Each of the three
tales is a love story with some mystery. One couple is engaged. The other two have just
met, but each couple has a complete story.
The Gentleman
Smuggler’s Lady pairs
Helen, a governess returning to England to care for her pastor
father, with Issac, a smuggler. However, the smuggler is also the
owner of an estate who has given her father a cottage to live in and
the sustenance to care for him in his illness. Helen doesn’t want
to hide a lawbreaker, but she is beholden to him for her father’s
care.
The
Doctor’s Woman brings
Emmy Nelson, the daughter of a missionary doctor, into contact with
Dr. James Clark, the new doctor at Fort Snelling. During a Dakota
uprising the doctor has no one to help him except Emmy. They
find a new respect for each other and love.
A
House of Secrets features
an engaged couple,
Amanda and Joseph. Both want to help the poor of the city. Amanda,
Ladies Aide Chairman, wants to start a school. Joseph want to help
young women escape from prostitution. Although their aims are the
same, a secret separates them.
The
three stories are delightful romances. I have to
admit
the first was my favorite probably because of the action. However,
the other two are well done with characters you can relate to and
well described settings. All three are true to the era. They showcase Christian ideals and the romance is clean and delightful. If
you enjoy historical romance, these are good novellas.
I
received this book from Barbour Books for this review
