Murphy's Rainbow

Katie Murphy has just watched her husband die in her arms and the wagon train they were on, left her. She has nowhere to go and is taken to the closest town by the leader of the wagon train. Grieving, but still independent enough to know that she has to work, Katie finds employment as a cook for the local saloon and bawdyhouse. Katie cooks during the day and dances with cowboys at night for money. On one such night, Katie comes face to face with a hard-edged rancher who offers her employment as his housekeeper/nanny. Katie doesn't hesitate in her agreement and they leave for his ranch. Jonathan Cantrell needs a woman to take care of his home and two sons. When his partner tells him about Katie, he travels to the saloon and takes a peek. What he sees is a lovely woman unlike any saloon girl he has ever seen and knows that she will be perfect for what he has in mind. Getting her alone takes a bit of convincing but soon Jonathan puts his proposition before Katie and she readily agrees. Kate and Jonathan soon become friends of a sort, but there is something brewing in the air. Could it be love? Murphy's Rainbow by Carolyn Lampman was a highly poignant and very sweet romance. I savored Katie and Jonathan coming to grips with their feelings towards each other because when it happened, the results were glorious. I enjoyed Murphy's Rainbow for its humor as well; the antics of Jonathan's children brought a smile to my face. I was more than pleased when Jonathan and Katie finally confessed their feelings for each other, to each other. I love nothing better than a happy ending and I got that and more.
