Historical romantic novella
.99
The good ladies of Timber are ready to find a wife for their
new single minister. Charles has ideas of his own when he meets Fiona, the
lovely accident-prone and outspoken part-time librarian. Fiona, on the other
hand is holding out for a knight on a white charger to carry her away from her
humdrum small town life. Fiona and Charles are thrown together as they begin to
solve an old mystery which has turned up in a library book. Will Fiona's white
knight ever show up to sweep her away? Will Charles ever run out of invitations
for cream cakes and lemon slice? Fiona might just discover the sound of
hoof-beats when she least expects it.
My Review:
Post World War II in Canada...everyone has been affected
somehow, whether family member or friend, and the new young single pastor in
Timber has his own experience as an army chaplain. Fiona thinks of herself as a
klutz and futureless. Young, naive, unsure, she’s not sure what to think when the
pastor comes calling. Using a little mystery in a library book as the beginning
of their courtship, McGregor paints a charming story of regaining a life of
purpose, and finding a sure path to the future in this novella.
I enjoy this author’s stories and recommend them for readers
who like clean and sweet bite-size romances for a vicarious adventure in
historical Canada.
Sharon McGregor is a west coast transplant from the Canadian
prairies. Her imagination and story weaving got its start when she was an only
child living on a farm. She's moved on from cowgirl dreams to romance and
mystery, but hasn't lost her love for horses.
When not writing or reading, she's busy with the two shops she shares with her
daughter- an ice cream and candy store and a bath boutique.
