Book Description
After four long years away, Esther Stanton returns to the prairie to care for her sister Charlotte’s family following the birth of her second child. The month-long stay seems much too short as Esther becomes acquainted with her brother-in-law’s new ranch hand, Stewart Brant. When obligations compel her to return to Cincinnati and to the man her overbearing mother intends her to wed, she loses hope of ever knowing true happiness.
Still reeling from a hurtful relationship, Stew is reluctant to open his heart to Esther. But when he faces a life-threatening injury with Esther tending him, their bond deepens. Heartbroken when she leaves, he sets out after her and inadvertently stumbles across an illegal slave-trade operation, the knowledge of which puts him, as well as Esther and her family, in jeopardy.
My thoughts:
This entire series has been a favorite of mine with each and every novel surpassing the one before it. I have been waiting for this one and boy was the wait worthwhile. Ms. Roemer has a knack for crafting characters who I truly care for, I celebrate their happiness and share in their sorrows.
This storyline was captivating because I didn't expect some of the plot twists so that added to my overall enjoyment of this book.
Watching Esther grow and mature has been wonderful and I was so glad to reconnect with not only her but with Charlotte and Chad, too. Meeting Stew was a pure delight, he is a selfless, wonderful character who deserved all the good life had to offer him. I have loved this series and will think of the characters fondly from time to time, but I'm excited to find out what the author has in store for her readers in the future. The Prairie Sky series has been such a joy to read and I think fans of Historical and Christian fiction will enjoy the three novels as much as I have.
I received a complimentary but was under no obligation to write a review. All opinions are my own.
