Book Summary:
When a spurned suitor threatens her, heiress Alexandra Tarkington flees New York for Mesquite Springs in the Texas Hill Country, where her father is building a hotel. But the happy reunion she envisions is not to be as her father insists she return to New York. Instead, Alexandra carves out a niche for herself in town, teaching schoolchildren to paint and enjoying the company of Gabe Seymour, a delightful man she met on the stagecoach.
But all is not as it seems. Two men, each with his own agenda, have followed her to Mesquite Springs. And Gabe is an investigator, searching for proof that her father is a swindler. When a series of apparent accidents threaten her life, Alexandra and Gabe will have to work together to discover the truth. And perhaps along the way they will discover that the sparks of attraction they've felt from the beginning are more than sparks--they're love.
Bestselling author Amanda Cabot invites you back to 1850s Texas for this exciting and heartwarming tale of treachery, love, and learning to trust.
My Review:
Have you ever read a book that just pulled you into it so deeply that you didn’t want to stop reading? The Spark of Love is one of those books. I am a new reader to Cabot and I was amazed at her world building. I felt like I was in Mesquite Springs with everyone, watching everything unfold. The characters felt like real people and I didn’t want the story to end. I loved Alexandra’s strength and goodness. She was such a strong woman and she had a giving heart. I was hoping she would stay safe and get her happily ever after. Gabe kept me on my toes trying to figure out if he would ever disclose to Alexandra his real purpose for being in Mesquite Springs. Everything just seemed to twist together in this story and it left me anxious for when it would unravel. The supporting characters were just as endearing as the main ones, and I felt like I was a part of Mesquite Springs. Although this is the third book in a series, you can read it as a standalone. I have not read the previous books and I didn’t feel lost or confused at any part of the book. I am now a fan of Cabot and look forward to reading more book by her! I received a copy of this book for free; all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Happy Reading!!!
