No Other Will Do... A Sneak Peek
Welcome to Sneak Peek Saturday on Reading List!
Current book:
No Other Will Do
Karen Witemeyer
Goodreads Summary:
Men are optional. That's the credo Emma Chandler's suffragette aunts preached and why she started a successful women's colony in Harper's Station, Texas. But when an unknown assailant tries repeatedly to drive them out, Emma admits they might need a man after all. A man who can fight--and she knows just the one.
Malachi Shaw finally earned the respect he craved by becoming an explosives expert for the railroad. Yet when Emma's plea arrives, he bolts to Harper's Station to repay the girl who once saved his life. Only she's not a girl any longer. She's a woman with a mind of her own and a smile that makes a man imagine a future he doesn't deserve.
As the danger intensifies, old feelings grow and deepen, but Emma and Mal will need more than love to survive.

"Guns only breed violence." "I don't like it none either, Miss Bertie, but this fella has already proved himself to be dishonorable... If we plan to push back, we might have to do in a language he understands." p 32
Initial Thoughts
I really enjoyed this book. It is clearly a historical, Christian fiction piece. If you are a fan of this genre you will most likely enjoy it. While in typical genre style, the main characters fall in love and find a way to make room in their lives for each other, the stronger female lead was a nice change of pace. It was a fun quick read, perfect for summer!
