My Review
A wonderful sweet love story about a young woman from a questionable background laced with sorrow. After the death of her mother and her dying wish, Cassie goes to Three Pines Ranch to marry as a mail-order bride. Circumstances beyond her control lead her on a different path that comes with its own sorrow.
The storyline had me from the beginning and the characters were interesting and the slow-moving romance kept me engaged. Lindy was a great addition to the list of characters. She made me smile often.
The story has times of danger, betrayal, and then tender sweet moments that warmed my heart. Highly recommended.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and willingly choose to review it.
