Originally gave it four stars to be kind to the author.. I can't in good conscience leave it at that... this book and the two to follow are complete and utter drivel that borders on ridiculous. Unless you are trapped in an airplane, bus or car seat don't waste your time... makes no sense.. are they in the United State .. are they in Europe.. is it the 1800's, the 1900's.. are they wealthy, are they paupers.. are they educated or not... the language and phrases that are use say not.....
This is a short mail order bride story written by Hope Sinclair. She has done an excellent job with the plot and the characters. This is excitement and some adventure in this story, also understanding, forgiveness and love. You will enjoy reading this tale.
The characters in this story about the adventures of a woman who headed out to a life in another life was a brave soul indeed. The story is a very interesting and entertaining tale.
The bride and groom at first seemed to be in conflict. However, the way they came to love and trust each other was very special. I reccomend this novel to any one who enjoys following a couple who comes together for themselves and others as well. Enjoy.
