 So, this might be a weird comparison, but if you loved the Little House books when you were a kid, then I think you might enjoy Tempest. It’s set in a small town in 1885 Wyoming. The center of the story is the romance, of course, but another big part of the book is the lead character moving to a small town, getting to know the people, and setting up her home. It hits the spot for details about old west life, including how the stove works and small town politics. The spicy scenes are really fun, but if they’re not you’re thing you could easily skip them and enjoy the rest of the book!
