So I bought a sample from Amazon to see if this was something for me and after reading the first chapter I was really lost. Or more the purpose of reading this book was totally gone. The first and only chapter I read gave me a good impression at first but then at the end made me question why I had picked this up in the first place. I think I became bored with Luc when he started thinking back to how it used to be and the conversation between him and his father was really really really boring TO DEATH.

Nope, I don't recommend this. At least not if you want to find what I think everyone wants to find when buying this book.

OBS! I sure as hell should give this book a fair chance and one chapter is not enough to say this book is bad BUT I don't think it will become better and I don't have the time to stick around and find out.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It kept me entertained. She is a spinster who has organised a full cargo of not-so-sweet brides West on the Oregon Trail. Before all this is to happen she some how, being at the wrong place at the wrong time, ends up in a marriage to a dying stranger. This also helps as the wagon master has told her only widows permitted on the wagon train, no single women. Unfortunately her not so dead husband makes a recovery and seeks her out. To keep her pretence he does not mention them being husband and wife. Throughout the journey he pretends to be courting her while in actual fact he is trying to claim his husbandry rights. He is seeking a man for revenge while she is seeking that same man for love. Neither realises it's the same man.

Was so needing a HEA!

I felt like I was on a constantly moving seesaw. These two remind me of Scarlet and Rhett! Forever hurting, leaning into, wanting and needing one another. All while pretending their obliviousness to one another.
