A sweet rated PG romance. But it should be noted that this romance has VERY SIGNIFICANT religious bias and focus, though it is not mentioned in its reviews. Believable historical accuracy and plotline. ( )

Let me say first that this author clearly did a lot of historical research and I really respected the historical details of this novel . Especially with things like appliances used. The author’s attention to setting details made it very comfortable to travel to the time of the novel.

My problems with the novel were mostly character related. I didn’t really like the characters nor could I really relate to them. The first scene we meet Danny in she is heroically delivering a baby. But after that she seems very young. Immature maybe. This was especially emphasized in the audio book version.

Big John finds Danny hot. But there doesn’t seem to be much else to him.

The book places a huge emphasis on the differences in size of Danny and Big John and I found that distracting. It was almost like they shouldn’t be together because he was big and she was petite. Never mind the fact that she is engaged or anything like that. ( )

Very interesting story that builds the relationship slowly. An excellent read. ( )
