From Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope.

MY THOUGHTS

This is my first read by this author.
I loved this story so much, it’s a Christian romance.


The twin three years olds stole the story, they were adorable. The two main characters each had important decisions to make. Decisions that if made incorrectly would affect their life in a negative way.

This is a story where at first you aren’t sure if the main characters are even going to get together. I think it has a nice faith element added to it as well. The characters seemed so realistic to me.

Forgiveness, compassion, putting others needs before your own and a sweet romance are all found in this charming read that I recommend.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.

A Love Discovered (The Heart of Cheyenne Book #1): (A Christian Historical Western Romance Marriage of Convenience Novel)

298 pages Bethany House publisher March 5, 2024 publish date

ABOUT THE BOOK

The heart finds its way when one least expects it–even in the most unforgiving frontiers.

Invited by a friend to trek west and help establish the newly formed town of Cheyenne, Edward Vogel is prepared to leave the haunting memories of his wife and son’s deaths behind him. The only problem is the corrupt new railroad town wants family men who can establish law and order, and desperation leads Edward to his friend Marybeth with a proposition of marriage.

After her father’s death leaves her with no means of support, Marybeth Kruger is in danger of having her two-year-old half sister taken from her. So when Edward Vogel, the widower husband of her late best friend, offers her a marriage of convenience to escape both their troubles, she has no choice but to accept.

Life in Cheyenne is fraught with danger, but will this arrangement be enough to save Edward and Marybeth from the pasts they tried to escape? Or will life with each other put them–and their hearts–in more danger than ever?

MY THOUGHTS

I’m always so excited to read a new Tracie Peterson book. This is the start of a new series (The Heart of Cheyenne).


Marybeth Kruger is convinced she can care for her stepsister after her father’s death, she has been left her father’s house but not much money. The church is not so sure. I’ll admit I didn’t like the minister who stuck his nose in her business. Her best friend is a widowed man, Edward Vogel. Their marriage is a marriage of convenience, she’ll get to keep her stepsister and he’ll become a family man.


They move to Cheyenne, it’s pretty lawless right now but this railroad town is looking to establish itself with law and order. Edward is a law enforcer and now a family man. This marriage of convenience will work for them both.


I enjoyed reading Marybeth’s thoughts on being a young mother to her sister, the only one she remembers as her mother died at her birth. We also get Edward’s thoughts on the danger in lawless Cheyenne as he tries to control the men who think they’re above the law.


Edward and Marybeth both want this marriage to stay strong and work out but are afraid to let their true feelings show for one reason or another.
Carrie, the young girl is so sweet, smart and polite. I enjoyed her character a lot.


You can see how the characters in Cheyenne are trying so hard to just raise a family and have a normal family life and so many obstacles in their way. The emotions as you’re reading the characters are experiencing become your own. I just wanted the best for these characters and wanted to see them succeed despite so many things against them. So realistic, I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more in this series.
