by Tracie Peterson
Sensible Arrangement, A (Lone Star Brides Book #1)
From the publisher:
Marty Dandridge Olson is ready to leave behind the pain of the past.
Answering an advertisement for a “Lone Star bride,” she leaves her Texas ranch and heads to Denver to marry a man she doesn’t know.Jake Wythe is the man waiting for her.
Burned by love, he marries now simply to satisfy the board of Morgan Bank, which believes a man of his standing in society should be wed. Together Jake and Marty agree they are done with romance and love and will make this nothing more than a marriage of convenience.
When missing money and a collapsing economy threaten his job, Jake’s yearning to return to ranching grows ever stronger, much to Marty’s dismay. But a fondness has grown between them, as well, further complicating matters.
What will happen when their relationship shifts in unexpected ways…
and dreams and secrets collide?
My Review:
I love Texas Historical Romance books! I enjoy gaining insight how our forefathers lived and how history could have played a role in the lives of normal people.
This book started off in Texas but ended more about Colorado, which I didn’t mind a bit.
I was reminded in the story why I liked historical fiction, it gives me a history lesson and insight to the past with a love story.
The love story in this book was missing a few details however. I am hoping the next book will answer a few questions that were left unanswered like the who was actually involved in the maid’s father’s death? Did they move back to Texas or stay in Colorado?
I hoping the author expounds more in the next book.
Overall, the book is not one that I would read aloud to my kids. It was for “mature eyes” only.
This book did not inspire me to grow spiritually but it did have a few “Sunday School lessons” sprinkled throughout the entire read.
Overall, I would recommend this book – especially for someone who is interested in Texas history, even just a bit.
Blessings to you! You are loved!
