Publisher's summary

Dr. Joshua McClain is heading west, but first stops in Hillsdale, Michigan, to break the marriage contract his late mother arranged between him and Katie Clark.

Years ago, Katie left him behind in Charleston after the tragic death of her mother. But after a train crash, he comes face-to-face with Dr. Kathleen Clark, his childhood friend all grown up.

When Josh shows up in town, claiming they're betrothed, Katie refuses to consider an arranged marriage. She'll marry for love or not at all. Besides, he's headed for Kansas Territory; her practice is here in Hillsdale. Then, why are they both finding it hard to break their betrothal and say goodbye?

A Delightful Story

This was a fresh approach to romance and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Stayed up late to finish it. Once started I couldn't get myself to pause it. I enjoyed the romance, the bit of adventure with the train wreck, add a touch of mystery to the mix and you have a great story. And, of course, I always like a happy ending. This author keeps it clean with no inapporpriate language or content. I always am comfortable recommending her books to friends and family.

The narration was quite good making the characters easy to picture in my mind. Added to the enjoyment of listening to the book.

I requested this audiobook from the author and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Very good

I really enjoyed this book, especially because I am from MI and know exactly where Hillsdale is. I think this story moves along well, has a little suspense to keep you guessing. I love how the friendship Joshua and Katie had helps them rediscover each other later in life. It is nice to see the respect Josh has for Katie as a doctor even though most of the town doesn't want to accept her as such.

Never give up in the face of personal struggles

Katie is working in a man's profession according to mid-1800s standards. The townspeople don't want to accept that she is as capable as any male physician. When her childhood friend, Joshua comes to town to break an engagement agreement made long ago. However after spending some time with her, he realizes what a valuable asset she is to the community at the same time he realizes he no longer wants to break the agreement. Doctoring is important to Katie, but she realizes how much she values Joshua's friendship. She doesn't think she can have her important work and marriage. In the end they resolve their problems so she can continue to work as a doctor and become a helpmate.
