THE SPINSTER AND THE DOCTOR, by Frances Devine.

Reviewed by Marion Kelley Bullock

Elaine Daly, a resident of Cactus Corner for the last five years, has dedicated her life to caring for orphaned children. She has given up all thoughts of a husband and family. Then handsome Dr. Dan Murray comes to town, calls her Lainey, and turns her life topsy turvy.

Dr. Dan has determined not to let his past mess up the chance of a fresh start here in Arizona Territory. But it seems trouble follows him wherever he goes. He can’t escape, no matter how hard he tries.

Elaine doesn’t know what to believe. Is there any truth to the rumors circulating about the doctor? What about the…uh…entertainers at the saloon?

You’ll enjoy this 1890s romance as well as the other three novellas in THE SPINSTER BRIDES OF CACTUS CORNER:

THE SPINSTER AND THE COWBOY, by Lena Nelson Dooley,
THE SPINSTER AND THE LAWYER, by Jeri Odell, and
THE SPINSTER AND THE TYCOON, by Vickie McDonough.

Can four women, branded spinsters, due to their advanced ages of over-thirty, find real happiness? Can they find love?
