Another super clean romance (with a soapbox moment for abstinence, which dropped it a half star) with a Very Goody Two-Shoes heroine. She was a borderline doormat except that she was self-aware enough to realize there was something wrong with how she allowed the hero to treat her. There was a little bit too much of telling instead of showing, but then so many authors will have the hero's inner monologue be all "I'm afraid to love!" In reality, that is not like a conscious thought on the part of commitment-phobes, but whatever, it's pretty common in this trope. I still very much enjoyed the overheard insult and angst and misunderstandings! That bit was right up my alley. Just would have liked a bit more steam, and I can’t say I find the idea of ELEVEN CHILDREN to be appealing or romantic, but at least it wasn't an explicitly Christian romance. Though I guess I’m not surprised given the author’s GR bio saying she misses the times when “women were women and men were men” whatever that conservative claptrap means ( )

A Delightful Read

Simply put - I really enjoyed this. The characters were well drawn - The storyline engaging and I will confess to looking forwards to continuing my read with some level of guilty pleasure - this book had heart and conviction - will read more from this author - nicely done Miss Harrison, Nicely done.
