Scarlett Dunn welcomes readers back to Whispering Pines, Colorado, where three sisters are beginning new lives rich in faith and love . . . Adelaide Langtry may not be as beautiful as her sisters, but she has determination to spare. She’ll need it if she’s to succeed as a schoolteacher in her old hometown and care for the three abandoned siblings she brought from Boston. In Whispering Pines, Addie hopes to establish an orphanage, but she must also contend with her past, including her outlaw brother, Frank. Orphaned as a boy, Sheriff Jack Roper understands the turmoil faced by Addie’s young charges. Though he tells himself he has all the responsibility he needs, the handsome lawman is quickly charmed by the children, and by the spirited, generous woman intent on helping them.

Keeping their ready-made family together is the greatest challenge they’ve known—but it could also be the greatest blessing . . .
My Review
In this the second book in the Langtry Sisters series we now see schoolteacher Adelaide Langtry returning to Whispering Pines,Colorado. I'll admit with the author's descriptions it does sound like a beautiful place, especially as it would have been back then without the pollution of today. She is determined to open an orphanage there with 3 sibling orphans she brought with her from Boston,2 sisters and their older brother. She does have her devious outlaw brother Frank to deal with as well. Sheriff Jack Roper sets his hat for Miss Adeline and since he was orphaned as a young boy himself he knows how to deal with and has a heart full of compassion for the orphans. A bit of a jealous love triangle goes on here but it gets straightened out eventually. When the children's safety and well being become endangered the sheriff and Adelaide realize just how much they have to lose including each other if they don't pull together. Lot of Western action in this one. I look forward to reading the third book in the series about the last sister soon. Pub Date 24 Apr 2018 I was given a complimentary copy of this book from Kensington Books through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
