.
