Her plans are abruptly changed, though, as halfway there, she loses everything during a scary robbery. Left with nothing but a tiny speck of hope, Alyssa steps off the train to another small town. Luckily for her, she's soon invited to become the cook for a rancher who desperately needs a helping hand. To her surprise, she discovers a well-hidden softer side of him that makes her heart flutter. Will she be willing to hold herself back in this small town and abandon her lifetime dream, or will she come to realize that home is where the heart is?

Will he find the right words to tell her how he feels and give her a reason to stay?
Both Alyssa and Bryce are struggling to find where they truly belong. Despite the strong spark between them, confronting their emotions and fighting for them may be the greatest challenge they will have to face.

Heaven Sent
First issue she leaves her home against her parents wishes. She’s going to Chicago alone. The train is robbed all her money is taken. She has no skills apart from baking a pie. She gets hired as a cook and thankfully her boss’s mother teaches her how to cook. When the boss asks what her plans are she doesn’t know but she gives it a think. She knows he is right but determined to prove she can. Meanwhile he asks her for help stocking up for the winter months she agrees. They each have feelings for each other but alas no one ever shows it or talks about it. When It’s to late she’s on the train and he runs to catch up.
The entire story was good until the ending on the writer’s page, to many gaps left in question. The entire book was talking about his financial situation and the ending doesn’t tell us anything.

Fairly good book
I don't like books where the characters spend most of the time trying not to love each other. This is one of those books.

💕💕ONE ENCHANTING DELIGHT💕💕
Exceptional! Carol makes magic once again with this brilliantly spun debacle, weaving a cocoon around you so intricately and precise, drawing you deeper into this tangled web hooking you from the start and reeling you in for the duration, launching this jewel to staggering heights. Shenanigans, escapades and havoc run amuck, baring the fiery quirks and defying bents, putting our characters through their paces, thrusting this hot little number to life spectacularly. You feel everything the characters feel with every fiber of your being, shattered boundaries are amplified and exploited, keeping you riveted on a razors edge and frozen to your seat, wrapping this baby up sleek shiny and tight. The characters, banter, interactions and charged atmosphere are realistic, complex and genuine with traits and qualities, add depth and diversity, blending into charismatic personalities. The scenes are abundantly descriptive with colorful details that blend and flow, creating one vivid backdrop that's so rich and lively it feels as though you were transported to ground zero with them. Remarkable job Carol, thanks for sharing this thrilling block buster with us.

She spent years saving up for her dream only to have it taken away by circumstances beyond her control. Her plan took a big turn to working for a rancher in a place she didn't mean to end up. But he needs her as he is in over his head since his father is no longer there. A man who doesn't know what a happy moment is until her. But she plans on leaving for where she was headed. They are getting big feeling for each other. Can they make it work and can he keep her there? It is emotional, exciting, surprising, dramatic and so much more. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.

Loved the piece.
Do you believe in soulmates will if not you will after reading this gem? Alyssa thinks moving east will change her life no more small town for her. Then things happen and she ends up again in a small town but this time is working on a ranch. Bryce the ranch owner is trying to come to terms with running a ranch after his father’s passing. The author has written wonderfully detailed descriptions of the area it takes place in and has brought the characters to life in this super book. I always look forward to reading a book by Carol Colyer. This is a book I am happy to recommend it was outstanding.

It is good to have dreams. Dreams need to have a dash of reality. Fate steps in in the form of a train robbery. Alyssa has a dream; Bryce has a fear of not fulfilling his father’s dreams and plans. Brought together by her need for a job and his need to take care of his mother, they really do not get off to a good start. Carol Colyer is a master with bringing characters to life. Her books have romance, humor and some conflict, even if it is of personalities. I enjoyed watching Alyssa and Bryce slowly learn to communicate with each other.

With such complex characters and a storyline that keeps your attention you will be glad that you read this story. Alyssa has been saving her money for a long time so that she’ll be able to travel to Chicago. Unfortunately things don’t go as planned, she’s stranded in Kansas and broke after a train robbery. Through the kindness of some local residents she has a roof over her head and food to eat, but she needs to find a way to earn some money to continue her journey. What kind of position is she suited for?

Good Read
Bryce & Alyssa were two unlikely people to fall in love since she was so set on going to Chicago & Bryce was struggling with his ranch management. After Alyssa was robbed of all her money on a train headed for Chicago in the middle of a small town in Kansas, she got a job cooking for Bryce at his ranch. A must read to find the action from her new job to her next train rude to Chicago. Good book.

Disappointing Ending
Bruce is a jerk, and somewhat childish. He’s mean when he doesn’t get his way. Alyssa is selfish and blind when she has her heart set on something. She figured him out earlier in the book but couldn’t figure out that he didn’t want to leave. Blind as a bat because she wanted to go to Chicago.the book is god but the character don’t stay true to who they really are, neither do the minor characters.

Sweet
This was one of the better books that I've read by Ms. Colyer. It still could have used a little more care in editing for grammar and spelling, but was better than most of this author's other books I've read. The story is good, the characters interesting. An enjoyable, quick read.

Great romantic adventure
Great set of "coincidences" that make the story hard to put down. In real life you would say that all things happened so that this couple could meet and fall in love. This makes this story of adventure and personal growth of the characters hard to put down. Highly recommend.

Great Historical Western Romance Book
I really enjoyed reading this book. I liked the aspects from a woman's point of view living in the western states and how they resolved their conflicts with the men they love. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading historical western romance books and also has happy endings too.

I liked the premise of the storyline and that people gave her a chance after the train robbery. I grew very weary of hearing her idolize “Chicago”. The story could have been shortened by the characters just being honest about their feelings for each other. These types of drawn out prolonged writings are frustrating to me.

Wonderful-Different Kind of Love Story!
I love this story. I didn't want to put the book down. I love the different concept of reading how difficult it could be for a management to express himself and how the entire story just flowed with love the entire time. I couldn't wait to read what was going to happened next. I can read this book over and over again! A very good read!

A Pleasant Way to Pass the Day
I enjoyed this story very much. Ms. Colyer has created realistic characters that move the story along without the need for some extraordinary events or circumstances to happen along the way.

Hope can make one’s soul happy!
This was a very nice story about how one’s plan’s can go wrong, and leave you hoping for a better way to be able to find a job! And maybe something to keep you hoping for a better outlook on life!

Historical western romance
I enjoyed your story for the most part. It did have me struggling to keep with it a little bit. Both of them were a bit frustrating her with her attitude leaving home struck me as incredibly naive and a bit foolish and he was a bit of a jerk.

How could she deal with his moods; sweet now, cold next
A good read and story line. One of following your dream weather with or without support. Also one of giving up a dream to fulfill a family obligation and dealing with loss even years later.

The grass is greener on the other side or you don't miss your water till the we!l runs dry are inapplicable cliches for this story. But you have to be willing to take a chance. You never know until you try.

For a single woman to be ambitious back then was almost unheard of, love her spunk. I loved how this stories events unfolded, Bryce after all was said in done finally earned his ascension. Don't skip the epilogue, so lovely.
