Today I’d like to introduce a friend and fellow OakTara author, Lynnette Bonner. Her debut historical novel Rocky Mountain Oasis, book one in the Shepherd’s Heart Series, was just released.Lynnette has offered to give away an electronic copy of her book to one lucky winner. I had the chance to read this book and really enjoyed it. Here’s my review.
Eighteen-year-old Brooke Baker has been sent west as a mail order bride. Haunted by her past and uncertain of her future, she places her life into the hands of her new husband.
Sky Jordan, a faith-filled rancher, discover his wayward cousin has purchased a mail order bride. Overcome with concern with whom Brooke is about to marry, he decides to intervene and marry her instead.
The new arrangement proves a challenge, particularly for Brooke, who has been unable to trust anyone but herself since her family was killed. When a murder disturbs the peace in their nearby town, Sky and Brooke are pulled into the danger and Brooke must learn to trust her new husband.
Set in the late 1800’s with an old western backdrop, Rocky Mountain Oasis is an entertaining mix of suspense, adventure and romance, coated with an inspirational message.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Once I got into it, I didn’t want to put it down. Lynnette does a superb job at creating inspiring characters and a moving storyline that draws you in and leaves you satisfied.
Anyone who leaves a comment below will be entered to win an electronic copy of Rocky Mountain Oasis. The winner will be announced a week from today.
