About the book:
Men are optional.
That’s the credo Emma Chandler’s suffragette aunts preached and why she started
a successful women’s colony in Harper’s Station, Texas. But when an unknown
assailant tries repeatedly to drive them out, Emma admits they might need a man
after all. A man who can fight – and she knows just the one.
Malachi Shaw
finally earned the respect he craved by becoming an explosives expert for the
railroad. Yet when Emma’s plea arrives, he bolts to Harper’s Station to repay
the girl who once saved his life. Only she’s not a girl any longer. She’s a
woman with a mind of her own and a smile that makes a man imagine a future he
doesn’t deserve.
As the danger
intensifies, old feelings grow and deepen, but Emma and Mal will need more than
love to survive.
My review:
An exciting
historical romance novel!
This is first
book that I’ve read by Karen Witemeyer. She has now been placed on my favorite
author list. I have to be sure and find all of her other books and read them
too.
The characters in
this story are incredibly well developed. They have a wide range of
personalities and backgrounds that have made them the people that they are. I
thoroughly enjoyed the interactions between them, both one on one or in a group
setting.
I was especially
drawn to Emma and Malachi. The deep connection between them was first formed 10
years before the start of the danger in this book. It is the foundation for the
trust that they in each other for the trials they are trust into. Add on top of
that a deep belief in God and trust in Him for guidance and the background is
set.
I have to give
this wonderful book a rating of 5 stars. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
