Review:
Flora’s Wish is about a twenty eight your old woman named Flora Brimm. After her first four fiancées pass away, Flora is anxious to find someone to marry. Flora wishes to marry for love, however due to her Grandfather’s will, which states she has to marry and have an heir before she’s thirty to keep her home in the family, she is finds herself engaged to a man she barely knows just so she can be married. Little does she realize that her intended, Will Tucker, is a con-man, and Pinkerton detective Lucas McMinn is hot on his trail. When Lucas meets Flora, he is unsure whether she’s in cahoots with Tucker, so he keeps her in his custody to help him better solve the case. They continually butt heads, as Lucas knows Tucker is guilty, but Flora want’s to believe in his innocence. Not surprisingly, as Flora and Lucas get closer to solving the mystery of Will Tucker, they find their feelings for each other are growing by the day.
This was such a fun story. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for poor Flora, after losing four fiancées. She did frustrate me at times, though, when she argued Will Tucker’s innocence to Lucas. She had only just met Will when she got engaged to him, yet her pride wouldn’t let her doubt his character. It made me feel sorry for Lucas, as he was fighting a losing battle with her for a while. But obviously, the Lord brought their paths together for a reason, and it was fun watching them discover that!
