A Family for Carter Jones
Carter Jones had plans...big plans. And free-spirited Jennie Sheridan didn't figure into them. Courting a woman with a houseful of misfits was an invitation to disaster. But when Jennie got that soft look in her big brown eyes, courting disaster seemed very inviting. Jennie knew she could support herself, and her family, without the help of Carter Jones. Being the district attorney didn't mean he had all the answers...so why did the circle of his arms around her have to feel like such heaven?

Primeiro volume da série Sheridan Sisters.
Uma história no faroeste que foge do tradicional mocinha/fora do lei ou cauboi.
Recomendo.

This was my first read by Ana Seymour. It didn't wow me, but I definitely want to try her other books.
In short, Jennie was quite unlikeable. Her only redeeming quality was her love and devotion to Kate and Barnaby. Carter wasn't bad, but he was boring.
In all honesty, I was rooting more for Kate. Looking forward to reading her story.

First of a two books (next is Father for Keeps).
Jennie and her sister Kate have had quite a year. Their parents died without leaving much money behind, they had to find a way to keep their house, Kate thought she was in love and the scoundrel ran off and Kate is not pregnant, the biddies of the town are accusing the girls of running a whorehouse basically because they are renting to three miners and then enters Carter Jones the new district attorney in Vermillion and the biddies are pushing him to order the girls to close their boarding house.
Carter was illegitimate and looks at life from someone who came from nothing and is going to make his way up the ladder. Jennie had loving parents who did not care about others opinions.
Just when Jennie and Carter seem to be on the road to happiness he agrees with Lyle Wentworth that Kate should give her baby to a two parent family, as he thinks of his childhood and the rough parts of it.
There are such interesting people in this book and such extremes it stays interesting.

Me gustó la historia, fue corta y sencilla pero pase un buen rato con los protagonistas y odiando al pueblo por mentes cerradas.
