This is the first book I read by this author and I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the characters as well as the vivid portrayal of the settings. Beautifully written 0373486979 Spencer writes a compelling and interesting story that takes place in the 19th century. Annie Whitaker heads west with her father, leaving behind her domineering (and prettier) older sister. They head for Canon City, a gold town, to set up a mercantile. Caleb comes to town, broke and alone. What is his history? Spencer keeps it moving with conflicts with the landlord, between Caleb and Annie, and dad. The epilogue gives us a nice surprise too.
I read a few romances every year, and this is a good one. 0373486979

My review today is on the Western Romance, Loving the Horseman. This is the first book in The Canon City Chronicles Series. I really enjoyed this book and I'm sure you will too. This story is well written, humorous, and heart warming. Faith is interwoven through out the entire story like a tapestry. I love that.

Annie Whitaker has been brought up by her aunt to be the perfect lady but that's not what Annie wanted. She moves with her father to Canon City, a young mining town to start up a mercantile for the miners. There is no place for them to live so they now live in a stall in the livery. She goes to the saloon and talks to the owner of the store to ask to live in the backroom of the mercantile and pay extra for it's getting very cold. Annie is pushed into the owner and felt that this was a serious mistake but he does agree leaving Annie very uncomfortable. Annie is angry with her father when he feeds a young cowboy and refuses to charge him, especially when she is so drawn to him. The man is hiding something.

Pastor Caleb Hutton left his church and rode west to work on a ranch. The woman he thought he loved chose another man.(a rich deacon member) How could he stand in the pulpit and look at them each week? When he goes to the ranch, there is no opening and he returns to Canon City. Mr. Whitaker helps him get a job at the livery and befriends him. Caleb is drawn to Annie and soon forgets all about the other woman. How can he tell her how he feels when he has nothing? Besides he is still running from God and how can he explain it to her.

A journey of two lost souls drawn together by God's own hand. God has a plan for these two, a good plan and not for evil. God has a plan for you too, give Him your heart, surrender control, and watch Him turn your life around. I love reading about history. Davalynn Spencer brings it to life with Caleb and Annie. The challenges of the cowboys wasnt always so easy. Great romance story. Inspirational Western Romance, Historical Fiction, Romance Loved this book, and I loved the theme of what is the gold in our life? What we do we put our value in and what do we treasure?
I for one treasure things such as books to read that leave me uplifted, optimistic, happy, and always wanting to put my trust and faith in the Lord and in his plan for me.
Such a cute love story, can't wait for the next in this series. :) Having read several recent critically-acclaimed best sellers that both appalled me and bored me to tears because the characters were such bloodless, soulless, amoral walking mannequins, I was feeling the need for a book cure. I went searching for a good Christian romance with both an engrossing good story and very human characters who are capable of love and real relationships. This one sounded intriguing and was exactly what I needed. This novel proved to be a definitely better than average, gotta finish it in one sitting Christian romance, with human characters and an intriguing, heartwarming story of having the faith to allow God to lead us through hardships into where we ought to be. God made us capable of being so much more than the self-absorbed dead souls that we are becoming in this sin-sick day and age. Davalynn Spencer Sweetest Love Story

This book was recommended to me by my mother who goes to church with the author. From the very first page I was immediately hooked. I found Annie very easy to relate to, being a strong-willed person myself, and Caleb a strong rough cowboy with a heart of gold (the pure kind, not the crumbs mixed with ore ;) ) I would tell anyone who likes a good clean love story and a love for God to read this book. Can't wait till May!!! The Cowboy Takes a Wife
