“The Hope of Azure Springs” by Rachel Fordham

I really enjoyed this book set in the town of Azure Springs, Iowa and I hope there will be other books set in this same town! I really liked the main character Em and her determination to have a good life despite her past, and to help others around her. I liked her determination to find her long lost sister and her unfailing love and devotion to her. Readers will learn more about that time period and the orphan trains which was really interesting to read about.

I loved reading about Sheriff Caleb getting to know Em and protecting her from an unknown enemy. Great story line and characters-highly recommend!

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

About the Book:
Seven years ago, orphaned and alone, Em finally arrived at a new home in Iowa after riding the orphan train. But secrets from her past haunt her, and her new life in the Western wilderness is a rough one. When her guardian is shot and killed, Em, now nineteen, finally has the chance to search for her long-lost sister, but she won’t be able to do it alone.

For Azure Springs Sheriff Caleb Reynolds, securing justice for the waifish and injured Em is just part of his job. He’s determined to solve every case put before him in order to impress his parents and make a name for himself. Caleb expects to succeed. What he doesn’t expect is the hold this strange young woman will have on his heart.

Debut author Rachel Fordham invites historical romance readers to the charming town of Azure Springs, Iowa, where the people care deeply for one another and, sometimes, even fall in love.
