CLARA by Alyssa Schwarz, Reviewed by Paula



PAULA'S REVIEW:
Mail order bride Clara Miller is running from danger. Good thing the groom who sent for her is Sheriff Amos Goodwin. Clara has aspirations to start a bakery in her new town since her family bakery in Chicago went up in flames. She escaped the thugs who wanted to put an end to her for witnessing a murder. Amos is ready for the job of protecting Clara and solving a mystery. 
 
The characters were engaging, the story interesting and the romance progresses slowly as the hero and heroine get to know each other . Amos relies on God to lead him in his job as sheriff and to assess the character of Clara . If you enjoy clean, faith filled, mail order bride stories with a strong hero, try this book.

BackCover Blurb:
A baker on the run.
A guarded sheriff.
And a mail-order-bride escape.

Clara Miller never meant to witness a murder, but when Chicago detectives dismiss her testimony, her life is on the line. Fleeing west as a mail-order-bride is her only shot at safety, until she discovers her intended groom is a small-town sheriff who sees her as more burden than blessing.

Sheriff Amos Goodwin refuses to run from a fight, even if it means entering a marriage of convenience to strengthen his reputation in town. But from the moment Clara stumbles into one of his arrests, disaster seems to follow her. Worse, a WANTED poster arrives naming her as a person of interest in a murder investigation. Amos must decide whether to uphold the law or risk everything to protect the woman who has captured his heart.

It's Christmas. But a snowstorm is on its way, and trouble is closing in. Will he protect Clara at the cost of his badge? Can love survive when duty demands everything?

This sweet Christmas historical romance is perfect for fans of the following tropes:
*Mail-order-brides
*Marriage of convenience
*Sheriff hero
*Christmas
*High-stakes danger
*Frontier time period
*Washington Territory
