About the book:
Grace Mallory left Colorado on the run. She's running from the men who murdered her father. In Harper's Station, she has finally found a place she can call home. She's working as the telegraph operator. Yet even in Harper's Station, she's not completely safe. When her location is discovered by those who killed her father, Grace logs off of the telegraph rather suddenly. Amos Bledsoe, the operator on the other end of the telegraph, has been chatting to Grace for months over the wire. When she abruptly disappears in the middle of their conversation, he becomes concerned. He is determined to meet her in person to see if she's ok. Soon both of them find themselves trying to keep themselves and the town safe.

My thoughts:
I always enjoy reading Karen Witemeyer's books. They are fun and sweet. This one had just a tough of romantic suspense in it.

I really enjoyed getting to know both Grace and Amos. I also enjoyed visiting with the other characters in Harper's Station. Sometimes, it seems that secondary characters can stand out. And in this case, all of the ladies of Harper's Station certainly stand out.

This book, overall, was a delight. I recommend it to fans of Karen Witemeyer.

I received a copy from the publisher for free to review. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

Emma Chandler doesn't need a man. After all, she's the founder of a women's colony in Harper's Station, Texas. But someone wants the women to leave and has been threatening the women. Emma doesn't know what else to do other than to send for her best friend, Malachi Shaw. Malachi has finally earned the respect that he has craved his entire life. Yet when he receives a telegram from Emma, he drops everything to go to Harper's Station and the girl who once saved his life. As Malachi sees Emma for the woman she's become, he can't help but realize that he's in love with her. But is there any hope that love can blossom between a woman who doesn't need a man and a man who will do anything to protect her?

I have read every one of Karen Witemeyer's books, and I've enjoyed each of them. This one was no exception. I love the ladies of Harper's Station. I love how they band together to find out who has been threatening them.

I loved both Malachi and Emma. Their interactions were, at times, hilarious. And at other times they were sweet. But still, I enjoyed these two characters.

I realize that this review is rather short. I think that's because I found the book delightful, and can't say anything else about it.

I received one copy from the publisher to review and a second copy (which I have given my mother) from the author to promote. My thoughts and opinions are my own.
