The Spark of Love by Amanda Cabot ~ a book review

This book is another winner for this author!  This is the third book in the Mesquite Springs series.  Once you start to read this you won’t want to stop.  It is a stand alone story that will leave you wanting to read the first two books, if you haven’t already.

The characters are very believable and realistic.  Each have their faults and strengths.  The author brings in the various ‘levels’ of Christian faith of each of the individual characters.    Some are strong, some are growing and some are seeking. 

When Alexandra rejects a proposal of marriage, her suitor’s behavior is threatening and she flees and goes into hiding.  Along the way she meets Gabe.  Unknown to her, he has been duped into hunting her down.  Their relationship is threatened by the secrets they feel they must keep from each other.

The mystery and suspense woven throughout the story will keep you on the edge of your seat.

This is from the publisher’s website:

“She's determined to start a new life in the West . . . if only the old one would leave her alone

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, an investigator, is searching for proof that her father is a swindler.

With so much to lose--and hide from one another--Alexandra and Gabe will have to come together if they are ever to discover whether the sparks they've felt from the beginning can kindle the fire of true love.”

I really enjoyed reading this and becoming reacquainted with many of the characters form the earlier books in the series.
