About this book:
“When Lucy Weber is forced to leave the orphan train and is offered up to any man who'd have her in Saddle, Texas, she doesn't know what to do. The last thing she wants is a husband, especially not leering Clem Toeger.
Garrett Black didn't mean to find himself a wife. He was perfectly satisfied running his ranch on his own. But when a frightened girl is offered up to anyone who wanted her, he can't abide the thought of her being hitched to Clem Toeger, a man with questionable integrity and the only candidate.
Will this unlikely couple have a chance at love?”
Series: As of now, no.

Rating-
This debut book well written and honestly
reminded me of Karen Witemeyer’s first books. Lucy & Joan were both very
sweet, and Garrett was a great hero for the story. I loved their faiths. The
cover is also super cute. :)
See y’all on Wednesday with a new
review!
