So Little Time

Mail Order Bride #9

by Al Lacy, JoAnna Lacy

Romance and revulsion, distance and determination frame a story that spans the continent in the late 1800s. McClain Reardon had saved ten-year-old Rya's life when the fugitive John Wilkes Booth held her at gunpoint in Virginia. Reuniting with McClain years later on the wagon trail to California, lovely Rya falls in love with her lifelong hero, and they plan to get married. But there is one dark shadow on this bright future: a sore old suitor's merciless harassment. Even though the Reardons have found true love, separation seems unavoidable. Trusting God is crucial when there is so little time...

3.5 stars
I think the story would’ve been 10 times better if it didn’t start with talking about John Wilkes Booth. Think the author could’ve introduced the main characters Rya Garrett and McClain Reardon another way.

What a wonderful book...a must read

[Tressa (Wishful Endings)]

This had too much history of John Wilkes Booth in it for me and not enough development between the two main characters. It also was too preachy for me, or I guess the religious aspect felt forced into the story instead of blending with it and feeling part of it.
