Heart on the Line

There's not much more satisfying than a sweet romance with a tinge of danger. Grace is a telegraph operator who is in hiding after the death of her father in the mostly all female town of Harper's Station. My heart delighted in the throwback way that Amos, a telegraph operator in a neighboring town, and Grace communicated over the lines, but it was the way he rose to the occasion to offer protection that completely won me over.

The threat is lurking throughout this story, but these strong, quirky, and able characters charm the reader right through the perilous times. Although the plot is somewhat predictable, the "normal" main characters offer a way for the reader to relate. Neither is fantastically outstanding in looks and ability, yet they embody a charm and strength that is captivating.

I adored my time spent in this amusing tale and with these special characters.

Content: mild romance; moderate religious themes; very mild violence/moments of peril

A town of women, run by women.  But what about when men come searching for them?  Most of the women at Harper's Station are there for a reason.  They're hiding from someone or something. 

In Heart on the Line, Grace Mallory is the telegraph operator of Harper's Station.  She has a fun on the line relationship with a man from a few cities over.  She's not one to like men, but this guy seems okay and they have some good laughs chatting on the line. 

But then Grace finds out that someone from her past has found out where she is and she has to figure out if she should flee or fight.  What happens next is hilarious but also some suspense too. 

Amos, the man on the other end of her conversations on the line, overhears or whatever you call it when you eavesdrop through telegraph, a message that's meant for Grace.  He can't unhear and feels he should go save her.  Because he realized he loves her.  

But Amos isn't a cowboy who can shoot and ride in on a white horse.  In fact, he wears glasses and rides a bike.  But he's determined to save Grace. 

This is a wonderful read and the second in a series.  I do recommend that you read book one first as it will flow better as a series that way.  But both books are amazing and I really think you'll enjoy them both.
