Building Forever, Book One

A haunting guilt. A family to save. A love that can’t be.

When Emma Daniels’ family finds itself destitute, she takes work with the Gilbert Company, which seeks young women to work at hotel restaurants along remote railroad lines out West. The rules for a Gilbert Girl are strict, and no courting is allowed. None of the rules present a problem for Emma, at least until she meets the hotel’s builder, Monroe Hartley.

Building this hotel for the Gilbert Company is the perfect opportunity for Monroe. Not only will it advance his career, it barely gives him a moment to drown in guilt over his wife’s death. When Emma arrives, he finds himself drawn to her. But he can’t promise her anything, not unless he wants her to end up with the same fate his wife suffered.

Giving in to their feelings would mean losing everything, yet they find themselves growing closer as the summer stretches on. When a man who covets Monroe’s job discovers their secret and threatens to reveal it, they must each decide whether their love is worth uprooting everything they’ve worked so hard for.

Running From Forever, Book Two

A wanted man. A heart in hiding. A love to free them both.

The Crest Stone Hotel is the perfect place for a man like Thomas Drexel to hide. Wanted for crimes he didn’t commit, Thomas hopes he can blend in as a handyman at the newly-opened hotel. But his past threatens his future when one of the hotel restaurant’s waitresses discovers his identity.

Caroline Beauchamp ran from Boston to escape an arranged marriage to a despicable man. She’s safe in the hotel, hidden from those who want her to return home. Yet she finds herself drawn to Thomas and compelled to help him prove his innocence, even if she risks her position as a Gilbert Girl to do so.

Experience has taught Thomas not to trust women who come from money, but it’s not long before he sees there’s more to Caroline than he thought. With new guests arriving at the hotel each day, it’s only a matter of time before the law finds Thomas and Caroline’s family finds her. With their futures on the line, Caroline and Thomas must trust their newfound love and face their pasts before they are pulled apart--forever.

Wild Forever, Book Three

A missing girl. A damaged heart. A love that risks it all.

Penny May would do anything to forget her past, even traveling all the way to the Colorado Territory to become a Gilbert Girl. Learning to be a good waitress wasn’t easy, but Penny is happy with her new life and friends at the Crest Stone Hotel. At least until the handsome and infuriating county sheriff arrives in search of his kidnapped sister.

Sheriff Ben Young never thought his work could endanger those he loved until a disgruntled outlaw proves him wrong. The last thing he needs now is another impetuous woman in his life, particularly one who goes traipsing about the mountains with little regard to her own safety. But there’s something about Penny that draws him to her, and she turns into an unlikely ally.

While Penny knows she’ll lose the reputation she’s fought so hard to regain if she’s caught spending time with Ben, she’s compelled to help him find his sister—even if she’ll lose her heart in the process. When Penny finds her own life threatened, Ben must put his feelings for her aside or risk losing both his sister and Penny, forever.

A sunset. Snow on the mountains. A roaring river in the spring. A man and a woman who can't fight the love that pulls them together. The danger and uncertainty of life in the Old West. This is what inspires me to write. I hope you find an escape in my books!​

I live with my family, a couple of dogs, and an orange tabby cat in Kentucky. When I'm not writing, I'm losing myself in a good book, planning my next travel adventure, doing a puzzle, attempting to garden, or wrangling my kids.​

4.0 out of 5 stars exciting and innovative

The concept behind the “Gilbert Girls” has always been interesting. Mr Gilbert truly was a man before his time with inspiring ideas. The author takes these historical facts and with a series of twists and turns creates an exciting romance for each of the girls. Although the reader can assume what the end result will be , the plot for each story is so carefully crafted that you cannot put the story down until the finish. Kudus for the author.

Penny was trying hard not to have any trouble working as a Gilbert Girl. Then a sheriff came to station looking for his kidnapped sister. They seem to be attracted to each other. Could she help him? This was a really fun exciting read. Loved it.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK Set of American Historical Romances
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2023
This is an OK set of American historical romances, with likable couples, but I did have a few issues with them. It gets 3 stars from me.

All the novellas in this boxed set suffer from a lack of character development. I needed more backstory on all of the couples, but especially on the men.

The novellas are all very similar as well. The woman goes to work as a Gilbert girl, knowing that her contract specifies "no courting". The men also know that the Gilbert girls are off limits. Then they meet, and can't resist each other, so they break all the rules -- even though they both desperately need their jobs. The man is also usually dealing with some problem, and the woman is determined to help him. Their rule-breaking causes trouble with their jobs, but the problems are usually resolved easily.

The characters were all likable, and I was glad when the couples found their HEA -- but I did think their problems were resolved a bit too easily.

My rating system is below.
1 star -- Hated it, or did not finish. I usually only give this rating if some of the content is truly objectionable to me, like if one of the main characters does something really awful, and gets away with it.
2 stars -- Didn't like it. This rating usually means that I thought the writing wasn't very good, the editing was terrible, I didn't like the characters, or it had other major flaws.
3 stars -- I liked it, but had some minor issues with it. This rating means that there were minor editing issues, the story needed more character development, it was just too unrealistic, or had some other fairly minor issue. The majority of books I read get this rating – I do not consider it a bad rating.
4 stars -- I liked it a lot. This is a high rating for me, and I rarely give a higher one.
5 stars -- I loved it, and will probably read it again. Very few books are good enough to get this rating from me. The ones that do are usually classics.

5.0 out of 5 stars girls from different backgrounds form a bond, working together
Reviewed in Canada on May 1, 2022

Three Gilbert Girls meet their husbands while there is a no-dating policy in their contracts. Read how they get to know them while trying to keep it a secret from their co-workers and superiors… at least until they know how deep their feelings run.
These stories are well written, full of hope and opportunities. The characters come from different backgrounds but all have one thing in common: they are willing to work hard, wanted to leave their current situations to better future, and had no inclination whatsoever to break the rules ☺. As the first batch of Gilbert Girls arrive on site of the new hotel to get trained, they bond and form their little family away from home.
Enjoy the insight on a time in which it was rare for women to find work and be financially independent, even able to support their families.

I like how each story is completely distinct whilst set within the same place with the same characters, plus some. The stories are well done and interesting, and are engaging as you learn more about each one's story, and the male's involved as well. Enjoyed every one. Never boring.
