Reviews for Her Holiday Family

[rhonda1111 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

5 stars I was surprised about how much I liked Eileen Pierce. If you have read any books in the Texas Groom series you will want to read this one. Eileen Pierce for the last two years as been keeping by herself since her husband died and his crimes came to light. I understand and enjoyed learning more about her. Simon Tucker was escorting 10 children and their guardian Miss Georgina Fredrick. They were moving from the city to a western city to a bigger house. When Georgina had a stroke and they were taken off the train in Turnabout, Texas. The kids are not related but they have become a family and Simon plans to keep them together. Simon is hoping that Gigi will get better and they will be able to travel to their new house. He asks the people of Turnabout for help. The people say they can feed them and Eileen gets asked to house them since she has the room in her house. Simon also volunteer to help Eileen with any repairs while they stay their. Eileen is full of rules. She has no experience with children. It is good to see her open up to the children and Simon. Miss Dovie Jacobs is a boarder who lives with Eileen. She is wonderful with the children. She can not leave too far from her room but knows children. The setting for the book is Turnabout, Texas November 1896 I love the children. That would be hard to take care of 10 children all of once. Simon has only known the children for the most of about a week. Except his niece and nephew who lost their mother three months ago. Lots of drama, relationships and caring people of Turnabout. Also clean read. I was given Her Holiday Family to read by Net Galley and Harlequin. In return I agreed to give honest review of Her Holiday Family.
