Goodreads Synopsis:
“Marty Dandridge Olson is a widow looking for a way out of Texas. Widower Jake Wythe has secured a job as a bank manager in Denver, only to discover that the bank board wants him to be a married man. With Texas in his roots, he advertises for a Lone Star bride, and Marty answers the call. They both agree they are done with romance and love and will make this nothing more than a marriage of convenience.
Marty works to carve out a new life in high-society Denver as Jake works to guide the bank through a collapsing economy. But when money goes missing at the bank and accounting discrepancies point to Jake, he must find a way to prove his innocence. Yet all he wants to do is go back to Texas and own his own ranch. Marty, on the other hand, owns a ranch–one she’s never told her husband about. She hates Texas because it represents the losses in her life. But as the couple grows closer and love begins to bloom, Marty realizes she needs to tell Jake the truth. Can she come to terms with the past and her anger toward God in order to make room for love?”
My Review:
I really liked reading this book! I have always liked the mail order bride type scenario so this one sounded like a good storyline. This also kind’ve reminded me of “Love Comes Softly” by Janette Oke. Marty, in both books, lost a husband and married someone more for convenience than love. I have read books by Tracie Peterson before and they have always been good. This one did not disappoint. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series! I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars.
I received this book in exchange for my honest review from Bethany House.
