I found it delightful. Dooley did an exceptional work in developing the scene in Boston as well as Golden. The reader could easily visualize both places as Dooley describes them. Character development was exceptional. I found myself grieving with Madeline, seeking solutions with the Sneed's, cheering for Phillip and pulling for Jeremiah. The role of the villain, Mr Johnston, whose role is to marry Madeline and steal her wealth, is a bit overdone. It simply did not flow as well as the other parts of the splendid story. I appreciated the opportunity to contrast Boston's wealthy and their destitute. Madeline's response was commendable. Taking the role as mother to a newborn orphan while in the midst of her dire situation reflected Madeline's Christ-like heart. The author was able to show a variety of Christians and the role faith played in each of their lives. I loved that she did not cookie cut the part faith played in their lives. Instead each character was able to stand on its own and show the Christian life lived out in different personalities and situations. There were only two parts I found a bit hard to believe. One was when Johnstone showed up in Golden, New Mexico and was placed in jail only to be forgiven and sent on to run the business. The other was the timing of Pearl's grandparents coming to Golden. It seemed as if that was thrown in at the last minute and just didn't fit. Other than that it was an excellent read! Once again, success in finding a dreamy romance from Summerside Press' Love Finds You series. LFY in Golden, New Mexico is my first novel from author Lena Nelson Dooley and excitedly not my last. The romance just melts off of the pages. Another prairie mail-order-bride story, but different from any other and worth every turn of the page. I was entertained and enlightened. It's a great story where the bad people are bad, but Christ shines through and just might win some in the end. Listening to the characters and their prayers and seeing each of them learn and grow is an internally reflective experience. From the riches of Boston to the heat of New Mexico riches are discovered in a plethora of different ways and shown to be more than just finances. I highly recommend this read as I do so far all the historical Love Finds You novels that I have read thus far. I look forward to adding both more LFY and Lena Nelson Dooley books to my TBR lists in the future. *Thanks to Summerside Press for providing a copy for review through CFBA.* sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
