Love on the Line by Deeanne Gist

Love on the Line is the latest historical fiction novel by Deaane Gist.  Georgie Gail is a switchboard operator in rural Brenham, Texas.  She is an independent woman who takes pride in holding her own in a man's world, so she is none too happy when the telephone company sends a man to work the lines (and look over her shoulder).  Little does Georgie know that Luke Palmer is actually a Texas Ranger working a case undercover to get inside a gang of train robbers who have the public's support.  He isn't exactly excited to be working on the telephone lines and taking orders from the likes of Georgie, so of course, sparks fly.   

I have always liked Deeanne Gist's books, and Love on the Line did not disappoint.  It was a little slow in parts, but overall an enjoyable read.  I found the workings of the early phones and phone lines interesting and that was a bonus to the plot.  I would recommend this book.

I received this book in exchange for a review from Bethany House.
