This is a very earthy book and filled with some wonderful characters and one-liners. The author does a wonderful job of showing how Reed’s feelings change towards Hattie, and the same for Hattie. How on earth was this going to end satisfactorly? Well, there are many twists and turns in this book, but it all worked out in the end. She is independent and owns her own farm, yet craves a family and a husband. The hero (Reed) is 5 years younger and engaged to the local beauty.
There are so many things I loved about this book – the heroine (Hattie) was a “dried up old spinster of 29” with a nickname of “Horseface Hattie”. Handsome and dark farmhand Reed Tyler has always considered the hard-working Miss Hattie Colfax as a best friend and confidant, until widower Ancil Drayton comes to court Hattie, bringing Tyler’s true feelings to the surface. I usually don’t go in for books not set in the UK but this one caught my attention from another book review website where everyone gave it high ratings. It was listed as being Victorian historical, though I think it may be a bit later than Victorian as at the end there are motor cars in it…anyway, it was a departure for me because it’s set in the USA. This historical novel is somewhat of a departure for me from my usual reads.

You desperately want to read the next chapter but you have to cook dinner/answer the phone/etc etc…well this is me for the last 48 hours as I tried to find minutes in the day to read this book.
