I am excited to share with you a new book called Dreams Rekindled by Amanda Cabot. This is the second book in the Mesquite Springs series.
About the book:
Though she hopes for a quiet, uncomplicated life for herself, Dorothy Clark wants nothing more than to stir others up. Specifically, she dreams of writing something that will challenge people as much as Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin seems to have. But in 1850s Mesquite Springs, there are few opportunities for writers -- until newspaperman Brandon Holloway arrives, that is.
Brandon Holloway has seen the disastrous effects of challenging others and has no intention of repeating that mistake. Instead of following his dreams, he's committed to making a new -- and completely uncontroversial -- start in the Hill Country.
As Dorothy's involvement in the fledgling newspaper grows from convenient to essential, the same change seems to be happening in Brandon's heart. But before romance can bloom, Dorothy and Brandon must work together to discover who's determined to divide the town and destroy Brandon's livelihood.
With this second novel in the Mesquite Springs series, bestselling author Amanda Cabot invites you to discover the healing power of truth.

My thoughts:
I read (and loved) book #1 in the Mesquite Springs series Out of the Embers and was looking forward to reading book #2.
I really like the characters in this book. I liked Dorothy and how she is getting to pursue her dream of writing in this book. I also found it interesting that she is strongly opposed to ever marrying. I liked Brandon too and how he has a secret that weighs so heavily on his heart. I thought the dog was a nice addition to the story.
It's always nice to have characters appear again that I met in the first book in a series. There are several unexpected happenings in the story which keep it interesting.
I enjoyed this book and you should check it out if you enjoy historical fiction. I look forward to book #3's release!

I received a copy of this book from the Revell Reads review program for my honest review. Thank you!
