Beneath a Prairie Moon

I read the sample for this book and I was hooked. The story contains such fun and loveable characters. It is funny, romantic, sad in parts and even contains some action and crime. It was very hard to put down because it was such an enjoyable read and the story plot contained enough unexpected twists and turns that I just didn't know what was going to happen next. I enjoyed the historical elemants as well as the lessons of gentlemanly behaviour. I highly recommend this novel and personally I will be reading more of this author's books.

It was bad enough that Abigail Grant has been forced from her rightful position in society due to her father's criminal actions. \\r\\n\\r\\nShe's down to her last chance when Mrs Bingham sends Abigail to Spiveyville to turn sixteen men into suitable grooms. And Mrs Bingham is coming to supervise. Unfortunately, the sixteen wife-seeking bachelors of Spiveyville are not well pleased when their brides don't arrive-only two women who aren't part of the bridal pool. \\r\\n\\r\\nIt's a setup ripe with opportunities for humour, and Kim Vogel Sawyer does not disappoint. The humour is more understated than obvious, but it's there. There is also a little romance, a little suspense, and a little Christian preaching (although it's not preachy. It's just Mrs Bingham sometimes can't help herself). \\r\\n\\r\\nMrs Bingham was a pleasant surprise as a character. My first impression of her was a benevolent dictator with a backbone of steel. She has an element of steel-I expect widowed women needed a healthy sense of their own abilities to run a successful business. But I was impressed by her compassion for the girls she matched, and her genuine desire to make good marriages for her clients. \\r\\n\\r\\nOverall, I enjoyed Under a Prairie Moon. I'm sure fans of western romances, especially mail order bride stories, will enjoy it. Thanks to WaterBrook Press and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.

Right from the start the story-line was engaging and compelling, with a bit of humour, drama and romance. \\r\\nAll the characters were interesting, however, the relationship between the two main characters reminded me of the relationship shared between Ruth and Naomi in the bible, they are very similar, which makes for a very heartwarming story. The Author has once again included some wonderful biblical truths that make for a memorable story, which I recommend.
