Description
Widow Celina Innes, a dress shop owner in the small 1886 mining town of Aspen, Colorado, struggles to run her shop and live down her late husband’s bad choices for the sake of her four-year old daughter, Keena. She made the mistake of following after one man’s dream of striking it rich and has sworn not to do it again. Co-owner of Toussaint’s General Store, Mikel, watches this proud woman run a successful business but wishes he could make her life a little easier. He has to be contented by slipping treats to the child in hopes of pleasing her mama. When illness strikes the child, Celina turns to Mikel for help and they work together all night to get past the crisis, deepening their friendship. But when the crisis is over, Mikel disappears from Aspen and Celina learns he is seeking to increase his stores. How could she have been so wrong about the man? Can a woman sworn to put down roots and a man looking for more riches find happiness?

I listened to this one on audio. Short but sweet book taking place in Colorado. I enjoyed this book. It seems the author put everything you need in this short book. Highly recommended. Narrator did an excellent job.

This is a good short book. Meeting someone then friendship then love. And working at getting what you want instead of sitting back and hoping it happens. I enjoyed this quick listen. Hollis Beck does a good job narrating this book. I received a copy of this book from audiobooks unleashed but that has no influence on my review.
