Even If Nothing Else Is Certain by Amy Willoughby Burle

 

Ruby Foster loves her job as a Pack Horse librarian, but secretly she dreams of being a nurse. Since there are no schools for nursing in the hills of rural Kentucky in 1937, Ruby contents herself with harvesting medicinal plants, delivering her beloved library books, and dreaming. Dreaming mostly of a life that doesn't leave her living in the past. Until one day she discovers that "past" camped out by the Hell for Certain creek. Could it really be Cole, the one who left her heartbroken so many years ago? Just when she starts to believe in her dreams and hope for love again, Cole reveals his true colors. Or is the truth she sees only another illusion?

My Thoughts...
I loved going back to Certain Ky, I never wanted to leave after book 1 so I am happy to say I didn't want to leave after book 2. Romances and pack horse librarians go together in this must read book by Burle.
