YOU CAN’T DENY LOVE
But that’s exactly what both Marlon and Charlotte thought they could do. Marlon lost his wife before setting out on the Oregon Trail, which is how he and Charlotte met. She lost her husband on the trail from illness. She had a 3-year-old daughter, while Marlon had a 12-year-old son. They both knew it would be next to impossible to make it alone, each with a child to raise, so Marlon proposes a marriage of convenience and Charlotte accepts.
It’s not long before Charlotte realizes she has more feelings for Marlon than she bargained for though, but she’s afraid of shattering the friendship and contentment they both shared in each other. The marriage of convenience seems to have worked out quite well, and she didn’t want to ruin things by expressing feelings she was sure Marlon couldn’t or wouldn’t return.
But when an accident shows Marlon that he’s been trying to deny feelings that just wouldn’t be denied, and he might lose Charlotte before he ever had a chance to tell her, he realizes what a fool he’s been. Will they have the chance to turn their marriage of convenience into something more? Or will Marlon suffer yet another loss...one that he thought he was protecting himself from by not loving Charlotte, but one which would hurt him nonetheless.
This is the last of the series of the couples on the Oregon Trail, and at the end, we meet all the couples for a final dinner. Charlotte and Marlon had been married while on the Oregon Trail, and there was no time for making it a special event. Neither one of them was interested in making it a special event anyway, so the minister did his thing, then the wagons continued on. This was a celebration of their wedding, but also a celebration for each of the other couples and what they found at the end of the trail.
This was another good one. I think my favorites would have to be a toss-up between the first and second, but the third and this one were also good. It was only the fourth I didn’t much care for, although I suppose it wasn’t a bad story either. Overall, it’s been a good series.

Marlon's wife Diana died less than a year ago. Marlon and his 12 year old son Clay set off on the Oregon trail to start a new life in Oregon. On the trip to Oregon Charlotte's husband Matthew dies of cholera leaving Charlotte and her 3 year old daughter Katie alone to continue on to Oregon alone. Marlon proposes a marriage of convenience to Charlotte so that they can help each other on the trail to Oregon and once they arrive to build a farm. This is a captivating story of their hard work and determination to build a new life for their children in Oregon. They weren't looking for love and never expected to find love, but will love find them? Another wonderful story by Indiana Wake about the settlers that traveled the Oregon Trail and set up a new beginning in Oregon.

What a beautiful story of two people dealing with the deaths first of Marlon's wife and then of Charlotte husband . Marlon asks Charlotte to marry him to help with each others children as they travel the Oregon Trail . Charlotte starts to have feelings for Marlon but he rejects her will their marriage always be this way or will an accident bring them closer together ? I loved the interaction between all the women and men travelling the Oregon Trail. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Marriage of convenience on the Oregon Trail
The other wolves together real life situations in a way you felt you were there. When the widower talks to the widow about a marriage of convenience he meant it. It shows the trials and tribulations of moving westward and what it took to survive.

Loved this series. Love and lost and finding love again is rare and taking that chance is a struggle. Written with compassion this is a fitting end to some wonderful books. I enjoyed it
