Doctor in Petticoats By: Mary Connealy
#1 in the Sophie's Daughters Series
Back Cover:
Doctor Alex Buchanan is a wanted man--a deseter from the army stalked by a bounty hunter--but he'd rather be dead than inflict any more pain on his patients. Beth McClellan is idealistic, believing the nursing training she received will be enough to help her serve as doctor to her home town in West Texas. When Alex and Beth meet in a stagecoach accident, they find that they work well together. But are his demons and her dreams too deeply rooted for either of them to pay the price required for a future together?

(as always, click on the photo, to see an excerpt of the book!)
Back Cover:
"You can't let one woman ruin your whole life, son" the old foreman said. "You
got to pray harder and ask that the good Lord will send the right woman. You got
to produce an heir."
Walker thought he had plenty of time to worry about marriage and kids. After Trudy's betrayal, it would be a cold day in July before he gave his heart to another woman.
Abandoned by his fiancee just hours before their wedding. Walker McKay is determined to never let a woman near his heart again. Then a near-fatal accident makes producing an heir to the ranch a high priority. Beginning all over and courting someone new is out of the question, so he'll have to find a wife another way.
Wealth railroad heiress Sarah Livingston wants to be married, but her suitors are either fortune hunters or deemed unsuitable by her unreasonable father. When the opportunity comes to take the place of a mail-order bride, she believes she's found the answer to her husband problem and grabs it with both hands.
Will Sarah's deception and Walker's wounded heart keep them from finding what they are both looking for? Or will they discover that they are, after all, truly meant for each other?
~I can't wait to read this book!!! Just reading the back cover has me pulled in already...I'm always hooked when I see the words 'mail-order bride' in the description of the book! I'll have to get a hold of the other 2 books in the series!!! Happy Reading y'all!

AVAILABLE: March 2010
About the Book:
Phoebe Robbins quickly realizes that her life in Sitka, Alaska, will be a far cry from what she knew in the East. The weather seems to be constantly rainy, goods are often scarce, and there's little entertainment, save the small orchestra she joins. There are also plenty of men actively seeking a wife, but it is Dalton Lindquist--with his swarthy good looks--who is the most intriguing part of this isolated existence. Despite their unusual first encounter, Phoebe dares to hope that the spark she feels between them is returned in equal measure. When Yuri Belikov, Dalton's best friend, begins to pursue her, Phoebe finds herself in a precarious position. Did she misread Dalton's interest? How will her decision between the two men affect their friendship? And what of the long-buried secret in her own family's past? In the challenges ahead, Phoebe will learn of consequence and forgiveness...and the power of love.
******************************************************************
As dark family secrets threaten the tranquility of the life he's come to love, Dalton Lindquist must make difficult choices about the future. To complicate matters, Phoebe Robbins falls into his life quite literally when Dalton rescues her after she tumbles overboard in the Sitka Harbor. He quickly loses his heart. But Dalton is not the only one who decides to seek Phoebe's attention--his best friend, Yuri, decides to court her when Dalton must travel from Sitka. But when Dalton realizes the depth of his love for Phoebe and returns, the two friends find that their battle for Phoebe's admiration is only the start of the problems that face them.
I've decided, to add something new to my blog. It's an About Book: posting! Instead of all you ever get being reviews (and I know I'm not always faithful with getting them done regularly) I'm going to be doing 'about' reviews of new releases and things...So you know what's out there, and Maybe you can decide 'Hey that sounds like a great book', or you might ask me to review (actual) that book for you in more detail (or more of that author).
I'm trying to make my blog more interesting for you followers and readers. If there is any suggestions you have, please let me know! And now onto our First About Book:Post!
