4 1/2 starsThis was a sweet story that will warm your heart. Nothing dark or angsty, just an easy-flowing read.The hero, Carter definitely makes this book. His innocence was so believable. His simple letter and his simple statements made me smile and fall in love. I did knock off a half a star beca...

4½ stars ★★★★✭I loved, loved, loved this book! But then, I’m a big fan of a vintage western or a western-romance. My father, when he was eighty-three (and still sharp as a tack), taught me to appreciate them when I used to read to him the last three months of his life. I was amazed; he was so kno...

This is such a beautiful book and I loved the qualities the hero (Carter) and the heroine (Bailee) had in the book. Carter and Bailee had experienced hard times, but they did not let that harden them. Bailee had been disappointed in love and never expected to marry. Carter had lived through a tra...

I can't tell you how much I love this book. It's a special love story, with characters you will never find in another book. Carter McKoy has my complete and utter devotion. He may not attract all romance novel fans. He doesn't talk, not that he can't. He just doesn't. He's a recluse. He's a virgin....
