Review
Overall this book was not a bad book. It wasn't one of my favorites of Jeanette Oke. But this could be because I was kind of in a reading slump. I enjoyed the beginning and the ending of this book. It felt like the middle dragged on for a long time. However I loved the last line of the book "Welcome to our love-filled home."

Spice and content warning
There was NO SPICE in this book. Mention of kissing between two married people (but no description). There was one minor part in the book <where a man tried to do something to a married woman> but nothing happened. There were a few deaths in the book as well. If you want more details I will have them written in the spoiler section below:)

<SPOILERS>
  • Mention of a married couple kissing but no description.
  • Man (married) ends up drowning with his horses. They tried to bring him back to life, but failed. Page 76
  • A woman dies in childbirth. The baby dies as well. Nothing is described. This happens on page 93.
  • Man tries to take advantage of a married woman. Nothing happens (he doesn't even touch her) as someone comes in to stop it. Later on this character is fired. This scene happens on Pages 206-208.
