A Moment to Love by Tracie Peterson (Austenprose PR Book Tour)

 


Which book would you love to live in?  I love historical fiction and while reading this book, I wanted to live in 19th century Cheyenne.

Dr. Carrie Vogel is a driven and gifted young woman who is a doctor at age 24 in a time when there were not many women doctors.  She is engaged to another doctor, Oswald, 15 years her senior due to their mutual interest in medical research.  After he steals her research and calls it his own, Carrie decides she is going to break the engagement and leave Chicago to return to her hometown of Cheyenne. Her friend Spencer Duval travels with her. Spencer is a Pinkerton agent searching for the criminal who killed his father.  Carrie agrees to marry Spencer to provide him cover while on his mission.  Will they become more than friends?  Will Spencer be able to quench his desire for revenge?

My thoughts on this novel:

·       This novel is a clean read and sweet romance.

·       I love the trope of marriage of convenience, and this was a good story in that trope.

·       I enjoyed the theme of forgiveness.

·       Maybe it was my love for Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman as a teen, but I loved that Carrie was a doctor and the medicine and science that was included in the story.

·       The Cheyenne setting was great, especially as juxtaposed with the Chicago setting at the start of the novel.

·       I liked getting to know Carrie’s family better when they moved back to Cheyenne.

·       The romance between Carrie and Spencer was wonderful.  I like how they both supported in each in their different endeavors.

·       This novel is the third in “The Hope of Cheyenne” series.  It can be read as a standalone, but it is also enjoyable as part of the series (I read the first book).

Overall, A Moment to Love by Tracie Peterson was an engaging sweet romance with unforgettable characters.
