Song of My Heart Review

About the book:

Sadie Wagner has always been devoted to her family. So when her stepfather is injured and can't work, she decides to leave home and accept a position as a clerk at the mercantile in Goldtree, Kansas. Goldtree also offers the opportunity to use her God-given singing talent--though the promised opera house is far different from what she imagined. With her family needing every cent she can provide, Sadie will do anything to keep her job.

McKane comes to Goldtree at the request of the town council. The town has been plagued by bootlegging operations, and Thad believes he can find the culprit.

After he earns enough money doing sheriff work, he wants to use it to pay for his training to become a minister.

Thad is immediately attracted to the beautiful singer who performs in Asa Baxter's unusual opera house, but when he hears her practicing bawdy tunes, he begins to wonder if she's far less innocent than she seems. And when Sadie appears to be part of the very crimes he's come to investigate, is there any hope the love blossoming between them will survive?

My Review:

I was swept to Indiana from the beginning.  Then in a whirlwind I was in Kansas, feeling that hot dust whip around me.  Kim Vogel Sawyer inserts her readers into the story so that you really aren't reading a love story you are living it!  I am a fan of sweet love stories, but this one was taken to the next level!  I loved the heroic story line, but instead of the typical hero being a man, it was Miss Sadie, out to save her family.  Sawyer painted such an amazing picture that I really was in love with the Sheriff, and felt that hurt of loosing a childhood cousin's familiar relationship.  One of my favorite things about this book was the way that Sawyer used the different point of views to tell the story, you didn't just get Sadie's thoughts, but also Sid's and Thad's.  And when the story gets really really good and you want to know what one of the characters is thinking... you don't get that point of view because it would give away the whole thing!!  And you are left wondering, "WHAT IS SHE/HE THINKING!?!?!"  Which in the end makes for a much better story!  All in all, I think I have once again found a new author and look forward to reading more in the future... I am hoping there is a follow up novel to this story...
