One look into his piercing blue eyes, and I knew there was no way I could ever say no to Carl Ward. I wasn't sure he could help me, but more than anything, I wanted to see him again.

"Oh, Mr. Ward," I said. "Nothing would please me more."

Chastity Lilly is no flapper. In 1920s New York, she's determined to find a career as a teacher so she can support her family upstate. But one thing leads to another, and the company she keeps in the big city leads her down a very different path than the one she sought.

When she helps a handsome rancher in town looking for his own errant sister, can she turn her act around? Will she take his offer of a teaching position in Wedlock, Montana, and make a brand-new start? And if she does, can she - and the rancher - leave the past behind to forge a new future together?

Not if the rancher's sister has her way.

This is a sweet historical Western romance. There are no PG-13 or R-rated scenes.

Yes, this is a (very lovely) romance story - but what I find actually even more compelling is the fact that it is so much more. Chastity is studying to become a teacher, but a string of unfortunate events and some bad friends / people in her life severely limit her options to teach in upstate New York. Instead she is left with no choice but to go to Montana, where carl ward hired her to be the teacher of the town. Sadly, she can’t run from her past.

Leslea Tash wove a wonderful story with a range of characters (one of them repeatedly cracks me up - he’s a hoot! But has a lot of depth to him, too…) and Eileen did a wonderful job at the narration. Seriously, the encounters between Jessica and Chastity are great, as their personalities are basically diametrically opposed.

This book has some serious When Calls The Heart vibes and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

A sweet romance - but really, the story of a city girl in rural montana

Tash leaves you no choice but to examine how your role in others' life brings a wealth of encouragement or hindrances. As she unveils the heart and mind of Chastity peering up the avenues and trails of love. As the reader breathes each of Tash’s characters to life with a silvery yet sultry alto stretching accents from Ireland to Montana. You will find yourself laughing at Mr. Harville’s antics; while checking the real meaning of Jessica's intent in crafting a moment of kindness; or better yet, the thriving ambition in Wedlock, MT. to lift Hope above jewels. At times you'll feel as if you are eavesdropping on the private life and conversation of truth. A wonderful pallet of voicing to accompany a well-written unfolding of life.

Tho was an amazing historical western romance. Chastity is going to school to be a teacher but her companions are leading her astray. Can a chance meeting with Carl Ward change things for her? Will she make the right decision?

Eileen Smith is a new narrator for me. She didn’t disappoint. Loved it!

Sweet Romance
