Faith Johnson offers clean, happy romances for all ages. This story is a bit unsettling though because the hero places his pride and worth solely on the ability to provide for a bride on his gold claim. I wish he had come to and expressed the realization that there are more ways to express love, trust and success than through a preconceived plan of action. This is a short read and I can recommend Johnson's books for any age.
I really enjoyed this book. MAIL ORDER BRIDE, THE REJECTED BRIDE , CLEAN AND WHOLESOME WESTERN HISTORICAL ROMANCE, SPRING MAIL ORDER BRIDE BY FAITH JOHNSON. I recommend teens and up.
I always enjoy reading clean sweet stories of the old West days. This one was one of my favorites. I am enjoying all of the stories by Faith Johnson so far.
