Such a sweet story.

This book is part of the McKettrick series and features Clay McKettrick, the son of Jeb and Chloe McKettrick (Secondhand Bride). He moves from the family ranch in Arizona to the Town of Blue River, Texas, where he has taken the job as the local Marshall. He meets the rather poor local townfolk, including the widow and children of the prior Marshall. Part of his compensation for the job as Marshall, was the Marshall’s house, but he finds he cannot evict the lovely Dara Rose Nolan and her children.

This is a very sweet story of love that blooms between Clay and Dara Rose. The children are delightful. If you like to read a nice romance where the love grows between the main characters, you should read this book. There did seem to be some big conflicts, including a rival suitor, as well as a visit from a cousin that didn’t seem to go really go anywhere.

Received advance copy from NetGalley.com, courtesy of the publisher. Thank you.
