A Wagon Train Weekend: A Time Travel Historical Romance (The Back Inn Time Series)

Such a cute time-travel novella by Stephenia H McGee! I've read and enjoyed the author's historical and contemporary novels but this is the first of her time-travel ones that I've read. The author's fluid writing style, well-paced plot, and lovable characters are all here in the story, plus the fun and exciting twist of time travel thrown into the plot. Collette is a bit of a spoiled rich brat, taught from early on to always have the upper hand in every situation. Seth is a fun and easy-going guy who doesn't talk about his feelings or problems and is weighed down by the sense of failure at every turn. In the present time, they claim to love each other but don't really know each other well until they're thrown in the midst of a wagon train heading out to Oregon in 1857. In 1857, they learn to lean into each other's strengths and bolster up each other's weaknesses as they navigate a foreign world lacking all the modern commodities. I really enjoyed traveling back in time with the couple; their growth and maturity through their common turmoil was lovely to see. If you enjoy time-travel stories, you will enjoy this one. I received the book from the author and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are solely my own.
