This book’s idea was fine, but it was too short to show anything.
Lydia and Zack were courting nearly a decade ago, but Lydia’s father, who never thought Zack was good enough for her, moves them to California. Now, Lydia is a widow, has three daughters, and she says that she has no way to support them (which to me seemed like a bit of a snobbish response because, sure, it would have been hard, but she could have been a maid or something like that and not necessarily a whore, which seems to be the only job she can think of), so she writes to Zack to hold him to a promise he made in the past. They arrive at the ranch, Zack and Lydia get married, they have two or three conversations about their relationship, then something happens that gets resolved in a chapter.
The book was too short to show Lydia and Zack’s relationship developing; Lydia’s daughters adjusting to life on a ranch; Lydia’s daughters getting to know Zack and forming relationships with him; all of them actually doing something.
Also, there was something about Lydia that I didn’t really like, especially at the beginning. It felt like she was taking advantage of Zack – she writes to him, and the letter is shown where she’s basically telling him that he’s going to marry her because of his promise, not even thinking about whether he’s already married or not. I got that she was grieving but she was distant with Zack when he was trying to establish their relationship, so it made me think that she didn’t actually tell him her expectations going into the marriage. Another thing was that their first day as a married couple, he’s talking about spending the day together, and she pushes him away by saying that she needs to spend the day with her daughters. That would have made sense (they’re in a new place and there’ve been lots of changes), but she just sits there reading while they run around the house. When she said that she’d rather spend the day with her kids, I kind of imagined a different scene, where she’s actually doing something with them. I guess, by the end of the book she was fine, or maybe it was just that I didn’t care about the book anymore and just wanted it to be over.
I’m probably not going to read any other books in this series, and I don’t know if I’ll try other books by this author – maybe if they’re longer.

A VERY GOOD DECISION
Even though the problems you face may seem like you'll never get over them you will eventually come. to find that there's always something to gain by staying true to the goal.
This is what the people in this story did. They never forgot their true love of life and love.

Predictable and cheesy
Takes a lot for me to say this, but this book was just too cheesy for my liking. Had to breeze through paragraphs to rush to the ending so I'd at least know how it ended.

Sacks Montana Bride
Third book didn't seem as interesting as the others. I found it repetitive in a few places. I was kind of glad for the end.
