Jody Hedlund's lastest story is so wonderful that I don't know where to begin!
The book had a beautiful pace to it: When it was a bit slow, you, the reader, could feel the peace of the characters. Other times, one event quickly followed another, and your heart was pounding with those of the main characters, Greta and Wyatt.
The characters were relatable; I could understand both of the main characters while I simultaneously adored their little girl, Astrid.
Every part had a purpose. A subplot may seem interesting or funny, but it would resurface in the future as something even more important.
Jody Hedlund's similes, ones I had never heard before, were creative and original. They made the pictures and events even more vivid and bright in my mind's eye.
The points of view switched at just the right time. When I wanted to hear more from Wyatt's point of view, there was more from his perspective. When I wanted to hear more from Greta's point of view, there was more from her perspective.
I especially enjoyed the main character, Wyatt. He was noble, relatable, kind, just, and real. Not a perfect Prince of your dreams, but not a bad boy, either. A godly man.
The only drawback would be how much physical touch and attraction there is. I liked it at first, but over time, it grew overwhelming. I didn't mind kissing, but there was too much longing for and thinking about the marriage bed.
All the same, I look forward to the next Colorado Cowboys novel!
