It felt fast compared to the others in the series but it is a novella so that's to be expected. Still a sweet story that sets up the O'Conner family's journey to the Wyoming territory.

Loved the story of how Ian and Biddy met and fell in love. It's a fast, enjoyable read that is easy to devour.

I don't know why it took me so long to get this on my reading list - I adore all of Sarah Eden's books. I loved going back to the world of Hope Springs and getting Ian and Biddy's story and learning more about the O'Connor family when they lived in New York.

Very sweet. Not much to it, though... I read it in just two hours because it was so short. Somehow, as short as it was there still were way more words than content.

This is a sweet, simple story that tells Ian and Biddy’s story. We get to know Biddy’s background and why she and her family left Ireland. I enjoyed their story and getting to know more of the O’Connor clan.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This is a great short story that provides the reader with the chance to get to know these characters before the events of the rest of the series. I really enjoyed reading this between books three and four because it sets up book four's events quite nicely. Thoroughly enjoyed this short and sweet romance about two Irish factory workers who find their way through the difficulties and discriminations of the day in order to make their own happily ever after.

I needed to read this for the last book of the series to make a bit more sense and for the next book which comes out this year to make sense. I am glad the library finally got a copy. ;)
