After witnessing a wrongful conviction as a young girl, Rebecca Whitman--the first female court reporter in Montana--is now determined to defend the innocent. During a murder trial, something doesn't sit well with her about the case, but no one except the handsome new Carnegie librarian will listen to her.
Librarian Mark Andrews's father sent him to college hoping he would take over the business side of the family ranch, but Mark would rather wrangle books than cows. When a patron seeks help with research in hopes of proving a man's innocence, Mark is immediately drawn to her and her cause.
In a race against time, will Rebecca and Mark find the evidence they need--and open their hearts to love--before it's too late?
I am absolutely stunned by this book. At first, I was sad that it wasn't set in Alaska, but boy howdy, was I wrong. There are so many things that I love that I don't even know where to start. For one, I loved the law/court system aspect of the story. It's not an overdone theme and it was very enjoyable. Now add that slow burn romance between Rebecca and Mark and it's just all the hearts and love. Now, I would have to say that we can't give the bad guys such obviously bad guy names because I had him pegged the first time I saw that name. But... the crown jewel of this story, for me, was Marvella. That woman had me laughing from start to finish and her heart of gold was evident. I just want to know her and the Judge in real life because honestly, such wonderful human beings. If Marvella doesn't get her own POV in every book in the series I will be very sad.
I received a copy of this book through NetGalley, but these are sure as shootin' my own thoughts and comments. (Also my own snide remarks)
Preorder link, because I know none of you want to miss meeting Marvella!
