Ms. Sarah Richmond has done a great job of integrating the people of Ragtown into a collection of sweet, easily-read love stories. The main thing I noticed was that all three of the women were strong and had abilities to think and act effectively. We were not subjected to the concept that women need a man to lead. I appreciate that all three knew what was necessary to do to get the desired outcome.Both the main characters and their subordinate counterparts were believable and interesting. I recommend this book to anyone who appreciates a love story with heart.-4 Hearts from Brenda Talley for The Romance Studio Henry Barrett rides into Ragtown on his black mule and catches the amorous attention of the widow Carlson.
