I enjoy Christian Historical Romance books and I also love reading books by "New to Me" Authors. The Railroad Magnate by Karen Baney is Book 3 in the Colter Sons series. I have not read the first 2 books in this series, although this book reads excellent as a Standalone book. 

The setting of this book is 1891 in Prescott, Arizona. James Colter is a career-minded Railroad Industry Businessman. He LOVES his career, but he also desires to have a wife and family. He goes into depression as he sees his younger brothers getting married and having children. He just might have met the woman of his dreams when he dances with the daughter of an older friend. Keri Glassman wants to get married, have children, and have a career as a Contract Attorney. Keri is very excited when she is invited on a Train Ride by a Suitor. She goes on the train ride and now she feels very much in love. Keri has so much at stake as she doesn't want to disappoint her parents by not following in their career path. Will James Colter and Keri Glassman choose career over love? Do James and Keri finally decide to settle down and get married? 

I was engrossed in this book from the very first chapter. I LOVE that the Book is centered around the RailRoad Industry and a Train Ride is involved. I admit James wasn't a favorite character as I began reading the book, but I LOVE how he matured throughout the Book. Keri wanted to please her parents by following in their footsteps. I LOVE how Keri finds the courage to be able to follow her dreams of becoming a Wife and Mother. James seemed like a "quiet Christian" in the book, but he clearly was a man of faith. This book is one of Family, Romance, Faith, and Suspense! I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Historical Romance. GREAT BOOK!

I love books where the main characters want marriage and family!!! I feel like that is a theme that more books should include.

This sounds interesting, especially with a woman who wants to be an attorney during the 1800s.
