Love Finds You in Tombstone, Arizona

My first introduction to the writing of Miralee Ferrell was through another Love Finds You novel, [b:Love Finds You in Bridal Veil, Oregon 6905620 Love Finds You in Bridal Veil, Oregon Miralee Ferrell https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1262639895l/6905620.SY75.jpg 7130022]. I have no however read [b:Love Finds You in Last Chance, CA 6142601 Love Finds You in Last Chance, California Miralee Ferrell https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1347334085l/6142601.SY75.jpg 6321476] which for some purposes could be considered a prequel this this novel. However it is my understanding they stand alone, and reading this one first just reiterates a desire to snatch up the other one as soon as I get the chance. Honestly right now I have a bunch of books in my TBR pile, but when this one arrived I couldn't help but start it, and then at two AM I couldn't help stop at almost three hundred pages in. I couldn't help it. The next day I read it minutes at a time whenever I had an opportunity until I was finished. I just couldn't put it down I was so drawn in. The main male character is my honest to goodness favorite. I felt like I knew Nellie from another story, but just couldn't place it. Every character was real and off the page. This book has all of the good qualities of favorite historicals that I put on my keeper shelf and recommend to friends to come back to. It has reminiscent elements of many favorites such as [b:Redeeming Love 11422 Redeeming Love Francine Rivers https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1550053167l/11422.SX50.jpg 820210], [b:Fountain Creek Chronicles 10309132 Rekindled/Revealed/Remembered (Fountain Creek Chronicles 1-3) Tamera Alexander https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1328310025l/10309132.SX50.jpg 1509692],[b:Yukon Quest 3-in-1 360014 Yukon Quest Pack (Yukon Quest #1-3) Tracie Peterson https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388425722l/360014.SY75.jpg 350179] and others. I do indeed recommend this story as I do everything that I have read as a historical from Summerside Press. I cannot wait to add more of their titles to my shelves! Thanks to Wynn Wynn Media and Summerside Press for providing a copy for review.

It was quite pleasant to have a romance that didn't get siderailed by senseless misunderstandings and which met real issues face-on. Christy is still struggling with the stain of some things from her past and going back to a town filled with those sorts of tawdry places isn't her idea of a vacation. Pretty soon she bumps up against some human trafficking and can't stand by when she sees a young woman in peril.

Of course the saloon owner is going to have a thing or two to say about Christy's plan to steal his slave...

Solid Gospel presentation and characters who exemplify faith nicely.
