Mallory and Will's story kept me engrossed! Themes of acceptance and forgiveness as well as consequences to lies and unwise choices are weaved into this entertainingly sweet story.
You get to experience alot of Will's duties and struggles as the fort commander along with Mallory's struggles to find where she fits in and figure out her future, and if it could include Will. Their love story is a slow-building journey that has several trials to work through to find their happily-ever-after.
I enjoyed going back in time and seeing history come to life through their story - although the judgement and prejudice of the time and "society" still makes me struggle and hurt at times.
If you like sweet (clean) stories that have little nuggets of wisdom written into the pages, and love a mail order bride story that has a few twists, this is a book for you!
