Rachel's Refuge (Westward Home and Hearts Mail-Order Brides Book 23) (Westward Home and Hearts Series 1) Kindle Edition

by Elaine Manders (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (258)
She was running for her life. He offered a refuge, but what about the children?
Boston heiress, Rachel Davis, returns from a European tour to a world turned upside down. Her father has remarried and died suddenly on his honeymoon out west. After warning that Rachel’s life is in danger, Gracie, her maid dies under mysterious circumstances. Rachel’s only hope is to become a mail-order bride, and the best match-maker in the country is Milly Crenshaw, who lives right here in Boston. Mrs. Crenshaw is not home, but her maid opens the files to Rachel, and there in the hard-to-match files, she finds the perfect husband, Levi Grant, the sheriff of a small town near Laramie, Wyoming, where her father had died. She can overlook the fact that Levi only wants a wife to care for his five siblings—all under the age of fourteen—if he’ll help her find her father’s murderer.
From their first meeting, Levi knows Rachel is hiding secrets, but his siblings adore her, and she seems to be the perfect mother-figure. That’s all he asked for, wasn’t it? Then as their relationship deepens and Rachel reveals all, Levi finds he must catch a killer who’s already struck three times, and his new bride is the next target.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I'm a retired Air Force (civilian) accountant living in Warner Robins, Georgia. My interests are varied. I enjoy reading and writing Christian historical romances and inspirational commentary, golf, sewing, crocheting, knitting, politics, history, science and mathematics. I attend church regularly, and God is the center of my life. I'm proud of the good job my daughter is doing rearing my three wonderful grandchildren. God and my family make up the inner circle of my life, but I want to reach out with understanding and love to others.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Action In This Book!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2021

    What an outstanding, action-packed western romance! It is bad when people think they are entitled to anything belonging to someone else and are willing to resort to murder of the true owner to acquire the treasured item. That is exactly what was attempted several times in this book. Read this bok and find out if the "bad guys" come out on top.

    I enjoyed this book and hope you enjoy it also.

    Elaine Manders has, as usual written a wonderful book. This is a heartwarming story about Rachel and Levi. After her fathers death she overheard a plot to have her killed. Thinking there was also something suspicious about her fathers death, she decides to become a mail-order bride to the sheriff in the same town where her father died. She becomes a mother figure to Levi's 5 siblings and while they fall in love with her, it takes Levi a while to come around. As danger follows her, will Seth be able to save her in time? I loved all the characters in this book and it had a great plot. I highly recommend this book.

    Rachel’s Refugee was a page turner for me as most of Elaine’s books are. Rachel is the kind of friend I love to have. There were tense moments and joyful times for Rachael. I would recommend Rachael’s Refuge to anyone who enjoys good Christian reading that has a feel good time to it. Can’t wait for Elaine’s next book.

    This is an interesting story with the mixture of 3 murders combined with cattle rustling and outlaws living so close & those who could never be satisfied (a great example of how greed can destroy one’s life). It also moves along very well.
