A delightful romance and courtship between Harly Jacobs, a resident of Ragtown, and Dory, a pioneer heading west. It is a sweet story with the old west and its culture beautifully illustrated.

—5 Enchantments rating from Desiree de Cleves at Enchanting Reviews

Ms. Sarah Richmond has done a great job of integrating the people of Ragtown into a collection of sweet, easily-read love stories. The main thing I noticed was that all three of the women were strong and had abilities to think and act effectively. We were not subjected to the concept that women need a man to lead. I appreciate that all three knew what was necessary to do to get the desired outcome.

Both the main characters and their subordinate counterparts were believable and interesting. I recommend this book to anyone who appreciates a love story with heart.

While I loved every story in the book, Rosy really captured my heart. Rosy is such a strong woman that I just loved getting to know her and had to laugh at her determination to convince Matt to see things her way. This story was an emotional one and had me angry one minute and on the verge of tears the next.

Sarah Richmond has written a memorable book full of wonderful characters, compelling storylines with a ‘taste’ of living and loving in one of the small towns that played such a pivotal role in the development of America. While I knew that this book would involve brides in this small community, I hadn’t anticipated the difficulties the couples would face or just how much I’d come to care about the various members of Ragtown. This is a wonderful book especially if you’re looking for a more traditional historical book.

Rose Adagio: Romance in the Gilded Age

Rose Adagio is a Cinderella story set at the turn of the century when the old ways are giving way to new. For me, this book is as much about Helen’s self discovery as it is a love story between Helen and John.

Ms. Richmond was able to pull me into the story and let me feel some of the heartache, laughter and joy through the well developed characters in the story.

Rose Adagio is a very entertaining story. I very much enjoyed the character of Helen and was impressed by her duty to her family. From the very first page it is obvious that she feels commitment to them, even though she and her father never really did see eye to eye.
Sarah Richmond is an ingenious storyteller and I will look forward to reading more from her.
