The Dove Kindle Edition

Katy Lynn Logan had two friends: Andy, her father’s best friend through his whole life who’d been her surrogate father/uncle/mother/best friend since the day of her birth. And then there was Joshua Carter, the love of her heart and her soul mate. Or so she thought until that day when she buried her father; the same day Joshua broke her heart and tore her soul apart.

Seven years later Joshua returns to find his preacher father had been right. Katy Lynn Logan had turned out exactly like her immoral mother and drunk father. She ran a saloon on the banks of the Red River called The Soiled Dove. He can scarcely believe the beautiful piano player is his Katy, but then, seven years changes everyone. Katy can’t believe her eyes when she finds Joshua sitting on a bar stool in The Dove, but the real shock comes a few days later when she finds him preaching in her church in Spanish Fort, Texas.

Joshua’s attraction to Katy did not die when his father sent him away from Spanish Fort. Katy had not buried her attraction to Joshua when she built a saloon or buried herself in hard work. Neither of them tried to deny it, but they both determined they’d sure get over it. Or would they?

Product description

Review

You should pick up Carolyn Brown's The Dove where the West is still untamed and a woman has to do what's best for herself in order to survive. The dove is a fast read with some nice tender moments between Joshua and Katy, especially when they realize what they mean to each other...For a story with a wonderful heroine...and an overall wonderful romance about forgiveness and trust, pick up The Dove. --Romance Reviews Today

Brown's stand-alone historical romance set in small-town 1905 Texas addresses some of the ingrained business and social prejudices still rampant in American society more than 100 years later. --Booklist

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Characters, Unusual Settings and Interesting Plot --- A Triple Win!!!
Reviewed in the United States on 23 March 2018

Complex characters and unusual settings lend unique flavor to this tale of sincere young love threatened by prejudice and fear. It
successfully builds a compelling case for " things are not always what they seem" and "never judge a book by its cover." The lovely heroine needs every bit of spunk she's got to overcome the evil in her path. She is well-championed by her only "family" member
and two childhood friends who together from a band of precocious entrepreneurs. Our hero, having disgraced himself early in the story,
returns to a rude awakening, and having found himself the victim of injury and loss, must seek redemption and forgiveness. True to life,
some succeed and some don't. This story is a worthwhile read by an author who creates great characters and interesting plots. Enjoy !
We did.!

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the read!

I love that this book was set in the 1800's! I love that the main character, Katy was a a shrewd business woman in a time when women didn't even have rights! I love that they drove horse drawn carriages and used a livery. I just love that time period!!
This book is not the best one I've read by Carolyn Brown,but it was worth the read. It has fight, friendship and love. It will keep you interested till the end. It left me hoping for more.
