He’s the man of her dreams—she just doesn’t know it yet.
New York socialite Jane Cady is the envy of the season, and the supposed love of Graham Bank’s life, until news arrives that her father’s last merchant ship has sunk, costing them everything. To avoid scandal, the family disappears to manage a hotel in Las Vegas, New Mexico. Determined to support her family, Jane sets aside her dream of marriage and joins her father in working for the Harvey House, as a waitress. But when her former fiancé strolls into the Castañeda Hotel, the weight of her sacrifice becomes all too real.
Rancher Wade Sterling is well acquainted with hard work and that Miss Jane is one of the hardest working Harvey Girls he’s ever met, besides his sister-in-law. When Jane faints on duty, Wade catches her and upon her awakening in his arms, her passionate kiss nearly knocks him off his feet. She begs him to play along and before he knows it, she tells some dandy that they are happily courting. Jane later begs Wade’s forgiveness, explaining it was an emergency as the man was her former fiancé and their relationship ended poorly. But, when the dandy stays in town, Wade finds himself in a fake courtship and in love with the woman of his dreams. He only needs to convince Jane that he is the man of hers.
Review:
Jane Cady and her family’s fall from the New England Society leads them to an unexpected place—Las Vegas, Nevada. Jane’s failure in her mind was complete after her disastrous cancelled wedding. What turned out to be a shameful situation actually turned out to be a blessing and a chance at a new life. Wade Sterling was a true knight in a Steston saving Jane from a herd of cattle running through town. But, rescuing her doesn’t stop there as he steps into helping her avoid embarrassment and a potential suitor that her father has arranged. I love that he is always there for Jane and proves this repeatedly. I think Jane was blessed to have a man like Wade care about her. Things to enjoy: dual POV Harvey Girls meet cute horse rancher brothers humor I liked seeing Jane grow in trusting God. It’s nice to see a character grow throughout the story. I recommend this fifth book in Aprons and Veils, and you don’t have to read the other books to follow the plot. Readers from young adult through mature readers will enjoy reading this clean historical romances. I received an advanced copy of the book. All opinions are my own, and I was not required to write a positive review.
