MY THOUGHTS.....

Fleeing from an arranged marriage, escaping by a wagon train to the Oregon Trail, and a bout with amnesia.... how much more can a young woman endure? Apparently. much more if you are Cora Mae Reynolds! Author Cara Grandle shares Cora's, aka Sunny's, adventure in an exciting tale that's steeped in history, sweetened by romance, and flavored with a classic villain! Archie was determined to avenge his sister's death and marrying Cora was the way to accomplish it. I was repulsed by his actions but able to see why he yearned for revenge!

This is my first time reading a book by this author and I was impressed with her character development. Cora May felt betrayed by her father and longed to be reunited with "the only people in the world who cared about her fate: Rose, Heather, and Rebecca". There were so many obstacles and so much to overcome! Would she ever remember why she was running away? Could she survive the journey and find the peace that she longed for?

The Ruby
is the fourth book in the Sisters of the Porcelain Doll series, but it's written as a standalone. If you enjoy historical romance that keeps you turning the pages, grab a copy of this book!

I received a complimentary copy but there was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
