Against the Wind (Secrets of Sweetwater Crossing #2) by Amanda Cabot


 Doctor-in-training Louisa Vaughn has no intention of remaining in Sweetwater Crossing. She's just there for a few days to help a friend. But she can't abandon the injured man she finds at the side of the road. Until his broken leg heals, she'll serve as the town's doctor and midwife. She may not be fully qualified yet, but surely she's better than nothing.

Josh Porter's plans to win his grandfather's challenge and fulfill his father's final wish to gain full control of the family business hit a roadblock when he breaks his leg. But his enforced stay in Sweetwater Crossing gives him new ideas about the expansion of the company into new territory--ideas Louisa could help turn into reality.

If only the town were more accepting of Louisa's talents! Someone is determined to convince her to abandon her dream of healing others. Can Josh help her uncover the person behind the threats before it's too late? And is there any future for them together when neither of them plans to stay?

About The Author


 With both parents avid readers, it's no surprise that Amanda Cabot learned to read at an early age. From there it was only a small step to deciding to become a writer. Of course, deciding and becoming are two different things, as she soon discovered. Fortunately for the world, her first attempts at fiction, which included a play for her fifth grade class entitled "All About Thermometers," were not published, but she did meet her goal of selling a novel by her thirtieth birthday. Since then she's sold more than forty novels. When she's not writing, Amanda enjoys sewing, cooking and - of course - reading.

 

My Review


 

This is the second book in this series, and just as good as the first, I recommend you read the first one, but this can be read alone!

This is sister Louisa's story, and she comes home! Will she stay? Well she doesn't arrive alone, and with her big heart willing to help those in need, Josh Porter ends up in her care.

Sometimes we don't see what is right in front of us, and sometimes righting past wrongs becomes more important!

We are offered some sweet romance, some very questionable happenings, and sadly some really bad occurences. Was I surprised at whom was responsible? Oh yes, I figured it was someone else.

This was a page turner, and hate waiting another year for the next book, but well worth the wait!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review.
