A historical romance that will pull readers back in time and fill their hearts.
Finola Shanahan no longer feels she can have a family of her own and spends her time helping those in need. Her parents, however, keep arranging relationships for her and she must find a way out of each one. She is able to work her way out of each until she meets Riley Rafferty and realizes things are different with this one. As their attraction grows, a cholera outbreak hits St. Louis and their lives are all put at risk.
Finola is one spunky character; even though her parents keep trying to set her up, she has decided it isn’t for her. Once she meets Riley, that all changes and we see her life get turned upside down as she can’t deny the attraction. All this made for an interesting read at times but did take away from the story when it was over the top with their heated glances and such. There is a lot of sexual tension throughout which may turn some readers off. While it was interesting with the characters and what they went through I have to say I liked this one but didn’t love it.
I received a complimentary copy of this title from the publisher. The views and opinions expressed within are my own.
