This is a good story, but in my opinion is not quite what I'm accustomed to from Lilah Rivers. I love her writing. This book was repetitive in places, and it did take away from the storyline a bit. All in all it is a good read. I loved the main characters. But her family was something else, I did not like them at all.

Great story!
This marriage could have been terrible for Josiah and Tabitha but their willingness and perseverance made it awesome! Love the strength, courage and faith that saw them through the hard times. Really enjoyed when Ronald got what was coming to him! Happy ending for Ashley too topped off this wonderful book!

This is the third time I am writing this review and it has not gone through. Is it because it is unfavorable? The book was confusing and repetitive. It was like the author wrote two versions and tried to blend them. The result was an interesting plot very poorly done. I have enjoyed books by this author before but this one really needs a serious rewrite.

Great Story
When Josiah and Tabitha have to marry because someone started some false rumors about them, they had no idea that God brought them together for good. As they bond together and fall in love with each other, someone is trying to make things worse for them, but they don't succeed. This is a really good book.

This was an interesting premise for a story, two people forced to marry because of rumors that they had been involved in inappropriate behavior, but it was poorly written and was hard to feel anything for the characters.

Awesome Read.
I enjoyed this book. It was sweet, scary, hurtful for some characters, sad and more. That is all I can say without spoilers. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

I really enjoyed this book. Tabitha and Josiah were forced into marriage and it seemed very unfair. As the couple spend time together the feelings of love grow.
