Background:
Willow is a widow, full of resolve, and a talented artist
who is seeking a new life, in Cripple Creek, Colorado. She's thrilled to
be able to be around her brother, pastor Tucker Raines, his wife, Ida Sinclair
Raines, and the other Sinclair sisters (who were introduced in the 1st
book). Jobless and still trying to make sense of her life after the death of
her husband, Willow accepts Ida's offer of a job at the family store, but is
searching for more. She finds a help-wanted listing for someone to colorize photographs and
paint portraits from them and applies for the job with Trenton Van Der Veer,
the town's new handsome photographer. When he sees a sample of
Willow's work, he knows he's found his artist.
As Trenton and Willow are trying to find their way as
employer/employee, they both secretly desire more. Susanna comes to town to
throw a wrench into the works, because she wants Trenton's affections.
When
their father arrives, he brings a HUGE surprise, an eight-year-old orphaned
girl from France. The four Sinclair girls: Kat, Ida, Vivan and Nell, who have
been expecting their father to come, now have new obstacles to face at each of
life’s unexpected turns. With unexpected twists and turns, the whole story still
comes together seamlessly. Filled with the
resonating questions that all women face, this romance awakens hope against
grief, love against loss, and dreams against life's unexpected turns.My Opinion:
This is the fourth and final book in the Brides of Cripple Creek Series, but for the most part it stands alone and the author gives good enough backdrop from her previous books to catch you up to speed. I found the characters to be delightful, energetic and loveable. I would recommend this book to all historical fiction lovers and romance lovers alike.
