Strange things are afoot in the small mining town of Rocky River, Colorado during the spring of 1890. Millicent Drovers' invitation to a picnic has fallen into the wrong hands. Marshall Bond, the local saloon owner, receives a mysterious letter and believes he has a secret admirer. Edmund Baxter, a filthy miner who recently struck it rich, has decided to become respectable, and a whole host of women have marriage on their minds. What's a town to do when it suddenly finds itself embroiled in a strange case of spring fever? Pick two people to root for and hope for the best, of course. Too bad nobody told Millicent and Marshall that they were the chosen ones Now this couple needs to rewrite Millicent's engagement calendar, find time to picnic with a dozen women, sidestep a whole betting pool--and even write another love letter or two. Yes, they're about to head for some rough times in Rocky River until summer comes, the mystery of the love letter is solved, and everything is right with the world again.
I have read all of Ms. Galloway's books and loved every one of them but I have to tell you that you are in for a treat with her latest, The Love Letter. It's six stars and two thumbs up. It will have you turning the pages with the witty dialogue. WOW!!! This book is a keeper! Great dialogue and characters. You can almost see their faces as Millicent and Marshall share conversation and when you throw George and Edmund into the picture, you will not want to put this book down. Action with the words at every turn of the page. Millicent and Marshall are a delightful couple. The ending superb! You will love the book as you cheer them on. When Edmund enters with his shenanigans, you can't help but cheer for Marshall to come to her rescue. Not only that, you find yourself caring for Edmund when you get to know the character! This was one story that I didn't want to end with its spring fever! An excellent, excellent book!!
