About the Book

Series: Silver Lining Ranch
Genre:  
Christian, Historical, Romance
Publisher: Indie
Publication date: May 19, 2018
Desperate to escape an arranged marriage to a womanizer, twenty-two-year-old Maggie Mullaney flees New York for Virginia City, Nevada with her Aunt Liberty, two spunky suffragists intent on bettering the lives of women. Fresh out of nursing school, Maggie hopes to devote herself to serving others rather than just one man, a goal quickly affirmed when she encounters Blaze Donovan, a womanizing cowboy who both riles and rouses her pulse. But when Aunt Liberty’s parents’ house burns down, she and Maggie are coerced into staying at the ranch of Liberty’s ex-husband, Finn McShane, who just happens to be the uncle of the cocky cowboy Maggie had hoped to avoid.
If there’s one thing twenty-nine-year-old Blaze Donovan can’t abide, it’s respectable women who spout piety and prayer, so when he butts heads with perky Maggie Mullaney at St. Mary Louise Hospital, he wants to stay as far away from her as he possibly can. Unfortunately, she now lives in the bedroom next to his in his uncle’s ranch house, a revolting development that sends Blaze to The Ponderosa Saloon more than usual. But when Maggie interferes in Blaze’s life by converting his favorite “disrespectable” girl, Blaze is determined to make her pay. Only problem is—the price HE has to pay may be a little too steep for his heart.

Review

Love's Silver Lining is a fabulous beginning to Julie Lessman's newest series, Silver Lining Ranch. I have to admit, I have not read any of her books before and I am not sure what I have been waiting for. If her other books are like this one, then I have been missing out. I love western fiction and this one does not disappoint. I love the setting, the characters, the vivid details and descriptions, and, of course, the romance. Wow! No wonder this author comes highly recommended in that department. It is, also, full of faith and inspiration that a reader does not want to miss. 
I give Love’s Silver Lining a well deserved five plus stars. I can not wait to find out what happens next in the the Silver Lining Ranch series. 
I received this book from the publisher, but was not required to write a review. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
