I love this book! Deeanne Gist is a master at taking her reader to the time and place. I felt like I was really in early Colonial America. And I love the way she weaves in historical insights of daily life. I learned so much (like how they washed dishes). It was one of the most enjoyable history...

A fun story line and a clean romance were not enough for me in this historical romance. I just couldn't get past the author's writing style: fingers became appendages, spitting became ejecting, the formatting of the dialogue grated on my nerves, and the whole thing felt too melodramatic for me....

    If you are looking for a great clean-romatic historical, this is the book for you. Hope she does a sequel for Josh.

    Kudos to the historical elements in the story line. You could tell that the author actually took the time to research the subject matter. Some of the romantic scenes were a bit racy (for Christian fiction, that is), but overall, it was a decent read.

Blah. Too bad, I wanted to love this one.

    I love all the historical stuff she put into this! some of it a bit far out but I like this new look at early colonial life.

    great story. not what I would usually pick out, but I enjoyed the story. Early colonial setting, frontier in America, purchased bride... but she wasn't supposed to be "up for sale". great plot. I could see this becoming a movie.
