Summary:
A single lady, Caroline (Carrie), ends up on the Oregon trail with an upright, godly young man named Simon and his two hired hands. Due to restrictions, they pretend to be married, but it’s strictly an arrangement of convenience. (They each tell themselves.) She’s trying to reach her cousin, and he just wants to sell his goods and either become a lumber yard owner or a farmer with a land grant.
Additional Comments:
- The author’s books follow similar patterns, which you’ll find amusing if you hear enough of them. Yes, I laughed near the end when the MC had something specific happen to her. Sorry, I know that’s vague. Nevertheless, they’re clean and generally have characters you can root for.
- Simon and Caroline go through the usual comedy of errors of accidents and near-misses before sorting stuff out, though this set wasn’t quite as drawn out as some other books, so I only yelled at them a little.
- Followed the typical CF pattern. Guy meets girl. Guy falls for girl even though she’s not a Christian. She becomes a Christian. They marry and live HEA.
- The bad guy’s fate surprised me, but it works.
- Kandace Peppers’s put in a decent performance. I’d listen to other books narrated by her.
Conclusion:
Clean, Christian romance and historical fiction. If you’re looking for light, entertaining read with sweet characters, you can check out any of Barbara Goss’s books, including this one.
