Synopsis

The year is 1835 and Carolina Adams finds herself enchanted by an unlikely suitor . . . the railroad. Frustrated by society's expectations upon her gender, she longs to study more masculine subjects and is thrilled when her father grants her a tutor.

James Baldwin arrives to serve as Carolina's teacher, but of more importance, he is to court Carolina's beautiful older sister, Virginia. Will expectations—and Virginia's southern charm—elicit the hoped-for proposal? Or will James and Carolina dare to acknowledge the mutual interests and feelings growing between them?

Goodreads review by Kari on January 09, 2012

I found this to be an interesting book focusing on the emerging railroads of the US with a light romance spin to it. This is NOT a typical, bawdy romance novel, and would instead be completely appropriate for a religious, teenager who wants her heart to flutter a bit as she reads. (I haven't read th......more

Goodreads review by Carolyn on January 17, 2013

Thankfully the whole series is out so there is no waiting. These types of books/series are the worst when just released becaus......more
