About the Book The Pursuit of Miss Parish

Love’s gentle promise becomes nothing more than a withered dream.

With dreams of love and hope for belonging, shy Belle Parish leaves her position as a maid in Charleston to travel to New Mexico with her best friend to become mail-order brides. Colt Lawson’s letters hold great promise and while his devilishly handsome face matches his picture, something does not add up. Discovering his lie only moments before they wed, Belle flees the church and straight into the Castañeda Hotel Harvey House. Giving up the prospect of ever marrying, she dons her nun-like uniform and focuses on her role as a Harvey Girl waitress until a strong, former Texas Ranger rides into her life.

Colt Lawson didn’t want to send that letter to Belle Parish in the first place, but her first response had all but captured his heart. When he is left standing at the altar alone, he is left with two choices—either release his dream of a love marriage or attempt to win her heart.

Wooing her would be a lot easier if that Texas Ranger wasn’t back in town.

Who wants a dusty rancher with a past when she could have a shining knight in a Stetson?

My Thoughts on The Pursuit of Miss Parish

The Pursuit of Miss Parish is a quaint sweet historical fiction romance novel. I love this type of book! And I love the mail-order bride era! 

In this novel, our heroine, Belle, goes off to be a mail-order bride with her best friend.  But just before she says I do she finds out that her would be husband has a past he didn’t tell her about.  So she goes to work as a Harvey girl and gives up the idea of ever marrying. 

Now, this man.  He might not have disclosed his past, but he truly did fall in love with her and he would love to convince her to marry him.  But can he do that?

Add in a Texas Ranger who also has a chance of stealing her heart and what happens next?!

Oh and bonus.  This is book two of a series.  However, they can be read as stand-alone novels so don’t worry if you’ve never read book one or can’t find it.
