About the book:


     Journey now to the healing spa town of Glenwood Springs, Colorado in 1885 where the past and present collide and a woman is on the precipice of unexpected love.


     Millie Cooper, fisherman’s-daughter-turned-nurse, flees a painful entanglement with the wealthy Drexel family who summered near her childhood home in Nantucket, only to encounter them again six years later in Glenwood Springs. The serenity of Millie Cooper’s mountain hideaway in a town with healing springs is disrupted when she faces caring for the elderly mother and the expectant wife of Stephen Drexel the man she’d once love—at the request of John Drexel, the man who’d kept them apart.


     Will Millie forgive the wrongs she feels were done to her, or will she come to see them as a blessing in disguise that lead her to greater joys?


My review:


     This is a wonderful historical romance.


     The main characters: Millie, John, Katherine, and Stephen are all very well developed. There is a lot of variety in their personalities and traits that come through very clearly over the course of this story. I enjoyed seeing how they interacted with each other and how their relationships changed as the story progressed.


     The plot of this book was great. It kept my interest though at a few times I felt frustrated with the characters and wished they would just be honest with each other so that things could move along a little quicker.


     I’m giving this wonderful book a rating of 5 stars. I definitely recommend it.
