Giveaway & Review of Three Northern-set Novellas in: Of Rags and Riches Romance Collection

Of Rags and Riches Romance Collection(Barbour, July 1, 2017)

Before I misplaced my Kindle Fire, I was able to read three of the novellas from this wonderful collection. Disclaimer: I read my copy as a download from NetGalley via the publisher, Barbour, and am under no obligation to post a positive review. I posted the review of Natalie Monk's novella separately!  We have Natalie Monk, Anne Reed Love, and Jaime Jo Wright all visiting with us on OWG blog over the next month! 
My take:

I really loved these three novellas because two are located not far from my current story 

world (1890s Michigan's Straits of Mackinac and Upper Peninsula) but one, Anne 

Love's, is very near Mackinac Island where my July release is set and in the same year!!! 

So it was super fun reading all three of these novellas! 

(CFP: I apologize for the weird formatting! I've tried everything I know and nothing has fixed it -- so here we are:)

The Fisherman’s Nymph by Jaime Jo Wright - Flambeau River, Wisconsin, 1890

A sweet love story !

An impoverished young woman, the daughter of an outdoorsman fly fisherman, has to

put up with rich young city men who visit. Some hope to hook her! But the feisty 

heroine isn't about to be snagged by someone who isn't a real stand-up kind of guy.  A 

really fun story. I loved reading this!

The Gardener’s Daughter by Anne Love - Bay View, Michigan, 1895

Both the wealthy young hero and the sweet librarian assistant heroine will tug at your 
heart. Can they overcome the differences in their social status? Like I mentioned, this is 
set in the margins of my own story world and in the same year as My Heart Belongs on 
Mackinac Island: Maude's Mooring, so this was like visiting with some of my story 
world neighbors! That was really fun! 

A Tale of Two Hearts by Gabrielle Meyer - Little Falls, Minnesota, June 1899

I am really fascinated by the innovations that developed at the turn of the century. Car 
races became really popular but very different from how we think of them today, as 
motor cars were brand new! Lucy has fallen in social status from one of the upper class 
to being a lowly servant. Elijah seeks a chance to prove himself with the newfangled 
automobiles. Lucy wants to win the prize in a contest, to help her disabled sister, but 
will Elijah be her nemesis?  A lot of nice romantic tension in this smooth read.

Purchase your copy from CBD, from your local Christian bookstore (ask them to order if 
they don't have it) Barnes & Noble, and at Amazon!
