The Pursuit of Miss Parish: A Victorian Harvey Girls Romance (Aprons & Veils) by Grace Hitchcock
MY REVIEW:
I can’t get enough of this Aprons and Veils series! I love hearing about The Harvey House girls adventures and hope there will be more in this series!
I have read book one and although the main character of that book is mentioned in this book two, they can both be read as stand alone books.
I loved reading about the adventures of Belle as she navigates her new life in New Mexico as a mail order bride. She only has one friend so she doesn’t know who is a new friend and who is a foe in her new town.
Colt Lawson is the other main character and as we get to know him throughout various chapters, I started hoping the two of them would end up together.
This clean, historic story is about love, adventure, second chances and having faith. Highly recommend. I loved it!
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and views expressed are my own.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
With dreams of love and a hope for belonging, shy Belle Parish leaves her position as a maid in Charleston to travel to New Mexico with her best friend to become mail-order brides. Colt Lawson’s letters hold great promise and while his devilishly handsome face matches his picture, something does not add up. Discovering his lie only moments before they wed, Belle flees the church and straight into the Castañeda Hotel Harvey House. Giving up the prospect on ever marrying, she dons her nun-like uniform and focuses on her role as a Harvey Girl waitress until a strong Texas Ranger rides into her life.
Colt Lawson didn’t want to send that letter to Belle Parish in the first place, but her first response had all but captured his heart. When he is left standing at the altar alone, he is left with two choices—either release his dream of a love marriage, or attempt to win her heart. Wooing her would be a lot easier if that Texas Ranger wasn’t back in town. Who wants a dusty rancher with a past when she could have a shining knight in a Stetson?
