I had just finished the Shades trilogy and didn't expect to like this book so much. What a great surprise. When I finished, I actually missed the characters. So, I immediately re-read it. Loved it just as much the second time.  Can't wait for the sequel and have it on pre-order. :)

OMG...I just couldn't put this down and read it in a couple of hours!

What a terrific story, from passion to pain, healing to tears, betrayal, anger, forgiveness and love.  This book has it all, and I was in tears at the end!

If you want something that is just going to grab you and not let go until the end, this is it.

Not writing anymore as you will have to read it yourself!

Love, love, love this book!!! The author writes so descriptively, you feel like you are right there with the characters. I could hardly put it down. Can't wait to read more and find out more about the characters' stories. This book has a little bit of everything in it. Anyone would enjoy it and it sounds like there are more books to come. This is a must read and an excellent chance to familiarize yourself with a new and upcoming author.

I would give this book 10 stars if it was possible! I devoured this entire book today. Loved everything about it. The characters, the pacing, the plotline, the twists... I loved how the author made me root for a situation I would never typically root for in real life. She made me FEEL what the characters were feeling and going through. Awesome, awesome, book! I can't say it enough. I'll look for more of this author's work.

And, let me just add this, I have a backlist of reviews to post, but I just had to post this one ASAP!

Oh my heavens...I can not even put in words how amazing this book was..Theresa Marguerite Hewitt did an amazing job with this one. The story line was amazing. I instantly fell in love with the characters! It had me hooked from the very first page. I didn't want to put it down so I ended up reading it all in one setting...yeah it was that good! It had me on the edge of the seat waiting for what was going to happen next. I was lucky enough to get this book free, but would have been fine paying for this book! This is a must read book and I highly recomend it!

I have to confess that I was a little hesitant when I first got this book: Short-straw bride? It sounded a little silly. Boy, was I wrong!! I loved, loved, loved this book. Why? Well, let's see:

Great plot: set in late 1800s Texas, it is the story of Meredith, a young orphan whose path crosses her childhood crush, secluded Travis. Because of circumstances, they find their lives entangled and learn to know each other, but also grow into some social and spiritual changes that, at the end, make them better for it.

Great characters: the protagonists, as well as their friends and members of their respective families, are all well written characters that are entertaining and endearing. I found myself completely drawn to Meredith, this wonderful woman of God who is strong and yet vulnerable, and to Travis, a tough and yet compassionate cowboy who will steal your heart!

Wonderful humor: you will find yourself laughing at several of the comical scenes that are so well described in this book: -look for when Meredith is delirious and describes her feeling for Travis, thinking he is just a dream... hilarious!

Amazing romance: innocent, and yet passionate! The two develop a deep love for each other that is greatly paced and will make your heart beat a little faster. Witemeyer masterfully describes the deep feelings that our protagonists experience for each other in a way that will keep you hooked to the end!

**This is a wonderful, funny, uplifting, romantic novel with a Christian undertone. I read this book twice in a week!! And I cannot wait to grab more of this amazing author. My thanks to Bethany House Publishers for providing a free copy of this delightful book in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book was amazing! I can't rave enough about it. Simply put, I couldn't put it down! I can ensure you, you'll instantly fall in love with the characters. I know I did. A must read for all ages- especially any one with ties to the Outer Banx! It brings me right back to the beach house where my family and I vacation every year. The author has such a way with words you get lost in the scenery. The story line has tragedy, love, passion, betrayal, and so much more! I would highly recommend this book. I've found a new love for reading. If this book is any inkling of her future novels to come watch out Nicholas Sparks, M.Elaine Moore is taking over!

This book was such a surprise for me I LOVED IT from the first page to the last! I went through a range of emotions reading it and couldn't get enough of these characters. Raven and Jonah *sigh* what a delight to read and watch their story unfold. Definitely going to be reading more from this author. My favorite part (outside of the hot fighter male) was it was a complete story, no cliffhangers! And there will be a book about a secondary character that you learn to love in this book coming soon. Really great story, many heart melting moments.
