Where The Road Bends by Rachel Fordham

This book caught my attention the minute I started to read it.  This historical fiction was so good.  The characters were well developed and I loved reading about them.  Norah King is set to marry a man she barely knows that can help her keep her family land.  Through unexpected events, she finds Quincy Barnes, near to death and nurses him back to health.  

The story continues and just keeps getting better. The connection between Norah and Quincy has to end due to Norah's upcoming marriage.  They cross paths later and the friendship they had nurtured is built on friendship and good communication.  Yet there is much to overcome and work through.  And there are parts that will surprise you.  I enjoyed the interaction with the townspeople and the little historical town in which the story takes place.  

I loved the way it was written, the detail, the characters and the events that tied it all together.

You will not want to miss this excellent book.  I will be watching for more books by this author, that's a sure fact!

A Lady in Attendance by Rachel Fordham

This was the first book I have read from this author.  She is great and tells a captivating story of a woman who has made mistakes in life that caused her to go to a reformatory and lose the family she loves.  It is a very unique story and I haven't read one quite like it.

Hazel wants to clean up her past and become a repentant person that her family will again want to be with and so takes a job as a dental "lady in attendance" or dental assistant while trying to find a way to show that the charges that had been made against her were false.

It is a very interesting book and I enjoyed it very much. There is mystery, romance and a little action, as well.  I love how she is working so hard to prove herself even when having to share her past with others, which is something she is fearful of doing and taking the chance of losing a good friend.  She is a strong and admirable character and the book is fascinating and I highly recommend it!
