Desperate to escape an arranged marriage to a womanizer, twenty-two-year-old Maggie Mullaney flees New York for Virginia City, Nevada with her Aunt Liberty, two spunky suffragists intent on bettering the lives of women. Fresh out of nursing school, Maggie hopes to devote herself to serving others rather than just one man, a goal quickly affirmed when she encounters Blaze Donovan, a womanizing cowboy who both riles and rouses her pulse. But when Aunt Liberty’s parents’ house burns down, she and Maggie are coerced into staying at the ranch of Liberty’s ex-husband, Finn McShane, who just happens to be the uncle of the cocky cowboy Maggie had hoped to avoid.

If there’s one thing twenty-nine-year-old Blaze Donovan can’t abide, it’s respectable women who spout piety and prayer, so when he butts heads with perky Maggie Mullaney at St. Mary Louise Hospital, he wants to stay as far away from her as he possibly can. Unfortunately, she now lives in the bedroom next to his in his uncle’s ranch house, a revolting development that sends Blaze to The Ponderosa Saloon more than usual. But when Maggie interferes in Blaze’s life by converting his favorite “disrespectable” girl, Blaze is determined to make her pay. Only problem is—the price HE has to pay may be a little too steep for his heart.

Review

This is the first time I've read a book by Julie Lessman. I really loved this Christian romance with a western setting in Virginia City, Nevada. There are two main couples whose stories we read about in this book.

 The first couple, Finn and Libby were introduced in a previous book. The author does a great job of filling in the blanks if you haven't read the first book. This book really stands on it's own. They were previously married and have been apart for 17 years. An interesting serious of events bring the two of them back together, whether they want it or not. 

The next couple, Blaze and Maggie were actually my favorite. Their dialogue back and forth will leave you laughing so hard. Their chemistry in the book is undeniable. They both are a lot alike in what they want and don't want and this gets in their way a lot. Their first meeting is one of the best and funniest scenes I've read in a book this year. Honestly, I wish I could share it with you but I don't want to spoil the fun for you.

This book does have many Christian themes running throughout it's pages and they go along with life changes and lessons that the characters learn. I thought it all was beautifully written. There is a level of hotness when it comes to several of the kisses between our couples in the book, but it never goes farther than that; so this book would be under the label of a clean read. This book is best described by the author herself whose tagline is: Passion with a Purpose, putting romantic passion in it's proper place with God's precepts.

Love's Silver Lining is the next book I'm suggesting you put on your To-Read list for this summer.
