My Review:

This was a book that made me smile at the end and even though it is part of a series I do not think that I missed anything by not reading the other books. The author did a great job of describing the west! Raina and Ty were characters that I liked to read about and I could not wait until the end to find out what happened to them. I was curious about who and where Raina's father was. I did not like Raina's brother in law nor did I like her sister, and it made me wonder about their mother. Their daughters definitely had different ideas about what a marriage should be. There is something about a saloon in the west that brings memories of gun fights, etc. The religious themes throughout the book were written in a way that was not overly pushy. The characters had faith, and at times their faith was tested. This is a great western historical romance, with religious beliefs. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review from Book Club Network Inc., however all opinions are my own.
