With the
promise of an honest review, Regina Scott sent me Would-Be Wilderness Wife;
the second book in the Frontier Bachelors series. I do like Ms. Scott’s writing and was eagerly
looking forward to reading this book.
Then, I realized this was the second book in the series and the first
book was not yet available in stores.L
Now, I’m looking forward to the first and third books.
Ms. Scott’s heroines
tend to be a bit on the independent side with a healthy dose of common
sense. Just like I like them. Miss Catherine Stanway is no exception. She lost her physician father and brother in
the Civil War and has traveled to Seattle to start fresh. Her wish to never again experience the depth
of pain that comes from losing someone she loves leads her to dedicating her
life to helping others as a nurse. That leads
to her being kidnapped. And the journey
begins.
Drew Willins has
his hands full with a sick mother, siblings to keep whole and healthy and his
father’s dream to carve out of the wilderness.
He doesn't need anything else to take care of. His need for a doctor leads him to Catherine
but he’s not sure she’s what his mother needs.
Then his youngest brother, Levi, kidnaps Catherine and…
You can see
where this is leading. I’m smiling as I
write this. The journey is fun, poignant
and inspirational. We walk with
Catherine (who never wants to hurt again) and Drew (who is
unwilling to take on any more responsibility) as the everyday trials of life bring them to the
decision to let go and trust God.
Now, to go
research more about these Mercer Belles.
