Reader Question – The book where she nursed some men from a disease & wanted to be married in compensation.

By 4 Comments

Jay needs our book help & it’s short and sweet! Kind of sounds like a western historical.

I found a book on your blog that I want to read again.

ML married FL because she nursed some men from a disease and she wanted to be married in compensation.

Lot was drawed and ML was picked.

ML was a rancher. FL helps him with the cows.

Anyone have a guess?

Shelly: I think it’s Silver Lining by Maggie Osborne

A A: Agree! Silver Lining.

Jahnvi needs our book help! This one sounds like it might be interracial/historical romance!!

She asks:

Hi,

I’m trying to find a period romance book.

In the beginning of the book the FMC is beaten badly by her father and his friends so the MMC tries to help her and gets very badly injured. The FMC stays by his side and helps him. They start living together and falling in love.

The FMC gets kidnapped. The people stay away from MMC because of racism. MMC has sister and 2 or 3 brothers.

Anyone have a guess?

Amber needed my book help, and it took me all of a few seconds to know exactly which one she was talking about! Because this book was absolutely unforgettable!

I think the cover was in shades of blue. read more
