.
This is installment continues the story of the basic group of individuals that this series represents from the small western, pioneer town, of Aspen Falls. The focus in this installment is on Doc Cyrus Hemmings, waiting for the arrival of his fiancée, Mary Stark. A deadly outbreak of diphtheria overcomes the town. Doc Hemmings and Mary work together to tend to the sick, knowing some will not survive. There was absolute confusion about the child of Ben and Millie, compared to the previous installment based on their courtship, that was never explained. The residents must fight their fear and grief as well. How many will be stricken by this tragedy?

This series includes short inspirational, faith-based, historical romance stories. They each have good bones and a myriad of potential. They are not very long or particularly challenging. The characters are likable, but they really didn't have much meat on their bones and the conclusions come abruptly with limited details. The plot was initially compelling, including interaction that reflected hope, faith, and the ability to conquer a major conflict or challenge in their lives. As per the description of the book, "In spite of the idyllic setting, many of the inhabitants of the close-knit community must overcome challenges in their personal and professional lives."

Consequently, the shortness of the book gives readers a feel for the author's writing and the author learning her craft, but it doesn't allow enough time to flesh out the characters, develop the plot, shape or develop the story, and conclude in a more dynamic conclusion without such abruptness. Audiences who like romances that take their time to develop characters, good chemistry, and logical progressions of events will be disappointed. Based on the shortness in length, grammatical errors, and lack of development, I am unable to rate this book higher than a 3, even though I enjoyed reading the series.

I read this series through the Kindle Unlimited program on Amazon. These stories include clean romance, each installment is able to stand on its own, with the exception of the first one, (although they make more sense if the complete series is read in order), and deliver the idea or hopeful thought of an H.E.A.

AMAZING!!!

What an amazing story! And what an amazingly skilled doctor in the 1800's who was able to save a whole town minus seven with only his nurse and good thinking and sheer grit.

Great story...

The author has placed the characters together in a story that has possibly the worst case scenario a outbreak of disease. The story is wonderfully told, the end is well presented. Worth reading. The romance helps it .

I enjoyed this book's storyline. This book's storyline was sad 😥. I really liked Doctor Cyrus's character. I really liked Mary's character. I liked the ending.

Charming series

It is very refreshing to read good wholesome books. The ups and downs of life. The closeness of the people in a new settlement helping each other.
