Description
American Frontier Romance
Avalanches, isolation and snow blindness were stark realities for those daring to remain in Idaho’s Sawtooth Range through the harsh winter months. For city dweller, Lena Sommer, the warnings seemed exaggerated.
In the fall of 1886, Lena leaves behind a life fraught with disappointments and loss only to arrive in Sawtooth City and find the man she’d pledged to marry has been killed. To return east is unthinkable; to stay is ill-advised, but she resolves to remain and manage the man’s lodging house despite the warnings. More than her stubborn nature influences her decision. From her first glimpse of this mountain valley, she falls captive to its wild beauty. Feeling she has at last found a hearth to call her own, she eagerly puts down roots. Sharing her love of literature with her lodgers before a warming fire, she builds a family of lonesome souls, where dreams awaken.
However, one man stands apart, disturbing her peace with ominous warnings to leave before winter comes. Evan Hartmann knows from personal loss that winter snows bring to these mountains both unimaginable beauty and death. He is also a man conflicted, because as much as he’d like for Lena to leave the mountains, his heart longs for her to stay.
Comes the Winter is available for purchase in both print and ebook formats.

Great historical read! Lena heads to Idaho territory to marry a man she has never met, when she arrives she learned that he was killed. With Winter coming should she go back to Chicago or stay. This is a fast-paced read with lots of suspense and drama and great characters. The romance is sweet and the story entertaining.

This is the second book that I have read by this author. It is the story of Evan and Lena. In this book you will find a stoy about a journey not only across the land but, of the heart. Sometimes it takes mishaps, disapointments and losing everything you wanted to find what you really need. This is a heartfelt story with wonderful characters and an intriguing storyline. I would definitely recommend this book.

I really enjoyed this historical romance set in 19th century America. Blame it all on Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman and Little House on the Prairie, because I love a good "heading west" story.When Lena finds her governess job in Chicago ended unexpectedly, she strikes up a deal with a boardinghouse owner in Sawtooth, they will marry, and run the business together. However, the best laid plans run awry and Lena finds herself determined to make a life for herself in this harsh mining town. Enter Evan Hartmann, who is dealing with the death of his brother and who doesn't feel Sawtooth is quite the place for a lady from back East. With the help of friends, Lena and Evan will begin to see each other in a new light, but their equal stubbornness might just end their romance before it has a chance to begin.
At times, a bit sugary sweet, Comes the Winter was just the light read I needed. Although I am not familiar with the series, I felt this book could almost be a stand alone. Definitely will keep an eye out for this author in the future.
