This was a beautiful story – sweet, romantic, and a little sad all at the same time. Cassandra is a pregnant widow and is left to care for her home and her unborn child on her own. Grayson comes upon her and has no memory of who he is. He makes a deal with her to take care of her homestead if she allows him to stay there. As they spend more time together, they grow fonder of each other and there attraction grows. Before they can let these feelings develop into anything more, they both need answers to who Grayson is and why he is here. This was a sweet and tender story which pulled me in right from the beginning and I was entertained all the way through. This book is definitely worth the read, especially if you like westerns.

I loved the characters in this book: a pregnant widow and a wounded man with amnesia. They rescue each other and fall in love, but until Grayson’s memory returns their relationship is on hold. Add some suspense and danger to the story and it becomes an adventure you can’t put down!
I received an ARC from the author, but my review is voluntary. And I have become one of her new fans!
Well-Done, Sweet Western Romance
What is a well-done Western romance! While this certainly had some of the typical elements of a historical Western love story, it also had surprises and delightful tender moments. The first scene pulled me right in. Our hero is in a confused state. He doesn’t know who he is and has no memory of what happened before this precise moment. He knows there are a burning stagecoach and dead bodies, and he has blood on his hands. As a snowstorm comes in, his fight to survive brings him to a woman’s door, and he collapses on her porch. She takes him in somewhat begrudgingly, and that is when the fun begins. He suffers from amnesia for a long time, although bits and pieces start to come to him. He’s not even sure if he’s a good and decent man at the beginning or if he had something to do with the burning stagecoach and the dead. The pregnant widow who took him in is worried at first, but soon both of them begin to feel something towards each other, though they know they might not have a future depending on what his memory reveals as it comes back. This book is well written with believable and likable characters. Their fears and motivations are easily understood and help deliver the feels. And I thought the hero was particularly cute with the baby once she was born. I certainly wanted the couple to get together, even though at times it felt like the odds were stacked against them. If you enjoy Western romance, you may very well like this book.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
The author has penned a heart wrenching, yet heart warming story of loss, widowhood, a pregnancy, a stage coach robbery, murder, a stranger who has lost his memory, hard back breaking work and hardships, and romance. This is Cassandra and Grayson’s story and is definitely one that will pull at your heartstrings. You will have to read the story to see if the couple are able to reach a HEA. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
When he awoke, he was lying in the snow and four men beside him. But they were dead. He could not remember who he was or where he was. But he was freezing. He spotted smoke and headed for it as carefully as he could. It was a cabin, a young woman opened the front door and he passed out.
Cassandra Reynolds had lost her son and then her husband died. She was pregnant with a homestead to take care of by herself. She was alone. So when the man came to her door she was very hesitant to bring him into the house. But she did.
This was a wonderful story of hardship, a lot of hard work, and love. They worked together, through thick and thin, despite not knowing who he was. There are a few surprises, a birth, and planting the fields, among a few. I thought the author kept it interesting and entertaining. It flowed easily and the characters were great and very realistic. I know I highly recommend it. It was very satisfying.

Cassandra is widowed and pregnant but she is determined to save her homestead so when a strange man shows up and does not remember anything about himself but has offered to help her that is all she needs. There is some mystery and suspense along with romance with this well written story. Loved the story plot and the characters.
A mystery and romance to enjoy.
Being a widow and pregnant would be hard but add in a homestead that needs taking care of that would bring true fear into the heart. That is what Cassandra faced and then if that was not enough an injured man shows up at your homestead. Grayson does not know who he is and with only a letter in his pocket to give him any clue. That is the set up for this splendid piece. It is not only clean it is also believable with outstanding characters. This is a book that is well worth reading if you like historical western. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
