Publisher's Summary:
With a head more suited to bookkeeping than a bridal veil, Idas dreams include big business- not beaus.
Ida Sinclair has joined her sisters, Kat and Nell, in the untamed mining town of Cripple Creek, Colorado for one reason: to work for the infamous but undeniably successful businesswoman, Mollie OBryan. Idas sisters may be interested in making a match for their determined older sister, but Ida only wants to build her career.
Under Mollie's tutelage, Ida learns how to play the stock market and revels in her promising accomplishments. Fighting for respect in a man's world, her ambition leaves little room for distractions. She ignores her family's reservations about Mollie O'Bryan's business practices, but no matter how she tries, she can't ignore the two men pursuing her affections - Colin Wagner, the dashing lawyer, and Tucker Raines, the traveling preacher.
Ida wants a career more than anything else, so she shrugs off the suitors and pointed suggestions that young ladies dont belong in business. Will it take unexpected love - or unexpected danger - for Ida to realize where her priorities truly lie?
Critic Reviews:
A beautiful tale. Intriguing. Inviting. Inspiring. (Cindy Woodsmall, author of The Hope of Refuge and When the Soul Mends)
This is a story that lets us stand on the cusp of a great societal shift - the entrance of women into the business world. Cripple Creeks cast of colorful characters plays host to a new romance, as well as pulling back the curtain on a local family tragedy. This sequel revisits the characters weve already come to love and creates a complementary depth to an entertaining new tale. (Allison Pittman, author of Stealing Home and The Bridegrooms)
Ida believes her future is secure in a mans world. After all, she has drive and determination. But what happens when she meets a man who makes a withdrawal from her heart? Author Mona Hodgson makes discovering the answer to this question a rich, rewarding adventure. (DiAnn Mills, author of A Woman Called Sage and the Texas Legacy Series)
Members Reviews:
Enjoyable, clean romance!
Enjoyed this clean romance! The story entertained me so much I read the other books in this series. Sometimes I just want to relax, read, and let a nice clean story take me away for a little while. This book did not disappoint! However, a few parts regarding the father's behavior seemed inconsistent with the girls life before and leading up to where the story begins, thus my giving four stars instead of five.
BOTTOM LINE: Clean, enjoyable romance with few surprises!
A second helping of Cripple Creek
The second title in the Cripple Creek series introduces us to the oldest Sinclair sister - Ida.
Her dream, to go into business and work in the stock market, is at logaheads with the rest of the community and she very quickly becomes an object of scorn. Determined to stick to her guns, she determines to have no time for romamce or her sisters insistent matchmaking.
Enter the gentle character of Tucker Raines and all that slowly begins to change.
I enjoyed this second installment in the Sinclair sisters saga. Especially appreciate a proper series approach that sees the previous focus characters appear in more than token mention.
