Review: Trouble in Store by Carol Cox


About the book:
Fired from her most recent governess position, Melanie Ross must embrace her last resort: the Arizona mercantile she inherited from her cousin. But Caleb Nelson is positive he inherited the mercantile, and he's not about to let an obstinate woman with newfangled ideas ruin all he's worked for. In hope of turning her interest elsewhere, he determines to get Melanie married off, and luckily, there are many single men in town quite willing to take her off his hands.

The problem is, Caleb soon realizes he doesn't want her to marry any of them. He's drawn to her more every day, and he has to admit some of her ideas for the store offer unexpectedly positive results.

But someone doesn't want the mercantile to succeed, and threatening words have escalated into destruction and danger. Will Melanie and Caleb's business--and budding romance--survive the trouble that's about to come their way?

My thoughts:

Trouble in Store was an entertaining read. As I expected going in, I found the story fun and enjoyable. I didn't expect the thread of suspense in the story, but I absolutely loved it (even if I did kind of suspect who was behind the murders).

I liked the characters and I also liked the whole setting of the store. It was fun to see them clash over things regarding the store and yet he's realize sometimes that her ideas made sense. I also thought the romance was sweet.

All in all, Trouble in Store was a great historical romance. I recommend it!
