Struggling to remain independent in the 1800s, four women reluctantly open up to help from lumberjacks—and love.

Not for Love by Naomi Much

Widowed, Maggie seeks a husband—in name only—from the logging camps, but the man who answers her letter is a surprise. Can she open her heart to love again?

Undercover Logger by Jennifer Lamont Leo
1890—Idaho
Carrie will not sell her timberland and allows the banker’s nephew to sign onto her logging crew to ferret out the reason she is losing money at an alarming rate. Will truth be revealed to her forlorn heart?

I was excited to read this collection because I’m familiar with three of the four authors. Plus, what’s not to love about lumberjacks? I managed to get an advanced copy and couldn’t wait to read it.

The novellas didn’t disappoint. Set in different states and often inspired by real events, each novella presents a different look at lumber camps. Each romance reflects the authors’ different styles, with some of the romance sparking immediately with others making you wait for the big payoff. Overall, these stories are exactly what you expect and love from clean and Christian historical romance.

If you’re familiar with any of these authors, this collection won’t disappoint. If you haven’t read any of their books yet but you enjoy the likes of Laura Franz and Melissa Jagears, I think you’ll enjoy this book.

Rated PG.
