For Love or Money by Renae Brumbaugh
4.0

Grace Foster leaves her sleepy little hometown in Texas to follow what she believes is God's calling for her life, marrying a rich man. She finds a perfect opportunity to serve God AND find her rich mister right when her friend Anne asks her to help run a Chicago orphanage.
Trevor James, rancher and dedicated Bible student, meets Grace on the train and they discover their mutual destination. She assumes he's a poor cowboy and obviously not the man God has planned for her. Grace has grand plans for all the good she'll be able to accomplish as a rich man's wife and she can't see past his humble outward appearance.
I was annoyed with Grace for the majority of the book but she's likable, just a little misguided. Trevor is a wonderful hero. He's humble, humorous, and devoted. Trevor and Grace's friends and Grace's aunt were supportive and encouraging. The story was full of mystery, suspense, humor, and romance. It's a good read and I would enjoy continuing the series.

I received this book through The Book Club Network (bookfun.org) in exchange for my honest review.
