[Leane]

It was nice to hear about how Daniel and Anna got together.
We also have usually only heard things from Daniel's point of view. I enjoyed Anna's strong personality as well.

[Karen ♐]

I loved this book. Yes, I agree. It was great to get Anna’s POV. I always wondered how these opposites ended up together.

[Jonetta]

I’m a little behind but enjoying this one.

[Karen ♐]

The narrator does Daniel's voice so well.

[Jonetta]

Finally finished! Loved it.

I really appreciated getting to know Anna. She’s been in the background so far and didn’t seem to have much development. This changed my opinion of her completely.

The story lives up to my expectation of what it should have been. There’s would have had to be a difficult courtship given his traditional views and her vocation. I loved how she stood up to him and how he kept trying to meet her needs.

I agree. Between the description of Daniel and the voice, he really comes to life.
