You are what you read

Vivian Sinclair is joining her married sisters in Colorado and she isn’t sure she will fit. She wants to make her own way as a fashion designer, but there is a problem. She can’t find a job in the mining community. Being a telephone operator only lasted a day or so, the local stores didn’t need women clerks and the clothing stores had no extra money to hire a new employee. When offered a job as a hostess in a sporting house, Vivian felt that a past mistake sort of gave her leave to work in such an establishment. However, her streak of independence is about to land her in trouble. When Miss Pearl, the owner, ends up dead Vivian becomes a suspect. The outlaw boyfriend of Miss Pearl is convinced she killed Miss Pearl and he is out for revenge. The sheriff and her sisters also want to know what has happened. How can she ever explain why she even considered working for Miss Pearl? Will her sisters reject her when they find out about what happened before she left Portland? Is she worthy of the love of the sheriff's love now?

The third book in the Sinclair Series of Cripple Creek series, The Bride Wore Blue still is a good stand alone book. Once I began, it quickly became a book that competed with my need for sleep.

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for review.
