Holiday Hope (Holiday Express Book 1) by Shanna Hatfield – Review by Kerry Carr

Holiday Hope by Shanna Hatfield
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Holiday Express series. I really enjoyed this story and it was a surprise. Looking at the cover you would expect an historical romance which it is but this is so much more. As well as romance we have danger and turmoil as emotions run wild. I loved Cory’s character, she is a strong determined woman who won’t have the wool pulled over her eyes. I also love Jace. He is a good hearted man who you know would make Cora really happy if only they could give into their feelings.

Cora leaves her home and take the holiday express to meet the man she is supposed to marry. Having no idea who he is and what he’s like Cora is filled with apprehension and scared she has made the right decision.
On arriving she is met by her future father in law and when it seems that her future husband to be isn’t around or interested Cora starts to doubt whether her future husband wanted this marriage or not.

Meanwhile Jace is the brother who drives the Holiday Express. When he meets his future sister in law he knows things aren’t as they seem and wonders if his dad is trying to play matchmaker again. Now they are all living together and Jace is finding it harder everyday to keep his feelings away from being romance towards Cora.

With a mystery, trains, train robberies and secrets that will come unravelled will Cora stay and marry Jude or will she finally give in to her true love?
