| A Review by Debra E. Marvin |
1908 Kansas
Every gal in Felicie’s circle of friends swooned over Wichita’s
handsome fireman, Carpenter Yeary. She’d seen him, of course, but she was too
practical to go longing after the noted hero. He’d never noticed her before (and
they’d gone to the same church for years). My goodness! With all the pretty girls he could
choose from—girls with money, fancy dresses and time to primp—that wasn’t
likely to change. On her last day as a
maid, Felicie had one thing on her mind: transition and prepare for her dream
job as calligrapher at the Hotel Carey. She’d trained her replacement, listened
to an endless stream of tributes about everyone’s favorite fire fighter, and rolled
her eyes over her co-workers’ ridiculous plans for Leap Year Day. Old
traditions said a woman could propose to a man that one day every four years,
but…
Proposing to a man just to get a new dress out of him was
such a tacky thing to do.
Felicie would get her new dresses and suits the right way. She’d ordered
from one of the top dressmakers in town, sinking all her savings into that order.
She’d be dressed well enough to be an asset to the hotel in her new professional position. Only she hadn’t planned on something even hotter and more distracting than Carp Yeary. A real fire.
Hurrying toward the smoke and sirens, Felicie was concerned about her
friends. Madame Laurent wasn’t just her dressmaker, she was the closest thing
Felicie had to a mother, and Madame Laurent’s adopted daughter Marina was like
a sister. Surely they were safe, and their dress shop couldn’t be the site of
the fire. Right?
There’d be no new
dresses despite the fireman who saved lives and looked dreamy doing it…but
alas, here’s where I pause and let you pick up Six Little Sunflowers for
yourself!
I’ve read many novellas by Gina Welborn and this one is as
charming as the rest. Gina has a way of taking the odd gem of a story—generally
about as unique as they come—and adding captivating characters and delightful
details. Six Little Sunflowers surprised me and entertained me. Gina does it
every time! I think you’ll enjoy it as much as I did, and it’s a pleasant read-through for a relaxing evening. I’ll
give it five big sunflowered stars!
Lovely review. Eager to read. :D
