Great story, enjoyed very, much. Each one of the trilogy is a great stand alone.
GREAT READ,SO EASY TO READ AND INTERESTING.
Book #3 in the Coming to America series. Mary Malone has come from Ireland to marry the father of her child. She finds out that he is dead, so ends up in a saloon in Idaho. She is attracted to the sheriff, but doesn't want to as she has a secret to hide. Nice, flawed characters and easy to like. Easy read and enjoyable.
Good book about people of Christian faith who are also "real" in the ways the live, and the mistakes they make.
Easy read. I relly enjoyed this book. Third in the series.
A great love story! I thoroughly enjoyed it! An Irish lass comes to America, finds great trouble, then a great love!
I loved this book. Robin Hatcher is a very good writer.

From the "Coming to America" series - very, very good!
A very good read, recommend it, Hatcher is a great author
Although this is book three of four, I think each of the first three can be stand-alone novels. I didn't think I'd missed anything important in the previous novels. Mary Emeline Malone came to America looking for her fiance' (who had left her in Ireland and already moved to America). When Mary arrives in New York, she finds out that her intended had already married another and then died.
While Mary is in service in New York, the master of the house propositions her and a tussle ensues and the man is struck with a treasured cigar box. Mary runs, taking the decorated cigar box, and escapes on a train out of the city. Along the way, Mary is befriended by a very-ill madam, on her way back to Whistle Creek, Idaho. When invited, Mary decides to travel with Blanche; one of Mary's brothers is supposed to be a miner in Idaho. Mary hopes to find him and disappear into the wilds of America.
Of course, the one person Mary wants to avoid, the sheriff of Whistle Creek, immediately becomes interested in Mary. This is a very readable story with lots of interesting subplots to move things along.

Good read. My copy of this book has different cover art than what is shown, but is "In His Arms" by Robin Lee Hatcher.
