What a wonderful detailed story that had you on the edge of your seat. The story was so well written. It had interesting descriptions of medical practices and procedures. Written in a way that was easy to understand. This author is so talented! When I am reading a book that is really good. I tell my husband all about what’s happening in the story. He was as invested in the story as I was. I really happy how everything turned out. What an exciting conclusion to this love story. It’s sad that intelligent women in those times were not respected. She was a very smart nurse that worked in a major hospital in Boston. She saw how only the patients with money got good treatment. She found an ad in the paper for a Doctor looking for a trained nurse to work in a mountain town. They wrote back and forth and she got on the train to go. The story gets so much better and you will love it! I highly recommend this book and this author!
Character development, tension, pacing, this story has it all. Faith never disappoints. Nothing silly or superficial. Wonder story telling Faith, but then I an no surprised.
This is a sweet tale of an over worked and under appreciated nurse in a large Boston hospital and of a lone doctor in a Colorado. A place eight thousands feet high in a little mountain town. Dr Tom h writes to several newspapers for a nurse to come assist in his practice. Nurse Dolly reads to advertisement and writes applying for the position. She is accepted and travels days on end to reach the little town and meet the doctor. You will enjoy this short story and its happy ending.
Great story! Dolly Brooks was a well-trained nurse that learned her medical knowledge at a well-known hospital in Boston. She longed for more involvement in medical procedures along with some adventure. When she saw an advertisement for a mail-order bride and/or nurse in a small mining town in Colorado, she wrote her letter. Her life on the frontier and the challenges she had, were well written and I've had the best time reading western books by this author. This is a wonderful read and can be enjoyed by anyone.
No me esperaba para nada encariñarme tanto con esta historia. Me ha parecido una lectura preciosa, súper bien escrita y con una ambientación en el Oeste que te atrapa desde el primer capítulo.
Dolly es una protagonista maravillosa, fuerte y valiente, y la evolución de su relación con el doctor Tom es de lo más tierna. Es una novela muy dulce, perfecta para desconectar y disfrutar de un romance clásico, sano y con un toque de misterio que te mantiene pegada a las páginas.
¡Se va directo a mis favoritos de romance histórico!
Dolly was a nurse living in Boston and working at the hospital, but she wanted more. The hospital catered to people who could pay. She answered an ad for a nurse in a small town in Colorado. Tom was the Dr. with Jed as his helper. Tom was slowly dieing from a gun shot. But, he did not realize what a observant Nurse and care giver Dolly was. Great Story, my favorite character beside Dolly and Tom was Jed.
A sweet story of a love that forms between a frontier doctor and the nurse he advertised for💕
This was a very well written love story about a frontier doctor who had been injured in a bank robbery gone bad and the nurse he advertised for when he realized his health was declining. The characters were very strong and the plot held my attention to the very end.
This story started out with a nurse getting out of the east with no appreciation for her work and then to go to the west. She finds a cold rugged western town and a job with a Doctor who may be dying, then a twist to the story that makes you fall in love with the book.
Nurse working for Doctor who Cates about money more then healing!
Nurse read adds in paper. Answers one! Takes job in Colorado! New job gives her freedom to do her job well! This book is a very good read! You won't be disappointed!!!
As a retired nurse and a lover of the rural west, I loved this story. The story was intense and couldn't stop reading it. Thank you for a different kind of story and one I can relate to.
What a great job of storytelling. Drawing you totally into each piece from first to last. Not the usual love story but one with great depth and care for the other characters.
This book was serious but not heavy, the writing so sparse. I don't think anybody was happy, ever. Certainly they never smiled in the book. The writing was good but very clinical. Did they ever fall in love? I don't think so.
This is the 4th book - so far - that I have read of Faith Quinns, I have loved all 4. The type of story you can't put down and, if you do put it down, you can't wait to get back to it! Highly recommend.
This is the story of frontier Dr. Tom Schaeffer and Nurse Dolly Brooks. Dolly leaves Boston to work with Dr. Schaeffer in Pine Bluff, Colorado. She gets more than she ever dreamed of.
