The Bridal Shop
Alice Turner, the owner of one of Charleston’s finest bridal shops, is determined never to be dependent on a man for anything after the disgrace of her father’s prison time. When her best friend requests Alice to be her maid of honor, she reluctantly sets aside her feelings on marriage and dons a stylish bridesmaid’s gown, never intending to catch the eye of the handsome groomsman. Will he be able to convince Alice to open her heart again?
Miss Beaumont’s Companion
When Italian lady’s companion Aria St. Angelo is coerced into posing as her political employer’s absent daughter for the evening at the Louisiana Governor’s masquerade ball, she wasn’t planning on falling for Byron Roderick—the most eligible bachelor in the capitol. But, when he pays call at the Beaumont’s home, Aria is quickly shuffled into the shadows once more, forced to watch him fall in love with another woman.
The Becoming of Miss Blanche
Content to remain a Harvey Girl forever, fiery Tacy Blanche has worked in nearly every Harvey House down the Santa Fe line. But, when she accepts the position of second waitress at the new Montezuma resort, Tacy isn’t expecting her former fiancé’s brother to return to her life—
Pinkerton Jasper Caffery had long abandoned hope of ever finding Tacy again, but while on holiday in New Mexico, Jasper collides with the woman who had never noticed him before. He decides to take his chances and attempt to woo her. However, when Tacy’s past catches up with her, more than Jasper’s heart is at stake.

MY THOUGHTS.....
Do you enjoy being swept away to another time and place? This new book by Grace Hitchcock is just what you're looking for! It's a collection of three novellas that take place in Charleston, Baton Rouge, and Las Vegas in the late 1880s and each novella features sweet heroines and dashing heroes who long to be together. Will they succeed in overcoming the jealous ex-suitors, snobbish relatives, differing social statuses, and numerous deceptions that threaten to keep them apart?
It's obvious that Hitchcock has devoted a lot of time to researching the settings and time periods and her combination of facts and fiction makes this a book to enjoy and savor! I loved the well-developed characters, the mystery and intrigue, and the sweet romance. I recommend Hearts of Gold to all who enjoy historical Christian romance.
I received a complimentary ARC but there was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
