Miralee Ferrell quickly became one of my favorite authors, last year, when I read her novel Love Finds You in Bridal Veil Oregon. Her writing style and unique characters quickly worked there way into my heart. I then had the pleasure of reviewing her contemporary fiction novels Finding Jeena and The Other Daughter, as well as another Love Finds You book (Love Finds You in Last Chance California). I've been hooked ever since and was so pleased to have the opportunity to read and review Love Finds You in Tombstone Arizona.

LFY in Tombstone, Arizona is a sweet western that picks up exactly were Last Chance California left off. Christy, whom we met in Last Chance with Justin and Alex, is on her way home to her ailing mother and her younger brother, when her stage is held up. She is one of the unfortunate ones and is shot in the arm. Enter Nevada King. His sweet and adorable character put him in the wrong place at the wrong time, yet he was fortunate enough to help Christy out by doctoring up her arm so she can make it into Tombstone.

I could go on and on about their story, but if I do, I'll give away the plot line and spoil the story for Miralee's fans. So, I'll stop there. But, what I will tell you is this: not only was this story a sweet and funny, and altogether faith-filled, it's filled with so many other things, like the wonderful Doc Holliday, the OK Corral, Wyatt and Virgil Earp and so many other things that you hear about from History.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. The added suspense makes it a bonus, along with learning to fully rely on and trust God. Being in the middle of Tombstone, watching the instant attraction between Christy and Nevada, and seeing the characters grown in a friendship that includes the reader, was fantastic. Most definitely worthy of 5 stars and so much more! ( )

Fun reading about the history of Tombstone but I found the book a bit conflicting. Tough talk of the west mixed with what seemed like out of place religious blurbs. ( )

Love Finds You in Tombstone, Arizona is a beautiful romance, packed wih little kernels of historical fact and enlivened by authentic, era-specific detail. The author shows the life of a “saloon girl” from an angle not often explored, revealing them as women with hopes and dreams like any other, many being drawn into the sordid existence simply to stay alive. Nevada’s determination to take care of Christy, even when she doesn’t appear to want his attention, is touching—a wonderful reminder of the meaning of the word “gentleman.” Diverse characters and lifestyles make Tombstone an interesting, suspenseful page-turner. Good storytelling and smooth flow make it an easy read. This could very well be my favorite Ferrell novel to date! ( )
