Never read anything like this. I really found myself engaged in the characters and their loving relationships.
This book was different from any I had ever read. Once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. I really found myself pulled into the loving relationships between the sister wives and their husbands. I could even visualize the love behind each discipline spanking that occurred.

The trials and errors of Rosa as she tries her best to be the "Bishop's Wife" and being accepted into that role within the community.

Luke's Rogue Bride (Love Multiplied Book 4) CONSENT AND CHOICE. THE WOMEN IN GREEN VALLEY ARE NOT OPPRESSED.
From Green Valley, Utah to Fillmore, Georgia, where both areas have polygamous communities, but that is where the similarities end. Fillmore, Georgia was ruled by a Prophet who was power hunger, used his control of the people, abused the women, beating them in the name of God, and even going as far as raping young women, minor girls. Green Valley is a collective unit of people with rules and guidelines, a belief in domestic discipline within a home, but allowed freedoms of the people. In Green Valley, a woman would dream of her husband, take that to the Bishop, where he would pray, and then approach the intended groom.
Carolyn Atwood lived hell on earth in Fillmore and nearly died at the Prophet's hands before her mothers, father, and little sister left Georgia and moved to Green Valley. Carolyn overcompensates to deal with issues and comes off harshly. Her high school nemesis was none other than Rosa, who marries the soon to be Bishop, Lucas Miller.
From hearing her father on the phone and realizing he plans to move his family back to Fillmore, she knows the only safe way not to return will be to marry. Can she convince the present Bishop Miller that God has sent Lucas's vision as her future husband? How will Lucas react, knowing the history between Rosa and Carolyn? “Fake it till you make it; that was her motto.”
The story is full of twists and turns, secrets, dealing with past abuse, and trying to move on in life. What happens when lies come out? Will Lucas turn his back on Carolyn? Can the Prophet continue to torment the people of Fillmore even from jail? The story has multiple scenes that involve Christian Domestic Discipline in a loving relationship; it is always safe, sane, and consensual. There are no sex scenes; intimacy is only implied.
