4.0 out of 5 stars Redeeming love and second chances
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2021

Enjoyed the story. In essence represents the power of redeeming love, forgiveness, second chances. Only one flaw to my experienced eye (mother,preschool teacher) opinion Joshuas character is misrepresented as a three year old child. His speech, behavior, and the fact that he was carried up at the hip most of the time, suggests he was only two.

Velma answered a mail order bride that been written by Martha, Charles sister.Velma was an almost destitute widow and Charles was a widower with a toddler son that he had neglected due to grief.
The marriage started out as a business arrangement because Charles did not want to marry again.
Velmas faith and courage from her loss changed the way Charles was responding to his loss.
Slowly they grew closer but an outsider threatened to bring them apart but after making changes to his life, Charles and Velma were able to find true love and Joshua, Charles son finally acknowledged him as his Father.
It was a very emotional and intense story.

Velma is a widow in danger of becoming a saloon girl to survive, when she answers an advertisement for a marriage of convenience. Charles is a widower who has not accepted the death of his wife and become a stranger to his young son, Joshua. Martha, Charles sister, placed the ad without his knowledge. When Velma arrives Charles goes through with the marriage, than they had to learn to trust each other and to forgive many grievances. It is a very emotional journey, with likeable characters. A very good story.

There is a great start to the story and a good storyline. But, it felt drug out at times, and I struggled to stay engaged.
A widow and widower marry for convenience and things begin to change as their grief abates. Entwined in the story is a sister-in-law and soiled dove seeking lives of their own.
There is some interesting parts about the time period and training horses for the US Cavalry.

Editing, typo errors were almost nil, which rare among writers. So that is a good thing. The storyline was not hard to follow and the characters were interesting.
