Lord's Love (Cottonwood Book 2)
Cottonwood 1875
“Magdelina Taylor, how could you break your mother’s heart so?â€
Out from under her domineering mother and into an apartment above her workplace, Maggie Taylor finally blossoms into the woman she feels God wants her to be. She revels in her independence and doesn't want any sort of entanglement with a man.
Forced by his father to leave England, Sinjon Lytton arrives in Cottonwood only to find he’s to work as a stable hand. The only good thing about the town is the beautiful woman with the golden hair he meets the first day.
Maggie doesn't feel any delight about the man who seems so happy to be hired as her driver. She denies the tingling the touch his hand brings her, too busy dealing with living on her own to admit her growing attraction to Sinjon.
Maggie’s mother would love nothing more than to see them married. Maggie worries if their faiths are too different to get what her heart desires. Sinjon wants what Sinjon wants and nothing is going to stand in his way.
When all options seem wrong, can they learn to trust God and see that he will make a way? Even when it seems impossible?

Review by Traci Bonney http://tracibonney.com/2012/09/26/lrw-lords-love/
I said in my review of Healing Love that I was eager to see what happened next, and I wasn’t disappointed. Lydia and Sterling, the couple at the center of the first book, continue their story in Lord’s Love, but in the background of the drama unfolding between Maggie and Sinjon. Drew, Rachel, Peter and Ellie are also present in their supporting roles as Maggie’s friends and mentors. The women teach Maggie the things she needs to know about keeping a home, since her privileged upbringing didn’t allow her to learn those skills. The men welcome Sinjon into their community and draw him into their circle of friends.
Maggie’s parents, Eustace and Beulah Taylor, also have strong presences. Eustace is the wise and supportive father, much more enlightened about his daughter’s needs than one might expect from a father of that era. Beulah, true to her social climbing nature, seems to be more concerned about her status and reputation than anything else. She fails to see that she is the only person shocked and upset by her daughter’s choices.
The characters stayed true to who they were in the first book, the last few pages of which overlap the story line of Lord’s Love. The pacing is right, not giving away too much too soon. The book ends without any cliffhangers or unresolved questions, but since it is the second in a series, we know there will be more to tell about this small town and its endearing residents. I’m looking forward to the next installment.
