No Other Will Do (Ladies of Harper’s Station, Book #1)
A dynamite adventure and romance!
Karen Witemeyer is one of my ‘constant’ authors... Which means I unfailingly enjoy every book of Karen's—so they are always confidently anticipated! Sometimes even with a little drool. But ‘No Other Will Do’, wasn’t
as constant. It easily exceeded any lofty expectations I already had!
The unequivocally
selfless and compassionate Emma Chandler, has established a colony for
struggling and abused women at Harper’s Station in Baylor County, Texas. These
women were resourceful and intelligent, and got along just dandy without men.
That is, until some threats against them began to get a whole lot more
threatening. Emma knew only one man she could trust to come to their rescue.
Ten years
ago, Malachi Shaw was rescued by a young angel named Emma when he was an
orphaned, freezing, and hungry, homeless kid. Emma and her Aunts gave him a
second chance at life and a future. He’s now a successful explosives expert for
the railroad, but upon receiving a cry for help from his angel in a telegram,
Malachi has no hesitation in dropping everything (not the explosives!) and
races to save Emma from whatever trouble she’s found herself in. This ‘trouble’,
however, soon escalates and the women must choose whether to stay and fight
alongside of him or flee to safety. Malachi’s life isn’t the only thing at
stake. The angel that has always held a piece of his heart—is now snagging the
rest. Unfortunately, they both have very different lives and purposes. But will
any other do for them? And can Malachi be his angel’s savior or will everything
blow up in his face?
Author
Karen Witemeyer has a cracker of a wit which pretty much guarantees, and
delivers, outbursts of laughter in ‘No Other Will Do’. As for the romantic tension, forget about the
characters being breathless… I was the one holding my breath! Expect also to be
buoyed spiritually while reflecting upon God’s promises in helping to defeat our
enemies—and the knowledge that we are not alone with our burdens. Highly
recommended!!
