About the book:


     Journey into the Shenandoah Valley of 1816 where… with nothing left, Lily may be forced into a loveless marriage.


     Captain McAlister, “Mac” Albright has purchased land in the Shenandoah Valley. However, the land belongs to Lillyanna Laughlin—or so she erroneously things. Mac sets her straight about current laws, and despite a poor start, the two are becoming friends.


     Then, while Mac is away on business, Lily is faced with the impossible decision of marrying a man twice her age or she and her brothers becoming homeless, as her late father gambled away their home and acreage. But with debts being called in, will Lily be forced to choose a loveless marriage just when she is discovering what true love could be? What can she possibly do? Will Mac return in time to spare Lily a lifetime of unhappiness?


My review:


     This is a delightful historical romance.


     I love the main characters. Lily’s family are definitely easy to picture and connect with. Mac arrives with one friend who is faithful and easy to smile at his phrases and attitudes.


     The storyline is easy to follow. I had no problem picking up on who was the danger to Lily and Mac’s relationship. Yet at the same time it was fun to see how the story developed and how individuals and relationships grew.


     I am giving this book a rating of 5 stars. I do recommend it.
