Lupe's Luck

The Belles of Wyoming #16

by R. Castro

Lupe Cortez lived in California her whole life, and despite the changes brought by the Mexican American War of 1846 - 1848, she’d been happy, comfortable, and confident in her small community and position in life.

Then her family moved to Belle, Wyoming, guided by Elias Anthony Hill. He was strong, intelligent, utterly charming, and her father’s boss. Elias was the head blacksmith; because he’d inherited the family business from his departed dad.

Elias' higher status in life would’ve been her first warning, because men like him, didn’t usually travel with the crew and they never gave a second thought to girls like Lupe. And mostly, wealthier men didn’t make time to know her kind, a Mexican American, which would’ve made more sense. Yet, there was something different about Elias, and she couldn’t be sure what? Still, Elias wasn't like those other men. He made time to get to know her and really listen, despite their different status in life.

After they arrived in Belle, Lupe found herself the victim of a freak accident in the stables. Not even she could have imagined how different things would be when she woke up.

I just couldn't get into this book. I finished it but it wasn't enjoyable. Lupe seemed like she was supposed to be outspoken and smart but yet she totally avoided everyone in town and didn't try to fit in.
Just not my kind of book. But it was clean and alright.

Lupe's Luck

She came with her family to Belle, but she didn't want to leave California. She didn't believe she would make a good wife to any man. Good clean romance.

Elias- owns the blacksmith company and moved it to Belle for the railroad
Lupe- moved with her family
I enjoyed reading this engaging story that is well written with charismatic characters. Their story has a sweet HEA.
