One of my favorite reads

The heroine, Linsey, has been brought up on superstitions and believes them to her core. Her stepsister, Addie, is also a believer. When Linsey becomes convinced she will die before year's end, she decides that one of the things she must accomplish is to hook Addie up with the local Doc, Daniel, whom Addie has had a crush on for years. Only problem is, Daniel doesn't "see" Addie, and Linsey's efforts to throw them together more often throws her into Daniel's arms. Then, of course, Addie realizes she's outgrown her infatuation for Daniel and falls for the local blacksmith. Absolutely delightful, witty and sweet, but sexy as well. I truly enjoyed every word, and I am a reader who is easily annoyed with silly plots. This is a real keeper. Each chapter is prefaced by a superstition, and it's fun to read the full version of some "old wives'tales" you may have heard all your life. I loved all of these characters and found the writing style very easy to read, and infinitely enjoyable.

Humorous but poignant western romance

In 1882 Horseshoe, Texas, Linsey Gordon reads the signs that inform her that she has three months to live because she looked into a mirror during Bleet Haggar's wake. Though her luck may be all bad, the superstitious Linsey decides to do one last good deed before she dies. She wants to find a spouse for her sister Addie. Linsey selects the town's workaholic, its' most eligible bachelor, Dr. Daniel Sharpe, a person who dreads having anything to do with the most superstitious person in all of Texas. Her efforts seem to backfire and places her and Daniel in several predicaments. Still, both of them soon begin to fall in love with each other, but he must convince her that the only real sign is that of love, while she must teach him to relax. LOVING LINSEY is a humorous western romance with a moral that life is to be lived. The story line is filled with antics that entertain the reader even as the era feels authentic. The good and bad luck charms that prevail would even leave Professor Amos Fortune (Justice League foe) wondering about the future. Like her best seller, WILD CAT CAIT, Rachelle Morgan has scribed another jocular tale with a punch.Harriet Klausner
