Against the Wind - By Amanda Cabot - Review

 

BOOK DESCRIPTION 

Doctor-in-training Louisa Vaughn has no intention of remaining in Sweetwater Crossing. She's just there for a few days to help a friend. But she can't abandon the injured man she finds at the side of the road. Until his broken leg heals, she'll serve as the town's doctor and midwife. She may not be fully qualified yet, but surely she's better than nothing.

Josh Porter's plans to win his grandfather's challenge and fulfill his father's final wish to gain full control of the family business hit a roadblock when he breaks his leg. But his enforced stay in Sweetwater Crossing gives him new ideas about the expansion of the company into new territory--ideas Louisa could help turn into reality.

If only the town were more accepting of Louisa's talents! Someone is determined to convince her to abandon her dream of healing others. Can Josh help her uncover the person behind the threats before it's too late? And is there any future for them together when neither of them plans to stay?

MY REVIEW

I couldn't put down this absolutely wonderful book. There was nothing simple about this story set in the town of Sweetwater Crossing, Texas. There were mysteries to be solved, a strong lady doctor who had prejudices to overcome, and a bit of romance. There was the healing of hearts and families, and there was some emotion and sadness,

This book had a little bit of everything for everyone, especially for lovers of historical Christian Romance. 

The only thing that had me second guessing and wanting more information was the mystery of the previous doctor. There were a couple of things that I read into it that I would have liked answered, but maybe in the next book in the series. 

Overall the writing was good and now I am interested in the previous story for a bit more backstory and the next story to spend more time with these wonderful characters. 

The main couple was wonderful and the evolution of their relationship was organic and true to life. I was pleased with the story development and the natural roadblocks as real life happened around the story. There were moments of laughter and tears. This one tugged as a good story should.

I received an early copy from the publisher via NetGalley and this is my honest review.
