Summer of Promise (Westward Winds, #1)Summer of Promise by Amanda Cabot
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Abigail Harding leaves her home in Vermont to visit her sister in Wyoming. She doesn’t know what to expect, but reading between the lines of her sister’s letters, she’s sure something is amiss. What she doesn’t expect is to survive a stagecoach holdup or to meet a man who makes her forget about the one she left behind. Lieutenant Ethan Bowles is charged with finding the thief at Fort Laramie and stopping the army deserters who are holding up stagecoaches. Both jobs would be easier to do without the distraction of the lady from Vermont. Can the two work together to improve the situation at Fort Laramie for everyone, including themselves?

Engaging characters with a bit of a mystery that will keep the reader guessing the “whodunit” until the end. Set in beautiful Wyoming in 1885, author Amanda Cabot brings Fort Laramie to life. Well worth the read!
