Great historical romance

"What was love if not a desire to make someone happy? Just because she feared she couldn't, didn't mean she didn't desperately want to." Another sweet, uplifting historical from Melissa Jagears. This is book 2 in the Frontier Vows series but can be read as a stand-alone. The setting of Wyoming Territory in 1884 is very tangible and palpable as each person works hard to make way in the wild west. For Corinne, the town laundress, life gets more difficult as pain interferes with her ability to keep up with her livelihood. Nolan, a disabled rancher, already has limitations on what he can do for his business but gets slammed into a huge obstacle when his father's will stipulates marriage for him to inherit the land. Both characters are vulnerable and quite broken, physically and emotionally. It is easy to fall in love with both of them - Corinne with her insecurity from her previous experiences and Nolan with his inability to believe that he's worthy of love and respect. Corinne is creative and resourceful while Nolan is practical, good with numbers and has a great sense of humor. Their dialogue is fun, their friendship that develops from their initial business agreement is endearing, and the fast-paced plot that includes a scheming villain is quite exciting. There is sacrificial love, forgiveness, and healing in Corinne and Nolan's relationship that will tug at your heartstrings. If you enjoy historical romance, you will definitely enjoy this book. I received a copy of the book from the publisher/author via Celebrate Lit Tours and was under no obligation to post a positive review. All comments and opinions are solely my own.
