I loved this book! Lori Copeland is one of my favorite Christian fiction authors. Even though this is first in a series, it doesn't leave you hanging. But I do hope book 2 will continue their story and include the other characters from book 1. Thankfully I have book 2 so don't have to delay reading it.
Mae and Tom seem to clash, but opposites do attract. Both have responsibilities that tend to blind what's happening between them.
Mae has waited 6 long years for her suitor to pop the question. Not until another available bachelor comes to town do true feelings come forth.
Tom takes leave from his railroad job to seek answers about a possible elderly aunt who needs help only family can give. He doesn't expect what he finds in this small town.
Another reason I liked this book was the locomotive connection. My dad worked for the railroad for 42 years, and I would ride the train to visit my grandparents across the state.
