Ruth Ann Nordin

This book wasn't my cup of tea. I liked another book by this author, so I was hoping that I would like this one, too. Oh well.

The heroine was 14 when her parents died and she was forced into prostitution. Years later, she leaves that life behind and tries to start over in a small town in South Dakota. The hero has been mute his entire life. He has been treated like he is stupid and no one ever taught him to read or write. His dad did teach him carpentry, so he builds furniture and repairs things around town.

Altogether, this book was kind of sweet, but mostly bland. Both main characters were alright, but immature. The chemistry between them was rushed and, while I did believe that they cared for each other, it felt shallow. Some of the plot didn't work for me either.… (altro)

I finished this book the other night and failed to realize that there is a Book one. This is not it.
Back to the Basic.

So this story is about Penelope who lives in the prairie all by herself in the 1800s after her husband died. She found and fell in love with Cole who is a time traveler. She basically found him in a state where she nursed him back to health.

I didn’t care too much for Penelope because she just sounded desperately lonely. I want to know more about the time traveler guy because his past sounded bad, yet interesting. Then there was the ending where Cole was once so afraid of someone chasing him and he ended up facing this person without fear... And end up back to where he wanted to be, giving up the one thing that he kept saying will kill him if he's caught with it.

Uh yeah. The feeling was so over-exaggerated haha. Then there’s the Sioux and how Penelope did not understand how to understand the language when she spoke to “Martha” but she could communicate with Martha’s father at the end.

I think I’ll need more convincing by reading the other books in the series.
