"
Sarah Franklin, a young teacher escaping an arranged marriage to a corrupt man, runs straight into the arms of Captain Harry Richardson as he prepares to board a train leaving Macon, Georgia, in 1875. She begs him to help her, and the captain soon finds himself in the midst of a ruse to hide her identity from her pursuers. When he impulsively kisses her in front of his amazed friends and some curious newspaper reporters, everything changes, and events soon spiral out of control.
Harry is a handsome man who carries his Bible and sidearm in a worn, leather valise. He fought on the side of the Confederacy until he was captured at Missionary Ridge; he spent time in a northern prison, but was released when he agreed to go west and fight the Indians with the U.S. Cavalry. Now that the war is over and he has earned his theology degree, Harry is looking forward to a new beginning as a circuit-riding preacher in the North Georgia mountains. But first, he must survive the train trip, protecting a woman he barely knows and putting his life in jeopardy to battle a determined band of hired gunmen.
In this inspirational historical tale, a soldier-turned-minister learns that even if you’re starting a new life, there are some things you can’t leave behind.

Review "Using many elements from Victorian melodrama, Durbin's debut novel handles characterizations well, with both heroes and villains being more than just cardboard cutouts. The camaraderie between Harry and his friends is believable and helps define his character while making Sarah's trust more understandable; he's the kind of man friends would do anything for. Durbin also complicates the plot in interesting ways beyond the forced marriage."--Kirkus Reviews

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Really Enjoyed It By Dear Reader Let me say at the outset that I know the author. I'm even acknowledged at the beginning of the book. That said, I read the book for two reasons: curiosity, and out of a feeling of obligation towards a friend. I was thrilled to find out that I really enjoyed it.This is Doris Durbin's first book. She's a recently retired librarian who has always wanted to write, and now has the time to. When Doris emailed me that the book was published, she described it as "a romance/mystery/historical/Christian novel about a young former soldier and soon-to-be circuit rider and a desperate young woman traveling by train and wagon from Macon to north Georgia in 1875. There are murderers and counterfeiters, bootleggers and revenuers, all giving chase. I hope it will be part of a series."I'm not a reader of romances, or a reader of Christian fiction, so I started the book with a little trepidation. By the end of the first chapter I was hooked! First of all, events in the book move quickly. The Captain, the hero of the book, meets the desperate young woman in the first pages. She is indeed desperate, and the way that he helps her is unique and surprising. The action of the book, for the most part, takes place on the train trip, then a wagon trip, and there are bad guys giving chase all the way. In each chapter another crisis has to be resolved. I kept being reminded of Odyesseus' travails as he wound his way home. It's a page turner!Secondly, the characters are interesting and well developed. I found myself picking up the book when I should have been doing something else because I really wanted to know what was going to happen to them next. I'm still curious. The author wants this to be a trilogy, and I hope she continues to write. I'm curious to find out what happens to the characters in the next chapters of their lives.Now to address the Christian/romance aspect of the book: The book is Christian in that the Captain has become a minister and is on his way to the North Georgia mountains to accept a calling at a church, but that is the extent of the Christian aspect of the book. It is in no way preachy. I'm sure the Captain's Christianity is the reason for some of his actions, but he's also a multifaceted man who has a temper, finds a certain young woman awfully attractive, and he can use a gun as well as he can play the fiddle. As far as the romance goes, there is no ripping of bodices, for which I was grateful.Doris Durbin took pains to research and include accurate historical details that flesh out the telling of the story. Being a Georgian myself, I enjoyed learning some of the history of the state while reading the book.All in all, 5 stars! Bravo, Doris! Write another!

I ran the battery down. Plugged the silly thing in by an uncomfortable chair. Was late cooking dinner, missed taking out the trash ....You get the picture. Right?Here's what it is about . . .

There was drama, suspense, murder and mystery.And romance. A bunch of romance at least 3 little romances develop between the pages. (Book 2 please!)There were a lot of characters. A few (band mates of The Captain) took me awhile to keep them straight. And there were more villains than I could count. But all in all it made for a great story.The chapters were pretty long. I had to pace myself. I hate to stop reading in the middle of a chapter. I just took my phone with me!To me the story was fast paced. Actually the entire story covers only a few days.The story seemed authentic to me. The details of the period seemed to work and the author wove a pleasantly heart warming story in the middle of mayhem!I am looking forward to reading more in this series.Congratulations Miss Durbin (it's her first book) visit the authors website. Click here. The Captain Takes a Wife is a 5 star keeper.There were no 'real' bedroom scenes, no language, No Alcohol (the Captain is not a drinker) and although there is murder and mayhem it is handled in a way that is entertaining and not graphic.I received a complimentary copy of The Captain Takes a Wife from BookLook in exchange for my honest review.
