GoodBookStall Review:
Beth is the second of the three sisters left to run Gallatin House, the stage stop in the frontier land of Montana, when their father is killed by a stray bullet. Or was it a stray? This thought hangs over them as they seek to get on with their lives. Beth in particular is very happy that they are able to remain where they are, she has always held it against their father that he would move them on from place to place, and she longed to put down roots somewhere.
As she steals away to read another chapter of her latest novel, she imagines being like the heroines she reads about and longs to meet the man of her dreams.
The characters we met in Book One A Promise to Believe In are all here, and as the story gathers pace Simon and Nick Lassiter the blacksmiths, who have a contract with the stage coaches to supply horses, Rafe the evil owner of the saloon and brothel who would like nothing better than to see the back of the Gallatin girls, and some surprising newcomers, all help to turn this story into a complicated one of twists and turns that has a happy ending yet still leaves questions unanswered. At times a ‘not so gentle’ page-turner.
