Every man in her life has failed her - including her father, whose abandonment left her responsible for her three younger sisters and her mother. She's vowed off of love and marriage and devoted herself to running the family's general store and keeping her sisters safe and happy until they find good husbands to take over the job.

This book was a gift and my first by this author. For a story that is part of a series called "Love Finds You," this was not really much of a romance at all. Secondly, it made use of a couple of my pet peeves, misunderstandings that go on too long without discussion, and secrets.
Now for the positive: this was a decent historical fiction mystery and I could not figure out who the villain was until near the end of the story. The author made good use of red herrings and did not pull in a stranger a...more

This is the second Love Finds You book that I have read and I enjoyed another visit to a town that I had never heard of before! When Sheriff Corbin comes back to town, Catherine’s neat little life of caring for her three sisters is thrown into an uproar. He walked out of her life once, and she is afraid he will do it again if she gives him the chance. And add to this fear, Corbin is trying to ruin her sister’s engagement by blaming a murder on her fiancé. This synopsis of the book instantly grab...more
The year is 1884, and Catherine Morgan spends her days running the family's general store while doing her best not to dwell on the fact that she's a twice-jilted spinster. Ever since her father left to seek his fortune in the gold fields of Alaska ten years before and her mother's death three years later, Catharine has denied herself any hope of marrying after losing the one man she truly loved. Instead, she's determined to see her three younger sisters happily married.

I liked this one. It had a lot of the old western elements that I love, like the family general store, handsome cowboys and of course bank robbers. The overall story and writing I would probably give four stars, but the romance is closer to a two, maybe a three. I liked Corbin and Catherine, I would have liked a bit more wooing between them. There is a lot of drama for Catherine's family, but I loved how close the sisters were and really relied on each other. I thought it was a fun read.

My Mom gave me quite a few books in this series, this was the first I read. It wasn't bad. A small town in Ohio faces bank robberies in surrounding areas, and part of the bank robbing gang is suspected to be from this town. The sheriff that is brought in is also a lost love interest of one of the Morgan sisters. The story is set in the 1880s and was easy to read.
A little slow, not much interaction between the hero and heroine but a well-told mystery.
With a series title like "Love Finds You In..." you expect the plot to be focused on a romance with some conflict thrown in to keep you wondering and reading until the end. This story was more focused on finding the Masked Gang than the romance between Corbin and Catherine. Catherine's character was a bit impersonal and cold so I never really connected with her. I would have liked to see a few light moments between Corbin and Catherine to see her softer emotional side. If you are someone who lik...more
Entertaining story line, little redundant in parts with miscommunication being a big piece of the problem...
This was the best book. IT had me from start to the end.
It was a good book.
Good book.
This was a very good book, that I enjoyed reading. It was an easy read, with likable characters and setting. I wasn't jumping out of my seat as they say, but it was a good book. Not great, but definitely good.
