Love on the Horizon

By Penny Zeller

A fresh start. An unexpected chance at love.

Magnolia "Mags" Davenport has not had an easy life. Determined to leave behind painful memories, she decides, on a whim, to move halfway across the country to Horizon, Idaho, a town she's never before heard of. What should be a simple escape to a new life turns into an adventure she never imagined. From dangerous train rides to a stagecoach robbery, Mags wonders if she'll ever reach her destination. When she finally sets foot in the small town filled with friendly people and a slightly aggravating, but kind and handsome man who needs spectacles, will she find the new beginning her heart craves?

Four things matter most in Timothy Shepherdson's life-faith, family, farming, and food. Content as a farmer and uncle to his passel of nieces and nephews, Timothy isn't interested in courtship or romance, especially since none of the women with their caps set for him can cook. What should be a simple trip into town changes everything after a case of mistaken identity. Timothy finds himself not only under the ire of newcomer Magnolia Davenport, but immensely intrigued when he learns she's opening a bakery. Can he convince the wary baker to both forgive and give him a second chance?

Take a trip to Horizon, Idaho, in this tender romance that reminds us that God is the author of new beginnings.

**Please note: Love on the Horizon is a faith-filled Christian historical romance.**

Dare to Dream

This is the fourth book in the Horizon series but it could be read as a stand-alone. I’ve really enjoyed each book in this series and was so happy to read Timothy’s story and how the right someone can change your mind about confirmed bachelorhood. Magnolia is a wonderful character who has flaws due to mistreatment and loss of faith. After meeting the Shepherdson family and the patience and love they surround her with she learns to trust and finds herself on a faith journey. This story contains danger, family, faith, sweet romance, second chances, and new beginnings. I love young Ozias and how he tries to care for his family through the difficult situation his family is in. God has his path cross with Timothy and you can see how God orchestrated paths for several characters in this story. Great characters and a storyline that ebbs and flows consistently. A very enchanting story that makes you feel all the warm and fuzziness when you are finished. I received a complimentary copy from CelebrateLit/Wild Heart Publishing. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
