From the moment Gavin Blake set eyes on Emily Harris he knew she would never make it in the rugged high country where backbreaking work and constant hardship were commonplace. She would wilt there like a rose without water. He'd be sending her back to Boise before the first snows. He'd be willing to bet on it.She could say what she wanted. Emily Harris didn't belong in the hard life of the Blakes. Beautiful and refined, she was accustomed to the best life had to offer. Heaven only knew why she wanted to leave Boise to teach two young girls on a ranch miles from nowhere. He'd wager it had to do with a man. It always did when a beautiful woman was involved. Emily wanted to make some sort of mark on the world before marriage. She wanted to be more than just a society wife. Though she had plenty of opportunities back East, she had come to the Idaho high country looking to make a difference. Gavin’s resistance to her presence made her even more determined to prove herself. Perhaps changing the heart of one man might make the greatest difference of all.

"This was book #3 in a series by Robin Lee Hatcher "When Love Blooms" but was good read by itself also. The Blakes needed a governess/teacher for their two little girls and they were traveling in rough country. Emily sees the ad in paper for this job and wants her life to count for something so she decides this is job for her. Almost instantly she knows she has a feeling that something is there or "could be there" between she and Mr Blake. This bothers her immensely and all tru the book we see how she struggles with this feeling as she learns to love the little girls and the job of being a teacher. Good job Robin." — Paula-O (4 out of 5 stars)

" Nice book to listen to. This will make you cry and appreciate your family. "
" I got bored with the dating book so I picked up another Christian fiction quickie. A nice two-day read with a dreamy leading man . . . "
" Cute story! Robin Hatcher did a good job rewriting this story as a Christian book. I didn't notice the places she changed as I have in some of her other stories. "
" A light, yet, romantic read. It made me smile. "
" Beginning of this innocent 1800's pioneer story was great, but the book was very predictable and the ending was cheesy. "
" I felt When Love Blooms was all romance, nothing else. Was ok, but not my favorite. "
" I found this story to be very moving and some of the struggles Emily had to deal with resonated with me. "
" ok. kind of hard to wrap my head around the story line. "

" A nice easy love story that takes place in Idaho in the 1800's. It was a little bit predictable but nice. "
" This was an accidental re-read. I remembered most of the story, but made myself read it again, even when I realized I'd already read it. Nice easy reading. "
" I really liked this book. I loved the romance and the good virtues of the characters. Each held the marriage vows so high and as nothing to be compromised. I really enjoyed reading it and loved the warm fuzzy feelings as I read. I like happy books! "
" It was good. Not a page turner, but a good easy read. "
