The Heart's Choice by Tracie Peterson & Kimberley Woodhouse: Book Review

 *Book received for consideration. All thoughts are my own.

They must uncover the truth before it's buried forever.

After witnessing a wrongful conviction as a young girl, Rebecca Whitman--the first female court reporter in Montana--is now determined to defend the innocent. During a murder trial, something doesn't sit well with her about the case, but no one except the handsome new Carnegie librarian will listen to her.

Librarian Mark Andrews's father sent him to college hoping he would take over the business side of the family ranch, but Mark would rather wrangle books than cows. When a patron seeks help with research in hopes of proving a man's innocence, Mark is immediately drawn to her and her cause.

In a race against time, will Rebecca and Mark find the evidence they need--and open their hearts to love--before it's too late?

Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse are both names that I associate well with good historical fiction. When I pick up something from either of these authors individually, I know I am in for a well-researched and entertaining story. Seeing both of their names on the cover of this first book in a new series, I knew it would surely be good. And they don't disappoint in the slightest. This was a beautifully written historical romance that was well-researched and a story that draws in the reader. If you are a fan of either of these authors--- or are just looking for a new Christian historical romance read, this is worth checking out.
