My Review
A Steadfast Heart
by Lacy Williams, Martha Hutchens
Book 2 in the Wind River Mail-Order Brides series
Rating: 4/5
Who doesn’t enjoy a good Mail-Order Bride story? I haven’t read one in a minute but I was excited to jump into this story. I have not read the first book in the series yet but after finishing this one, I quickly purchased the rest of the series. The characters make you laugh, cry, swoon and shout at them to do what you know they should do! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about this time in history and all that entailed. Historical romance is something I usually have to be in the mood for to read and this book seriously hits the spot. I am eager to learn more about this precious family and see what happens as they struggle to keep their family land.
Highly recommend for those who enjoy clean, historical romance with just enough action and humor to make you keep reading to the end!
My thanks to the author and publisher for providing me with an ARC of the book. All opinions expressed here are entirely my own. No positive review was expected and no compensation received.
