There is no such thing as an impossible dream . . .

Catherine Whitfield is sure that she will never again be able to trust anyone in the medical profession after the local doctor's treatments killed her mother. Despite her loneliness and her broken heart, she carries bravely on as Cimarron Creek's dutiful schoolteacher, resigned to a life where dreams rarely come true.

Austin Goddard is a newcomer to Cimarron Creek. Posing as a rancher, he fled to Texas to protect his daughter from a dangerous criminal. He's managed to keep his past as a surgeon a secret. But when Catherine Whitfield captures his heart, he wonders how long he will be able to keep up the charade.

With a deft hand, Amanda Cabot teases out the strands of love, deception, and redemption in this charming tale of dreams deferred and hopes becoming reality.

MY THOUGHTS

Nothing beats a historical romance set in Texas--except maybe one with a medical twist! While I enjoyed Amanda Cabot's series opener, A Stolen Heart, this new release is her best yet, and I couldn't put it down. Easily read as a standalone, A Borrowed Dream focuses on Catherine and Austin's story, yet their circle of friends-not to mention the town at large-includes individuals from the previous novel, providing a richer experience for readers of both works. Cabot provides a fascinating glimpse of the extremes of medicine in the waning nineteenth century, from leeches and purgatives to the cutting edge (no pun intended!) of plastic surgery within the framework of this multi-faceted tale. Heart-wrenching incidents intersperse with sigh-worthy encounters as evil lurks. A roller-coaster of emotions enveloped me as I read, and the climax took my breath away. Don't miss A Borrowed Dream, a must for your spring reading list!
