This novel would benefit from a conscientious copy editor, who would catch typos and grammar mistakes. Nonetheless, I really loved the novel. Like all of Amelia Rose's romance novels, it is in some ways similar to all the others (so you get more of what you already love about Amelia's writing), but at the same time, the story line is ingenious and unique. The heroine, Fiona, runs away from home to avoid getting married off to a wealthy suitor who is twice her age and a womanizer. A maternal housekeeper, Mrs. Dickens, who has always encouraged Fiona to follow her heart, teaching her, for example, to cultivate a vegetable garden, makes all the arrangements for Fiona's escape. Fiona runs away to Montana to find Eddie, the young cowboy with whom she has been corresponding after reading his ad for a mail-order bride. On the way to Montana, the train that Fiona is on is hijacked by robbers, who take Fiona as their hostage, in hopes of getting ransom money from her wealthy father. Eddie learns of this from the town's sheriff, and the two organize a rescue party that ends up capturing the robbers and rescuing Fiona, who now longs for the security of home. Eddie gives her time to recover from her traumatic experience and re-discover what she really wants from life and where she really belongs. At first, the readers, as well as Fiona, are led to believe that her parents punish their rebellious daughter by abandoning her in the robbers' hands. Then we are led to believe that her parents come unexpectedly to Montana to drag their daughter back to Boston. In an ingenious and deeply satisfying twist to the story that I don't want to give away, Fiona's determination to craft her own life and pursue love rather than wealth, combined with the love of those around her, lead her to a happy ending that is deeply rewarding to Fiona and reader alike. Amelia Rose is extremely gifted in crafting unique characters and plot, while sustaining the rustic atmosphere of pioneer life and the same small-town feel we find in each of her novels and that we want to return to again and again.
