— Linnette, 11/10/2013" 2.5 stars. This was an okay Christian Romance. I found it lacking in both the Christian and Romance department. I've read better. "

— Natalie, 7/12/2013" I absolutely loved this book. I now have a new favorite author. "
— Lindsey, 3/9/2013" A fan of Delia Parr I was eager to find there was a book of hers I hadn't read yet. However it left me wanting. While I believe it was well written, I felt as if the characters didn't really connect with each other, and I didn't really connect with them. "
— Erin, 10/14/2012" I am not usually a fan of books like these but this one was lent to me by a friend and it wasn't bad. It was quick and easy. A couple in the 1800s wakes up handcuffed to one another and end up....well, I won't spoil it. The book was mindless entertainment but it wasn't terrible. "
— Mandy, 9/28/2012" Good reading. Again, the ending was very quick - may one page!!! I would have liked to have an Epilog to read - you know, a little more of how they settled in to married life!! "
— Judy, 7/30/2012" I enjoyed reading this book, but I was disappointed that the ending stopped when it did- I was hoping for an epilogue, or a longer ending than what was written. Other than that, I thought it was good. "
— Highland-dreamer, 9/17/2011" Weak premise, slow moving plot, and altogether a disappointment. "
— Rebecca, 8/11/2011" Good reading. Again, the ending was very quick - may one page!!! I would have liked to have an Epilog to read - you know, a little more of how they settled in to married life!! "
