Lovely stores that build on each other. I am on book 10 and these books are clean, cute, funny wonderful reads.
I was disappointed in what I felt was too much “heated romance.” Sure it was loving and fit for a marriage, but I didn’t need to read it. It almost felt on purpose to get a certain type of audience. I didn’t read them entirely, because of the above. I also felt that there was never anything really “inspirational.” They were not negative entirely, in fact I appreciated the way unrighteous church leaders were handled, but I never felt like anyone really was “healed” of any emotional wounds.
Love the continuation of the character and the sometimes tough look inside of ourselves to understand where our beliefs come from
This series is uplifting & reminds me there are often 2nd chances. Couldn’t wait to see what happens next.
while I thoroughly enjoyed the story it was more of an historical fiction than Christian historical fiction.
I got it from a Christian fiction list. A sprinkling of spiritual input rather than a core of the story.
I loved how all 5 books intertwined all of the girls and they each ended up happy in Cloverleaf
Fun and quick cute romances! I easily finished the whole collection within a couple of days. There were a few typos throughout, but that is my only real critique!
The 4 book series is an amazing read. I am almost finished with the last book. Wish there were more. Love this writer, easy to read, can’t put down books. Also very clean reading.
Incredible stories of women who left all they knew to marry men out West. Their hardships and triumphs stay with you long after you finish reading about them. Inspiring!
Wholesome, naive, interesting to see each person interact with wach other
I really enjoyed these books….
I haven’t finished the series yet – I am on book 3 and am thoroughly enjoying them. They are easy to read with a good message of the courage and faith that was required to build our great country.
Good series. Not all the same, so it kept your interest.
A surprisingly original set of books.
I can’t believe how absorbed I i was in this series. A big letdown when i finished. I definitely will buy the next one!
Nice inspirational story, also shows women in old west had to be strong.
