Richard Larson has secretly loved Amanda for years, but it wasn't until she had nowhere else to turn that he had the courage to propose a marriage of convenience. Now as they make their way to Omaha, Nebraska for a new life, he wonders if she might ever come to return his feelings.

When Amanda married Richard Larson, it wasn’t for love. It was because he was rescuing her from a painful situation. When they married, they agreed to a marriage of convenience. She didn’t realize he secretly loved her until after the vows were exchanged. Now she doesn’t know how to act around him. And worse, a young man from her past is the one leading the wagon train to Omaha, and he has plans for them to run off to start a new life elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice romance

This was a good story with two very likeable characters who develop a great love out of a marriage of convenience. There is some graphic sex so be warned. The plot was interesting and even surprising. I enjoyed reading this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars I thought this was a nice read
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2021

Some of the parts I thought they wouldn't have talked about so easy back in those days. It has a nice plot, good characters, a nice meaningful story that touches your heart. There is a little of everything story, sorrow, hurt, misunderstanding, there is no danger but you get a few excitement and in all those years ago you have death of those who can't make the journey. Sad and heartbreaking but made the story more believable.

All in all it was a good read, there were a few places I skipped over that I thought didn't fit the timeline but all in all it was a nice read.

I enjoyed how the story was presented. Old time society views gave this story a realistic advantage. It was a great read.

The characters spent a good part of the book on the trail to Omaha. The main story deals with a couple that knew each other most of their lives as friends. Their marriage and the developments as they travel are great. A salvation marriage but what occurs?

3.0 out of 5 stars This Story Was Too Much About Not Much
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2022
Verified Purchase
Perhaps I read too many novels to be impressed with this one. Amanda has married Richard Larson because she has nowhere else to go. Richard found her in an alley, covered in newspapers and dirt. Amanda had been thrown out of her sister and brother-in-law's home because she claimed a boarder had raped her. The Larsons (parents) were leaving for Ohio in a wagon train; Richard planned to stay in New York City. However, when he rescued Amanda, he realized she needed to leave town. Thus, Richard and Amanda decided to go to Ohio too.

This story was too much about not much. The author filled in the bare spots of the plot with descriptions of the couple's lovemaking. The story was also repetitious. Very average.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I can't imagine what it must have been like to travel in a wagon train for months on end. The storyline and characters were awesome.

Richard found Amanda in an alley and took her home. They knew each other since childhood. When she told him what had happened to her he convinced her to marry him. They left his n the wagon train with his family for Omaha. She never told Richard that she was going to marry Joe, who lead the wagon train, and was surprised when she saw him.. Joe couldn't understand why she married Richard and Richard couldn't figure out why Joe wss giving him such a hard time. Amanda and Richard were keeping a secret from everyone. Does the secret ever come out? This us a good book. I think you'll enjoy it.

I like this sweet little story. The characters are likeable and the setting well described. The flow is good if a bit flat here and there. I prefer to see the villain get his just desserts but the ending is very nice and rounds everything up pretty well.
