Love Finds You in Silver City, Idaho Book

About this book:

"It's 1869, and chaos rules Silver City. As Rebekah Weaver recovers from an accident that has left her badly burned, she worries that her father's handsome new assistant won't see past her scarred exterior. Deputy Marshal Nathaniel Kirkland is working undercover to investigate a series of explosions in the mines and businesses of Silver City. When ominous notes begin appearing on townspeople's doors, Nate needs Rebekah's help to uncover the identity of the perpetrator. As they work together, Nate begins to speculate that Rebekah's "accident" was really a case of intentional sabotage - and that she might still be in danger."

My personal Rating- Three Stars (and a half)
This historical novel focused I'd say 40% on romance and 60% on the mystery. Yes, that is pretty even spilt, I know, but most historical books I've read that mention a mystery on the back-cover are typically 80/20 or even 90/10, so this was refreshing in that way. I really enjoyed the Spiritual Content in this book and the romance was sweet.

*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.

3.5 stars... I think the title is misleading because the book was a lot of mystery and a little romance. The mystery was good... I thought I solved it, then realized I was wrong... But I had hoped for more romance. Not a bad book at all, just depends on what kind of story you're expecting.
