Summary:
Noelle Kramer has been blind for about five years because of
a horse and buggy accident. Living in Montana Territory during 1883 makes
it hard for a blind person to maneuver around, but Noelle is determined to remain
independent. When a runaway horse nearly plungs her into a freezing lake a
stranger rescues her. She then realizes it’s not a stranger at all, but Thad
McKaslin her ex-beau. She hasn’t seen Thad since he ditched her five years ago
and left Montana.
Thad came back to Montana after five years to find the love
of his life was blind. After losing
Noelle five years ago, Thad’s faith had been terribly shaken, and then finding she
went blind had him questioning his faith even more.
My Thoughts:
I have been trying to read more Christian fiction lately,
especially Christian Romance, so I acquired this e-book last week. I liked
it. I always loved romances set in the
old west and I like the character of Noelle. Steeple Hill created a town with
interesting characters that the reader is able to picture them with clarity.
Take Noelle’s aunt for instance, the way she spoke and her opinion on subjects
made the reader chuckle right along with Noelle.
I gave Homespun Bride only three stars and a grade of C,
because I felt something was lacking. I felt it needed more of a story line
than Thad trying to find his way back to God, and the only thing keeping Thad
and Noelle apart is Noelle’s belief that she wouldn’t make a good wife. She
felt being blind kept her from living a full life and that she had to give up
her dreams. The story line seems to need
more meat to it.
If you love Christian Romances, I recommend Homespun Bride
by Jillian Hart. It’s a sweet love story
and with some good Christian wisdom written into the story.
