This was my first book by Anna Schmidt, and I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity to review one that was the first in a new series. I had heard of Harvey Girls, but had no clue as to what they were. I figured it was some sort of fashion style. I had no idea they were actually waitresses at Harvey Houses, restaurants and hotels built by The Fred Harvey Company to serve patrons along railway routes to the western U.S. in the latter part of the 19th century. It's great to learn a bit of history alongside my romance!
This book started off rather slow for me, but finally took off halfway through the story. I was glad I didn't give up on it, because it ended up being a very enjoyable book. Grace was a Missouri farm girl who headed to New Mexico for a job as a Harvey Girl. Her family's farm was in financial straits, and she wanted to make money to assist them. On the train she meets handsome Nick, a ranch foreman. The two are instantly attracted, and the beginning of their romance is very sweet. They fall in love and decide to make a life together, but someone steps in to take away their happiness. That's when things really rev up and get exciting.
Beside Grace and Nick are a great bunch of supporting characters. Grace has two great friends in calm Emma and feisty Lily. I also enjoyed co-workers Bonnie, Aidan and Jake, and the rancher and his wife who employ Nick. I'm most interested in the good looking sheriff with the cute dimple. Might we see him and Lily starring in a book together? I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
I received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley. I received no compensation for my review, and all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
