Now don’t get me wrong.  As far as historical romances go, this was better than mediocre.  It is a clean, inspirational, and moralistic.  I’m glad to see the characters turning to God at various times for direction.  Will and Cora are the main ones who rely on God as they seek Him concerning their future.

There is some mystery, intrigue, and some minor action.  I can’t say it was overly exciting, but it did add some interest to the story.  For that, I was happy.  The writing of the book is fine, and it is clear that the author has done some research so her book comes across as “period.”

I guess my biggest complaint with the book is that it is practically the same story that has been told over and over again.  The surprises are kept to a minimum, and the characters are rather stereotypical.

But in fairness to the author, the story is typical, but well-written.  And it clean and Christian.  It also gives a very positive message.  All these things make this book worthy of a four star rating.

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.  I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
