Another excellent book from Deeanne Gist. Joe must find a bride or lose the land he's worked so hard to cultivate for logging. Anna signs up to go to Seattle to become the cook for his men. According to the author, this accurately reflected the subterfuge of the man who put this scheme together in real life. There is no doubt Joe and Anna are meant for each other, but each of them must deal with issues from their past before they are able to come together. One of the unique things about this book is that, while the characters have faith in God, the author makes it clear that they deal with strong physical desires for the other character. However they deal with it according to God's plan and maintain their purity. It is such a refreshing balance between Romance novels where the marriage date is irrelevant to consummating the relationship and Christian historical fiction where you don't think either character will know what to do on their wedding night. Joe and Anna know and that anticipation is very fun to read. As much as I'd love to post this book to share it with others, it is staying on my permanent book shelf. You'll have to buy your own copy. ;-)
