I always feel more than satisfied with her books - I feel encouraged in my faith. Her stories are well balanced between the action / suspense, romance, and Christian theme. Note: I received a complimentary copy for an honest review.Įvery book that I've read by this author has been excellent, and this is no exception. I recommend it!īalanced between action, romance, and Christian theme

As he battles the unknown assailant for this town of women, he shines! And, I loved getting to know the women! I hope there are more books about them! I really had a hard time putting this book down and couldn't wait to see who the assailant was and how the book ended.

I loved this latest offering from Karen! It is quite different from her other books because it is more serious and it's definitely less humorous but I actually think it's become my favorite! The characters are amazing and the transformation of Malachi from beginning to end is superb! He thinks so little of himself because he's an orphan but he's truly a special man. However, in Emma's town, an attacker repeatedly comes to oust the women from the town and Emma doesn't know what to do so she asks Malachi to come and help her.

They've kept in touch through the years by letters but haven't seen each other. From the first page when a young orphaned Malachi who is freezing &starving, stumbles into a barn to seek shelter and is found by an angel in the form of a young Emma Chandler, I was hooked by this book! There was no turning back for me! Fast forward to 12 years later when Emma has founded a "women's colony" of sorts for abused women or women that just need a fresh start and Malachi has finally earned respect he's craved as an explosives expert for the railroad.
