Oh sweet romance, what a pleasure you are to indulge in.

Yes, I am emotionally passionate reader. I liked the romance of Julie Lessman and Laura Frantz, but a sweet romance such as this title makes me just as happy and satisfied. A compelling time period matched with equally as compelling characters and I found a sweet, enjoyable story that warmed my heart to read.

One thing I loved: Meghans spunk. I wish I had just a little dose of her spirit in dealing with difficult situations. Caleb is a complex (and frustrating) character, one that I wished would simply share what was wrong with his situation and why he hadnt enlisted in the war. But then, as I so often like to instruct my dad in these kind of novel situations: then you wouldnt have a story.

And what a fun story it is! Needles must be one *hot* place, because I felt the oven baking heat through the entire book. I enjoyed the glimpse into the life of a Harvey girl and the devastating calamity of an influenza outbreak.

Truly? A wonderful book to add to my collection. Its charming and sweet of course, but lively and spunky. The romance is a forbidden one that drives the characters all the further toward resolution until it seems quite impossible.

Heartwarming story telling from page one.

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the author and publisher for my copy to review.
