When Rachel's fiance was killed in a railroad accident, leaving her with nowhere to go, she came to the Brody Hotel as a last resort. With the help of her new friends, she found comfort and healing, and now she believes herself as content as she can be. But when Nicholas Hardy, her fiance's brother, walks into her dining room, her world falls out from under her. Everything she thought she believed about herself, and him, is called into question.

Nicholas wanted a life of adventure with the girl of his dreams by his side, but the death of his brother cast a pall on everything he'd hoped for. When he sees Rachel again, he thinks life has given him a second chance, but then an injury threatens to take everything away from him again.

Two souls looking for a place to call home...and wondering if just by chance, they can find that home together.

A great story about learning to trust in love

Rachel fell in love with Nicholas years before, but his wanderlust cavalier ways frightened her. So she pushed him away and accepted suit of his brother. When he died, and Nicholas found Rachel again, things looked like they would work out. Then tragedy struck again. Nicholas was severely injured and Rachel found herself doubting her heart.
When Nicholas receives an unexpected offer, Rachel has to decide if she truly can trust Nicholas and her own heart.

This series of books are a wonderful world that captures the Mid American life in the late 1800's beautifully. Each story stands alone with characters you have come to love throughout the series.

Not my cup of tea.

I couldn’t get into the story but perhaps, it’s the era. Just not my cup of tea! It was okay for me.

A Careless Wind

Great clean series. Rachel had a hard time dealing with guilt, when her fiance was killed. She had to realize her still deserved happiness.

Sweet clean western romance

Amelia C. Adams is a new author to me. This is book 7 in a series of 15 books. It was a nice story and covered a lot of topics ( be it briefly). The Chinese working on the railroad, opium abuse, parent - child miscommunication... It all tied well into the story. A sweet love story to top it off. Not sure if I could get into reading all 15 + books. But I would try a few of them. As far as the narrator. She was good at all the different characters voices
