Happy Friday!
The book I’m featuring this week is:
Amazon | Goodreads
St. Louis
March 1834With shaking limbs, she climbed into the plush carriage awaiting her, the precious bundle in her arms worth far more than the money, trinkets, and trunks of clothing she left behind.
I literally just finished reading this book within the last five minutes. Y’all, I don’t even have the words to tell you how much I love this series, and this book was no exception to that. I will be sharing my full review shortly, but until then I can tell you that I highly recommend it! I was fortunate to have an early copy, but it’s releasing to the public very soon on July 1 🙂
About the Book:
The Wilderness Is a Great Place to Hide
Jacqueline Rivers manages a Pony Express station in 1860 Utah territory after her father’s death. There are daily stresses placed on her in this unconventional role—and now a government official is asking her to sniff out counterfeiters. When Elijah Johnson passes through on the stage while on an exhausting quest to find his boss’s heir, he doesn’t want to leave the beguiling station manager. In fact, he may never leave when caught in the crossfire of the territory’s criminal activities. Can she remain strong when secrets of the past and present are finally unearthed?
Join the adventure as the Daughters of the Mayflower series continues with The Express Bride by Kimberley Woodhouse.
