review 1: 3.5I remember visiting a ghost town when I was a little girl and couldn’t help but wonder what the people had been like that once lived there. There is something very charming about old ghost towns, I love them. When I learned that Calico was an actual ghost town I was drawn to the story. I think that’s why I liked this one so much, the people seemed real and I was easily able to picture the old western town of Calico (where I definitely plan to visit next time I’m in the area). I’m quickly finding that I just love the Love Finds You series, each book I’ve read has been well researched, with fun plots and likable characters. This was no exception; I fell for Abigail and Nathan right from the beginning and had to keep reading to see how their story would unfold. W... morehile I personally like a bit more romance in my stories, I still enjoyed their courtship (even if it lacked some of the wooing that I so love). Nathan genuinely cares for Abigail and she grows to care for him as well. Reaching a very low point in her life with nowhere to turn she accepts Nathan’s wedding proposal, knowing that he will never love her, at least not like he did his first wife. The mystery behind her father’s death is also a main storyline and kept things interesting (although it was fairly obvious “who done it”). Overall, I thought this was a fun western. Content: Clean, mild religious elements.
review 2: With a dash of mystery, a pinch of suspense, and a mixture of adventure and romance, this book made for a nice, one-time read. It was the first “Love Finds You” book that I’ve picked up, so I was excited to see what these books were like. I am afraid to say that it wasn't the best experience...though it certainly wasn't the worst! The death of Abigail’s father was sad. Even though you don’t get to know him much in the first few chapters of the book, he seemed like such a godly father to Abigail, that you just know someone special was lost. Abigail’s courage through this ordeal was commendable, especially as she tried to get by without her father’s comforting and protecting arms. When she has no choice but to accept a marriage of convenience with Nathan, I was curious how it would all turn out.The love story in this book was sweet as Nathan and Abigail slowly began to respect and love the other. What I found annoying and rather irksome was the fact that they were too stubborn to admit their love to each other! Even when Abigail was packing her bags to leave, he didn’t say anything – and she didn’t confess either! I was almost mad at the pair – I just wanted to yell “Wake up, you two! Don’tcha see what’s happenin’?” lolIt still made for a nice read, though. I would label this book more of a romance story than a mystery, though. The mystery was pretty light and not suspenseful or drawn out to any degree. I was a little disappointed because it was so shallow. Beside’s this, I enjoyed the read, though think it would've been better with less stubborn characters and a stronger mystery plot. less
