Embers of Love

Embers of Love

by:  Tracie Peterson

She was certain she could strike a match

After being educated in the east, Deborah Vandermark returns to Perkinsville, Texas, where her family is part of the thriving logging industry. She brings along an unexpected companion—her best friend, who is fleeing a wedding and groom she has no interest in. A determined matchmaker, Deborah sets her sights on uniting her brother and friend in what she hopes will be a true love match.

Then Deborah meets Christopher Clayton, the town's new doctor—and quickly realizes she has a much greater interest in medicine and science than the bookkeeping she studied at college.  Soon Deborah is caught between her fascination for doctoring and her obligation to her family. And in the midst of her warring emotions is the doctor himself• Are her tumultuous feelings for the man, or for what he can teach her?

My Review:  I enjoy the writing style of Tracie Peterson.  She always has some interesting historical facts woven throughout the storyline, which adds to the appeal of her books.  I enjoyed the strong opinionated female characters in "Embers of Love".  Perhaps because I find myself relating to them in some way?!?  This book definitely makes a good read for a rainy day or when you need some time to relax.
