Historical or Contemporary?
I'm not sure.. but I think contemporary.. although because its an old book, I feel historical.. does that make any sense??

I only meant was it like long dresses and horsedrawn carriages. So its an older book but I would still say its contemporary.
Yeah. Because they don't have problems with females walking alone. Although my memory of it is really vague now. So I'm really not sure. Because it's been 10 years since I've read that book. Hopefully, what I remember is really the story. But I do remember the ending very clearly. Because I love the ending. It's so romantic. Do you want to know??

As a result, there is a way to enter them and have them "sort of" hidden.
Type < $ poiler> the body of your spoiler < / $ poiler>
Take out the spaces and change the $ to an S. (view spoiler)
But yes, if you do remember the ending, then list it.
ok.. Thanks for that. I don't know how to do that. That's actually very cool. Anyway, here goes..... The ending goes something like this:(view spoiler)
And that is the sweetest part in that story in my opinion. Or rather of what I can still remember. Because the hero of the story is the typical hardened cowboy. Who is protective and respectful to those he deem worthy.
Anyway, I hope this help in finding that book... I want to read it again for 10 years now.. Thank you for all the help!!
Does anyone know this story?? please HELP!!

I've had a couple of books that were only found after 3 years--and others that I'm still hopefully bumping up there, hoping that sooner or later someone else that loved the book will see my messages and tell me the name of my forgotten lost love. (And yes, I DO view my favourite books as loves.)

ID'ed = identifiedGR = GoodReads
RL = real life
I know a lot of 'em, but NA had me baffled for a while. (Turns out to be New Adult.)
MG is the one which cropped up a lot recently - I think it might be "middle grade", but I don't know what that really means as we use a different system in the UK.Cherry - to "bump" it, every month or so find this thread, and make another comment (people often just type the word "bump" and post that). A new comment puts it near the top of the listing for a few hours.
The easiest way to find the thread again after a month or so would probably be to look at your own comments on your Home page - under your name on the right are a few different words, one of which is "comments"; if you click on that you see all your comments listed in reverse date order. Find one which you posted about this thread and click on it. I think that would work!
Just looked up middle grade fiction; it said ages 8-12.

Thank you all for the help! And by the way, anyone know of this story?? again thank you very much!!

If you aren't using Explorer, copy and paste the address into an email to yourself. That way you can still find it quickly.
ahh.. ok ok.. I thought I could click it here and save it here in GR.. hehehe Thanks anyway.. Do you have any idea about my story??
Mod
it's ok.. thanks anyway.. ^_^

Here are some reviews from Amazon:
"...It is 1862; Isabelle Milton is looking for her father when she runs out of money in Washington Territory. She finds a part-time job that plays out just before the harsh winds of winter arrive. The owners of the saloon where she works suggest to one of their customers that he hire Isabelle as a cook."
"...In 1862 Isabelle Milton finds herself broke working part-time in a saloon that does not need her help in Hell Gate, Washington Territory. Lucas Warring enters the saloon looking for his wastrel brother Matt, but learns his sibling has run off with miners. The saloonkeeper and his wife, the Havermans, persuade Lucas to take Isabelle to his ranch as a cook. As the northwest suffers from a frozen winter, they fall in love while learning how to stay warm."

sorry.. nope.. that's not it.. the main guy is a sheriff.. but thanks anyway.. I'll look at that list of yours.. Thanks again Kris..
I can't quite remember.. sorry.. all I know is that she is searching for her biological father while doing some job that takes her anywhere (if my memory is correct, which is doubtful). then in that town she met the sheriff who keeps an eye on her because he doesn't trust her. sorry if that is not helpful. but any help is appreciated. thank you very much!
Mod
Was the tone light and humorous, or more suspenseful and dramatic?
Anything to suggest the story was contemporary (e.g., DNA testing, cars, computers, technology)?
its not a humorous story. not sure if its suspense or mystery. I think no dna testing. cars I'm not sure. no computer definitely. train is what I really remember. i think thats their main means of transportation when going to other city. of course theres horse. that I'm sure. the sheriff used it that time.
Mod
she's not on the run or with a child. She has some sort of a job, I think a reporter or something, that takes her on places. The the sheriff and her never met before. And nope.. that's not the book either. Thanks again!
I'm not sure if this is the right one, unless I read the ending. The best part of the book is the ending. Is there any other like this story?? And thank you by the way.. ^_^
Mod
Thanks.. But if you find others like this story please tell me so.. And again, thank you very much!
The book suggested by Kris (Yours Truly: Romance from the Heart of America) is most likely correct. The sheriff does halt the train and arrest the h at the end for "Stealing his heart".

The story goes like this; the heroine have a list of her probable biological father, although she doesn't know which is which because her mother didn't tell her. So she went to a western city where her supposed father is living, but because she doesn't know if its really him she didn't tell anyone, specially him, about her suspicion. She have other reason to be there in that city and that is because her job required for her to be there. I think her job is a journalist, although i can't remember. The man she suspect is her father turned out to be a very happy family man who is known by the people in that city. And the hero of this story, the sheriff, suspect her of something or plotting something against the man. So he keeps a eye on her. Well suffice to say they fell in love with each other.
I've bought this book about 10-11 years ago in a second hand book store. So I don't know when this is published. I can't quite remember as well if this is a historical romance. I do hope you could help me.
