A Journey for Dorothy (The Reluctant Wagon Train Bride Series) by P. Creeden – Review by Kerry Carr

A Journey for Dorothy by P. Creeden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 8th book in The Reluctant Wagon Train Bride. This is a sweet historical romance about 2 people who were thrown together by circumstances and managed to find the thing they were missing in their life.

Dorothy has had to learn to be a independent woman since the loss of her husband. She is content to never find love again. However she is lonley and with her home bringing her sad memories she decides to leave it with her dog and head to the wild west in the hopes of being closer so her sister. However her plans change slightly when she comes cross an injured man called Elias Stone.

Elias is a reverend who is settling off to the wild west to spread the word of God. Unfortunately his journey was cut short when bandits robbed him and left him assuming he was dead.

When Dorothy finds him she nurses him back to health and as they talk they realise they are heading to the same place. The more time that passes Dorothy starts to have feelings for Elias but she is confused by them as she feels it is being disloyal to her deceased husband.

When the problem arises that they won’t allow unmarried women to travel on the wagon trail comes to light will Elias step forward to help so they can both reach their destination?
What would happen if a marriage between 2 people for convenience turns into more? Will they both find the soul mate they are looking for or will ghosts from Dorothy’s past stop her from living and loving again.

This was a sweet historical romance with elements of danger and twists and turns to keep the reader hooked. My heart went out to Dorothy for not wanting to do anything against her husband’s memory and her struggle between that and living her life was hard to read, however her strength was amazing and I loved how she was allowing herself to live and find love again.
