With a career rooted in business writing, she loves researching details of her novels to ensure their historical accuracy. Carolyn works full-time writing communications for physicians then spends evenings indulging her passion for writing historical romance. Her first novel, Willow Springs, was published in 2014; her second, Soda Springs, was published in 2015.

Crissa is a beautiful woman with a good heart. She loves her friends. She has a deep loyalty to the people she holds dear.
With all of the good things that Crissa has going for her, she has faced abuse from the people who are supposed to care for her. Her life story comes out piece by piece as the story progresses.
Two men want her attention and affection. The first is Garth, a miner. He is a drunk who tries to force her to have feelings for him. There are many layers to his story that add outrage and sympathy.
Drake is the son of fortune. His father owns most or the profitable ventures in Willow Springs, but Drake doesn't rely on his father. He is willing and able to provide for his own future. His attention and feelings are captured the moment he laid eyes on Crissa.
There is also a shadowy past. Secondary characters flit in and out, laying the groundwork to bring Crissa's past together.
Overall, I found this book to be interesting. The book has many plot twists. They keep interest, but at times seem a little overwhelming.

Willow Springs is a western romance. It is exciting, full of drama, action, romance, and rich characters. You won't want to put the book down. You are never sure what is going to happen next.
Crissa Engleson has had some hard knocks in her young life. It only gets more exciting the more you read.
She has landed in Willow Springs, UT all by herself. She is on the run from her past. She has two men who want her. Crissa gets a job in the inn. Crissa makes good friends all the way. She is a from Sweden.
Drake Adams is a pony express rider. His father is a big mine owner.
Garth Wight is a miner. He is also a mean drunk.
Molly Henderson is a widow and mother of Will and Amy. She owns and runs the inn. I like Will and Amy.
Willow Springs does briefly mention Mormon church. Does not preach. It does deal with abuse of husbands and fathers, rape. Does not get into anything graphic. It is a clean read.
It is also full of nuggets of history, about, mining, crossing the west, and medicines. It adds to the richness of the story.
I wanted Crissa and Drake to end together but every time I thought would end up well for them something else would happen. Their are so many twists and turns in the story.
I was given this ebook to read for the purpose of giving a honest review and being part of Willow Springs blog tour.… (lisätietoja)
