Publisher's Summary:

Will Roy's secret tear their new family apart? Or will Faith be able to uncover it and warm his heart?

A Clean, Okay Story

Faith Walker has always wanted to marry for love, not convenience and comfort. Her parents, especially her father, have other ideas however. Thinking she at least wants some adventure, she chooses to answer a mail order bride advertisement instead of marrying the man theyâve picked out for her. Will this be better than marrying someone she'll never love and who doesn't really love her?

This is a 120-page novella. I would not call this âa full-lengthâ romance. Although I donât particularly like first person point of view, the first part of the novel held my attention, but the last part felt rushed, vague, and didnât let the reader see a relationship develop. It was almost as if the author didnât know how to handle the story once things began to work out. In addition, I didnât like that some important details were skipped altogether. For example, there are only horses and buggies, but no dates given, and the language sounds rather modern. Faithâs family home is back East, but thatâs all weâre told. It is a clean novella. With a little more effort, and the last part fleshed out, this could be a much better story. As it is, however, itâs just okay.

Not believable

The author had a good story but it was not developed well enough for me to really get involved. I found Faith to be rather silly and illogical. Why would she be angry with her parents for encouraging a stranger to court her, and then marry a stranger far from her family? Because if she can't have love, she want's adventure? I don't buy it.

Still Waiting for the Spark

I agree with all the negative reviews. This started out really good and I could overlook some of the stuff like they lived on a farm and had no milk cow or anything besides turnips to eat. Little Minnie should have had so many health issues like ricketts and Roy worked hard and only ate turnips; the man must have been skin & bones. I was really feeling for Faith at the train robbery and when she saw the wedding she signed up for and cold stare from Roy; feeling maybe her father was right. I was waiting for the spark between her and Roy even briefly but it never happened. All that happened was negative I was thinking she left the safety of her home because she wanted to marry for love but what was the difference between Roy and Mr Bryson. I felt cheated out of what led up to the happily ever after.
