It was okay but not worth paying for
I picked this up for free and gave it a try, but I won't be reading any of the sequels.
For those who care:this is a clean romance. I don't think they even kiss till they actually get engaged.
It placed post civil war, and yet if they didn't specifically tell you that, you wouldn't know. There is literally nothing in any of it that gives you an idea of the time period beyond "not modern". There is almost no description of anything. I vaguely remember a brown bonnet, a red and green quilt and a blue dress, nothing else in the entire house, etc is described.
There wasn't really a plot, or any real character development. I mean they tried. There were like three possible plots, none of which ever had an actual arc. They just kinda dissolved and then got summed up without any actual structure. Maybe if they had focused on one plot and fleshed it out it would have read better.
The only part of it that had any real feeling to it were the prayer passages, and frankly they were trite and the story read better if you skipped over them all together.
