Synopsis from Goodreads.com
Twenty-six-year-old
Katie Macauley has placed all her hope in Hope Springs, a small town in
the 1870 Wyoming Territory. But if she wants to return home to Ireland
to make amends with her estranged family, she'll need to convince the
influential Joseph Archer to hold true to his word and keep her on his
payroll as his housekeeper despite her Irish roots. The town is caught
in an ongoing feud between the Irish and the "Reds" the frontiersmen who
would rather see all the Irish run out of town and the Irish immigrants
who are fighting to make a home for themselves in the New World. When
Joseph agrees to keep Katie on as his housekeeper, the feud erupts anew,
and Katie becomes the reluctant figurehead for the Irish townsfolk. As
the violence escalates throughout the town, Katie must choose between
the two men who have been vying for her love though only one might be
able to restore hope to her heart.
My Review
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The characters were realistic and likeable, the romance kept me guessing, the history was eye-opening, and the conflict intense. The only thing I didn't like was that the storyline was not completely wrapped up and I have to wait for a sequel...
