Tessa is reckless but has good intentions. Ben is a pastor with a past that makes him angry. When Tessa shows up as Ben’s mail-order bride, they have to navigate their unlikely union.

Personal Review:

I do believe this is my favorite of the Hope House Brides series. I am just growing to love Ford’s writing and stories more and more. The characters are mature but not without faults. The plot is simple but never predictable. The love stories are realistic and truly clean. There is nothing I don’t love about Ford’s books.

In this installment, Tessa is impulsive but I love her heart. I think her character was really well done as the impulsive thing can be annoying sometimes.

Ben may be my favorite hero in the Hope House series yet. I can’t even put my finger on what I love about him; I think it’s because he was a steady presence but not shallow. There was more to his character than you originally expected. I also like that even though he was a preacher, he was never preach-y. He preached more through his character and actions than through his words. Loved it.

Oh, and the ending. My heart, the ending. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

Happy reading!
