What is this book about?

When Enoch Balfour’s eldest brother tragically dies, the weight of family responsibility falls on his shoulders. Now this Montana rancher must train for his role as the next Duke of Clarence—and marry the mail-order bride his brother sent for. Hardened by loss, Enoch has no intention of opening his heart to a stranger, but duty demands he produce an heir.

Mandie Beaumont is a desperate young widow fleeing the sinister advances of her brother-in-law. After arriving in the Montana Territory to marry a man she’s never met, an accident leaves her robbed of her recent memories—memories that conceal a devastating secret. When she discovers she’s carrying a child conceived through betrayal and violence, Mandie fears rejection and ruin. Yet, in Enoch, she finds an unexpected protector whose fierce gentleness makes her long to trust again.

Though Mandie’s charm and resilience begin to thaw Enoch’s guarded heart, he struggles with his fear of loss. When Mandie’s past resurfaces, Enoch must risk everything to save her. If he fails, Mandie will be torn from him—and the love they’ve begun to embrace could be lost forever.

My review:

Tragic circumstances bring Enoch and Mandie together in the wilds of Montana and a sweet romance comes out of it. Mandie was resilient and kind. I loved how she brought peace to Enoch’s life. He was strong and responsible and I loved how he not only protected Mandie, but also became her champion. This story had violence and loss that were handled in a respectful way. I loved the Balfour family and cannot wait to read James story in book two.

What I enjoyed most about this book:

The sweet romance between Mandie and Enoch.

What I didn’t like about this book:

Nothing

Would I recommend this book to others? Definitely. Great characters, sweet romance, strong family dynamics. This is the first book in the series.

Note: I received this book complimentary from the author. I was not required to give a positive review. All of the opinions I have expressed here are honest and my own.
