Breathless

"Ambitious, cautious Portia Carmichael manages a hotel in the Arizona Territory. Kent Randolph, who may have finally grown up and wised up, is courting her, one step at a time – and his respect for Portia’s intellect adds a warmth that grows as readers spend time in their community. Women raise one another up in vivid, resonant scenes, feeding and caring for one another. Jenkins always delivers comfort reading with a hefty dose of historical clarity, and this book reminded me when I needed it most that through rough days and painful moments that there are always people who can help you rediscover happiness."
