Review of Love Finds You in Tombstone, Arizona by Miralee Ferrell

Miralee Ferrell's books are a delight to this reader. From her historic Love Finds You books to her contemporary The Other Daughter and Finding Jeena, Miralee delivers a compelling story that entertains and satisfies.

Her latest accomplishment, Love Finds You in Tombstone, Arizona, unfolds a romantic tale set against the backdrop of one of the old west's most notorious historic towns. If you are drawn to the intriguing personality of the rugged denizens of frontier days with a questionable history and the ladies whose pasts are less than stellar, you must read this book.

Miralee delves into the life of character Christy Grey beyond her appearance in Love Finds You in Last Chance, California. When Christy is called home, she not only finds her brother unreliable to help with her ailing mother, but encounters outlaws during a stagecoach holdup on her journey. Her dilemma worsens when she promises one of the outlaws involved to keep his identity a secret when it is revealed to her. Christy's problems and her past serve as a stumbling block to the dreams she hopes to someday fulfill.

Nevada King has dreams of his own. Yet, circumstances beyond his control put him in a bad light to Christy, the woman for whom he feels a growing attraction. He also lives in constant danger of pursuit by outlaws who are out for revenge. As Nevada proves himself to be a friend not only to Christy, but also to her family and a saloon girl looking for a way out of the sordid life that has trapped her, Christy's heart softens toward him.

Miralee has interwoven real life documented historical occurrences with her fictitious but believable characters. She has crafted a story that deposits the reader smack dab in the midst of the old west in the late nineteenth century.

Review of Love Finds You In Bridal Veil Oregon by Miralee Farrell

Lots of yucky mud around today. We brought our granddaughter and her little friend home from dance class last evening in a hard rain. By the time my daughter arrived after work to pick Madi up, the rain had changed to snow. There was just a light dusting on the ground this morning and a lot of ice. I about fell when I went to exercise. The parking lot was a skating rink.

I belong to a group that promotes historical novels entitled Crown Fiction Marketing. We keep in touch with each other, and when someone has a new release, the members do their best to get the word out about it.

Today, I am going to review a book I picked up the other day because I recognized the author. Her name is Miralee Farrell and her book is entitled Love Finds You in Bridal Veil Oregon. It is one of a series of “Love Finds You” books published by Summerside Press.

Bridal Veil is the story of a young woman whose marriage plans are interrupted by her father’s well-intended meddling. She learns of her father’s deception after his death. The story tells of Margaret’s emotional and spiritual journey when her former sweetheart returns to Bridal Veil.

The hazards of the logging trade are skillfully threaded throughout the book, adding excitement and authenticity to the story.

Mixed in to the plot is the presence of another important man in her life and her sense of responsibility to a pair of orphans who arrive in town on the run from their abusive caretaker. Margaret searches her heart and discovers God’s will for her life as she struggles to protect the children from harm. They are under scrutiny as possible suspects in a mysterious murder.

The author does well with character development. The unique trait she gives to the orphan Joel and his sister Sammie’s protectiveness toward her brother adds flavor and depth to the story. I enjoyed the twist that Miralee uses to finish her entertaining tale.

I look forward to reading more from this talented author.

The "Love Finds You" books all depict real towns throughout the United States whee fictional stories are set. To learn more about the "Love Finds You" series, go to the Summerside Press website.
