ABOUT THE BOOK
Texas, 1865 Willow Madison and her friends, Copper and Audrey taught school in neighboring Texas communities until the Yankees rode into the area and burned them out. In the midst of fear and chaos, survivors banded together to fight for what remained of their homes. Then word reached the people that the terrible war was over.
Now penniless but still hopeful, Willow vows she will take care of her friends, Copper and Audrey, and her ailing uncle, in Thunder Ridge, Texas, even if it means having to marry wealthy Silas Sterling, a man thirty years her senior. But standing in her way is handsome sawmill owner Tucker Gray, with his enticing eyes and infuriating headstrong manner—the man Willow cannot get out of her head . . . or her heart. Even though her friends beg her not to give up her dream of happiness, Willow is determined to do the right thing for those who are dearest to her. But which path does God want Willow to take: a life of duty and commitment . . . or a life of everlasting love?

This book was late to me, I got it in the mail yesterday. And finished it as well. :) So you might say it was a quick read!
For me it was interesting, but pretty predictable. You know what's going to happen in the end with a few small twists thrown in. I found the fact that a town continued to live in an area called Thunder Ridge (all thunder and lightning and no rain) to be slightly improbable, but interestingly enough the author addresses that in the book. The main character, Willow, is not from the area and she asks why the people haven't moved on. The answer is that some did while others were just too stubborn - one of the main themes in the book being just how stubborn some people are!
Overall a fun read, but I liked this one better - yes, I finally read That's (Not Exactly) Amore. It's the third in a series, but a fun book where you didn't for sure know which guy she'd end up with!

I got the book today-- thanks! :) Can't wait to read it, though I have a considerable back-log of half-read books right now too. So glad you liked it so much and that's awesome that the author wrote you back! Very cool. A
