Here we go...
- Luke changed his mind HELLA fast.
- Bea Anderson drives me absolutely crazy. It should not have taken her that long, and finding her sister (which I totally called) didn't really give Bea the chance to redeem herself. Her character was kinda forced into redemption by circumstance. She couldn't just change on her own.
- EVERY PERSON from the age of 15 to 60 is paired in this book. There does not to be a couple pairing for an ENTIRE town. I just. was losing my mind. This is like the stories I composed in my head at age 11.
- Did not hold my attention - I was really looking forward to this book. Really was. Loved the whole forbidden love thing but it just never felt like anything strong and just - no. Almost DNF-ed but I was a little bit invested.
- I have also seen better written fanfiction than this. Really and truly.

Book 2 of the Winds Across the Prairie series, I enjoyed this one much more than I did the first book, Becoming Lucy. Dove and Luke were introduced in the first novel and their story continues here. Dove and her family are no strangers to prejudice and judgments because of their Cherokee heritage. While most people in the town of Barton Creek accept them, Luke's mother, Bea Anderson cannot because her past experience with raiding Indians has closed her heart to acceptance and forgiveness.
The road to true love is never easy and as Luke and Dove deal with the different obstacles put in their path, their love grows stronger. The Haynes family, Aunt Clara, and Jake and Lucy Starnes make an appearance here, as do the evil Fowlers who bring trouble at every turn. With themes of love, faith and forgiveness, this is a compelling story and one I thoroughly enjoyed. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

I wasn't that impressed with the first book in this series, Becoming Lucy but I was willing to give this book a chance since it featured my favorite character from Book 1, Dove Morris. While this book was better than Becoming Lucy I thought it lagged in the middle and I didn't really become attached to any of the characters especially Bea Anderson, Luke Anderson's angry and bitter mother and almost didn't care what happened to her by the end of the book. However I did like that there was a little more action in this book such as a few altercations, a fire which involved a last minute rescue (including a litter of kittens) and a family reunion that was over 25 years in the works. Over all this book would strictly be recommended for readers of Christian fiction as it may come off as a bit preachy but if you enjoyed Becoming Lucy I think you will like Morning for Dove even more.
