Booksneeze Review: Heart of Gold


A tale set in an Idaho goldmine town in the 1860s, Heart of Gold is a wonderful story. Shannon Adair moves with her father (a Pastor) to Grand Coeur, while Matthew Dubois, a stagecoach driver, is looking for a wife to care for his nephew and dying sister. What God has in plan for these two is a bit more than they are expecting.

I really enjoyed this book. Robin Lee Hatcher demonstrates great skill in her character development; she kept some secrets from the reader and built up her characters' stories. Although treading on possibly sensitive territory, Hatcher separates the two sides of the civil war into equally loveable characters, and it encourages you to keep reading to find out what happens to them.

The setting of the story also was really interesting; I liked journeying into a historical world--Hatcher does a great job of making it exciting and easily imagined.

This book was a great read, and I`d recommend it to anyone interested in historical or romance fiction. There is more drama than you might think!
