Against the Wind by Amanda Cabot

Against the Wind by Amanda cabinet is part of the Secrets of Sweetwater Crossing series. While this is the second book in the series, you do not need to read the first, although it is very helpful. Louisa Vaughan has returned to Sweetwater Crossing, but only for a few days. Her dreams and ambition to be a midwife, and doctor are not met with the most receptive attitudes in her hometown. She has been rejected in the past and is rejected again. However, on her return trip home, she finds an injured man along the road. As is her calling, Louisa takes care of him. Although she soon finds herself doing more than just taking care of him. 

I could not put this book down. I was so into the storyline and thoroughly enjoyed it. Amanda writes with intrigue and mystery. Against the Wind is action packed  as well as unexpected. This is an excellent book. I can’t wait for the next one to come out. I highly recommend.
