After years of mourning the death of her young husband and longing for a family of her own, Carrie Daly has promised to wed bookstore owner Nate Chastain. But questions about his true feelings for her cause her to hesitate.
Charlestonian Griffin Rutledge, scion of a low country rice planter, former blockade runner, gambler, and horseman, arrives in Hickory Ridge to collect an old debt before heading off to try his luck in Australia. Estranged from his family for years, Griff is a loner and likes it that way. Offered the opportunity to train a magnificent Thoroughbred for the local banker, he settles down . . . temporarily. But a chance meeting with Carrie triggers a chain of events that causes him to question his choices. Maybe God brought him to Hickory Ridge-and to Carrie-for a reason.
My Review: I loved Beyond All Measure the first book in this series. Even though this is a series the books are stand alone. The books are centered around a town, Hickory Ridge, Tennessee.
Beauty for Ashes is somewhat like Little House On the Prairie for adults. God's provision and grace are two of the key elements in this read.
Carrie is a likable person and being a widow in a Hickory Ridge where single men are scarce makes it hard for Carrie. Since women were expected to marry and to.be.honest it would have been hard to be woman and work in this town. A challenge that brings out the heart in Carrie.
There are two special men, Nate and Grif, that seem interested in Carrie. Of course, this is a great romance read... but there are twists and turns making this a grand-tastic read!
Don't miss this next great read in the Hickory Ridge Series!
