I love a story that has a little history and a little romance. I guess I am a romantic at heart. This book takes place in Oregon~ in 1883. It grabbed my attention from the very first page. Emma may be from the better side of society but she is full of vinegar and spit when it comes right down to it. The pages of this book are sure to draw you in and keep you until the very last page. I rate this book 4 stars.
About the Book From The Publishers~
When socialite Emma Crowell stops the carriage on the way to Portland to ‘exercise’ her new puppy, the last thing she expects is to be left behind in decidedly unsuitable attire, let alone kidnapped. Fortunately, she is soon found by local rancher Peter Lowery. Unfortunately, he has no intention of abandoning his livelihood to take her back to civilization until the fall. He will, however, provide food, shelter and safety, and in return he expects Emma to earn her keep.
Emma is surprised to find she enjoys the challenges of life at the cabin and feels drawn to Peter and his young son Robby. But though willing to learn, no matter how she tries, she never seems to live up to expectations. As Emma seeks God’s guidance and aspires to the picture of womanhood shown in the 31st chapter of Proverbs, Peter comes to realize that he may be underestimating the strength and character behind this woman’s beauty.
