Within My Heart by Tamera Alexander

What a remarkable book! Within My Heart by Tamera Alexander is a fantastic historical fiction novel set in the frontier days. Rachel Boyd is a widow raising two sons and trying to save her ranch from bankruptcy. She continually runs into Rand Brookston, the person in town she trusts the least, and must rely on his help time after time.

The third novel in the Timber Ridge Reflections series, this book reads well as a stand alone novel. I loved the author's style of writing. She slipped back and forth seamlessly between Rachel's point of view and Rand's point of view. The characters - both main and supporting - were well developed and interesting. The story was intriguing and kept me reading (quickly) to the end. I will definitely be on the lookout for more from this author!

4 stars (out of 5)

I received a free copy of this book from Bethany House in exchange for my fair and honest review.
