By Kelly Bridgewater
They must uncover the truth before it's
buried forever.
After witnessing a wrongful conviction as a young girl, Rebecca Whitman--the
first female court reporter in Montana--is now determined to defend the
innocent. During a murder trial, something doesn't sit well with her about the
case, but no one except the handsome new Carnegie librarian will listen to her.
Librarian Mark Andrews's father sent him to college hoping he would take over
the business side of the family ranch, but Mark would rather wrangle books than
cows. When a patron seeks help with research in hopes of proving a man's
innocence, Mark is immediately drawn to her and her cause.
In a race against time, will Rebecca and Mark find the evidence they need--and
open their hearts to love--before it's too late?
My Thoughts:
The Heart’s Choice
by Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse is a delightful historical novel set
in Montana at one of their Carnegie libraries. Peterson and Woodhouse are a
dynamic duo who crafts a stirring story that allows readers to escape to the
world of a court reporter and a librarian who find and grow their love of books
and eventually each other. The plot does have a mystery element to it. I really
like how Peterson and Woodhouse allowed the heroine to use her knowledge of
mysteries to help uncover the mystery of an innocent man. I do like how
Peterson and Woodhouse mirrored the past event in the heroine’s life and
allowed it to guide her to solve the current mystery. The romance was not over
the top. A little budding romance as they spent more time together. The setting
was nicely described and displayed for the reader’s imagination. Overall, The
Heart’s Choice by Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse was a good escape
novel to spend a little bit of time with. I am glad that this is a first book
in a series. I will definitely want to see what else happens.
I received a complimentary copy of The
Heart’s Choice by Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse from Bethany
House Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Purchase The Heart’s Choice
