Bride Price

by Jane McBride Choate

The town of Mesa Pines, Colorado needs a school teacher. Town mayor Tate Donovan is charged with finding the right person. Norah Hathaway doesn't fit his idea of a schoolmarm. She's too young, too pretty, too inexperienced. Norah resolves to prove -- to Tate and to herself -- that she's up to the job. Tate's two young nieces work their way into her heart, as does their uncle. Slowly, the four of them fashion a family, not of blood, but of the heart. All of that threatens to unravel when Tate learns that Norah hasn't been honest about her background. Can their love survive?

[Rebecca Dean · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was OK is what 2 stars mean and I guess that is how I think of this book.

I remember a time in my life when I liked ready about another era and the struggles, etc. but I guess I am over that. Everything I have read lately has been contemporary and more interesting to me.

I purchased the second book in this series, "For Pete's Sake" first and ended up buying Bride Price to read it before the other book. Now that I have read both, Bride Price was the better book. Also, the cover design really bugged me. I don't know what they were going for, but it had nothing to do with the book, same with "For Pete's Sake." Wierd!

I liked this book okay, but the main guy annoyed me a bit.
