Book: Against the Wind



About the book:
Doctor-in-training Louisa Vaughn has no intention of remaining in Sweetwater Crossing. She's just there for a few days to help a friend. But she can't abandon the injured man she finds at the side of the road. Until his broken leg heals, she'll serve as the town's doctor and midwife. She may not be fully qualified yet, but surely she's better than nothing.

Josh Porter's plans to win his grandfather's challenge and fulfill his father's final wish to gain full control of the family business hit a roadblock when he breaks his leg. But his enforced stay in Sweetwater Crossing gives him new ideas about the expansion of the company into new territory--ideas Louisa could help turn into reality.

If only the town were more accepting of Louisa's talents! Someone is determined to convince her to abandon her dream of healing others. Can Josh help her uncover the person behind the threats before it's too late? And is there any future for them together when neither of them plans to stay?


My thoughts:
I've enjoyed quite a few books by author Amanda Cabot and had looked forward to this one's release after previously reading book #1 called After the Shadows in the Secrets of Sweetwater Crossing Series.

I enjoyed reading Louisa's story as she has returned to Sweetwater Crossing.  During her time she renews her friendship with her sister after a strained relationship.  She also practices her skills as a healer when she finds an injured man, Josh.  The community does not accept her as a healer though because she is a woman.  

I enjoyed the friendship that developed between Louisa and Josh and the ways they help each other.

I look forward to reading the next book in this series.  If you enjoy historical fiction check out this book and others by this author.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher and was under no obligation to provide a positive review.

Have a day of blessings!
