Margaret Hamilton escaped the Irish slums of Five Points as the ward of a
wealthy Manhattan widow, but only marriage can make her future secure.
Railroad mogul Doyle Kerrigan needs a well-connected wife. It seems a perfect
match...until a shocking revelation sends her fleeing from the wedding
reception.

Desperate to make a fresh start, Margaret takes on a new identity and heads
West, finally stopping in Heartbreak Creek, Colorado, a dying mining town of
little interest to anyone. Here, she finds new purpose, beloved friends to
replace the family she’s lost, and a home at last.

But two men from Margaret’s past are on her trail. One is seeking
vengeance, the other truth. When they both arrive in Heartbreak Creek, she
must choose between the town she has come to love, and the man who might
finally capture her heart….

我的評比:4葉

要想看書快,就要經常換著看不同故事背景(不歲責任的經驗之談)。攝政背景看多了難免有點膩。這個故事發生在1870年的美國,算是比較少見的題材。女主角Margaret在婚禮前幾分鐘發現未婚夫是害得自己家破人亡的元兇,於是從紐約逃婚,一路向西。未婚夫派了最信任的生意合作夥伴Tait來追趕她,故事就發生在Tait和Margaret中間。
一般我們都愛看男女主角在一起的情節,這本書中間卻有大概三分之一的故事是發生在兩人分開後。還好,因為作者處理得當,並不會讓人覺得難以忍受。當然,既然是羅曼史,肯定最終男主角要找到女主角,才能成就一段happily ever after的結局。
小小的抱怨是,福利情節幾乎沒有!!!!不過沒有也好,因為我後來又看了本系列的第一本《Pieces of Sky》,呃,只能說,這作者寫的福利場景,還真不如不寫呢……
