Publisher Description
Acclaimed author Lori Wick is one of the best-selling Christian fiction authors in the world, with more than two and a half million copies of her books in print, including The Proposal (K1048). When Anne Gardiner slips off a ladder, she falls-quite literally-into the arms of a handsome stranger named Robert Weston.

"Excellent romantic read! Lori Wick's third shot at marriage of convenience was the best. I love Anne Gardiner's handling of the community around her and her eccentric father. I love Weston's tender care of his new wife, and his servant Mansfield's understanding of absolutely everything. I also love that all these names come straight out of Jane Austen books! Fun!"

" I'm having a hard time wanting to finish this book...very unrealistic...such simplistic characters...un-believable storyline...It actually would be a nice book for an eleven year old girl...I should have read it fourteen years ago... :) "

" This was the first Christian Romance I've read, and was surprised at how much I liked it. The story is set in the 19th century England. I would read more of LorI Wicks books. "

" Another pleasant story different from the first in the series but with some of the same characters. Easy, quick read. Sweet and tender story. "
— Tiffany, 7/28/2012 -
" Definately a Christian read. I guess I should have read the first one in the garden series because I didn't know who half the characters were and she introduced a ton at the beginning. It was good, some parts where better than others. The romance towards the end was good. Clean. "
— Kristen, 7/23/2012 -
