This was a fun historical romance read.
Norah is fighting to keep her family land, but a single woman can’t manage it alone. She agrees to a marriage of convenience in order to keep her land. When she finds a beaten and bloodied man in her field, her life will never be the same again.
I really liked the chemistry between Quincy and Norah. They just had a sweetness about them that immediately endeared them to me. Quincy is the kind of hero you want to see with a happy ending – he’s strong, tough, but has a soft side to him that Norah, and those in need, brings out in him.
I didn’t like how long he held on to his secret, before telling Norah what he did. He had ample opportunity – even with another character prodding him to speak the truth. It was frustrating at times, but I could still see where he was coming from.
A light faith thread makes Quincy’s story of restitution all the more sweet.
There’s a little bit of everything in this rags to riches romance that makes it a fun, light read.
There is mention of prostitution, child neglect, gambling, and boxing.
