A Pony Express Romance
A Pony Express Romance Misty M. Beller
A Christian Historical Romance Novel
After growing up as an orphan, Josiah English wants nothing more than to have his own ranch and raise Arabian horses. Riding for the Pony Express seems like the ticket to his dream. And when he meets the stationmaster’s beautiful sister, it seems he may be within reach of the happy life he craves.
Mara Reid is thrilled to finally meet the man of her dreams, and the fact that they both want to raise horses in the Sweetwater River valley seems like confirmation straight from God.
But when the Express shuts down and Mara's family home is in peril, the danger looming over Mara's life may not be half as destructive as that threatening her heart.

Beautiful, well-written stories that keep you engaged from page one!
I love stories about the time when the Pony Express was active. So excited to read this!
Leah is a wonderful resourceful character, the kind of strongwilled determined woman any lonely rancher can only dream of winning for himself. But Gideon is battling so many demons that he fears letting himself care for anyone ever again. His little sister and ol' Mose nicely round out the cast of this feel good story. We always knew how it would end but it's beautifully told and set in the beautiful mountains of Montana. I didn't need the too frequent reminders of God's plan for all our lives but the author's style is strong enough and engaging enough for me to ignore those references. A great story from an excellent writer.
I love a good murder mystery :D

This book front cover is amazing!!!
There's nothing like a sharp and sassy American lady to remove the starch from a handsome British peer and no one writes a heroine like Emma Brady!
This sounds right up my alley! The cover caught my attention, and the description has me intrigued.
