Kimberly T. (HeartsongChica) reviewed on 4/14/2013

I enjoyed this first book in the Land of Shining Water series. I learned about all kinds of things while reading this story: ice harvesting, German and Swedish customs, and life in Minnesota during the late 1800's. I found Merrill and Rurik to be compelling and likeable characters. The story moved quickly enough to keep my attention, but there was still plenty of time to watch Merrill and Rurik fall in love and grow together. I'm looking forward to the next story in the series.

With thanks to Bethany House Publishers, via NetGalley, for my review copy.
