I absolutely loved this book. It's so refreshing to just read something simple and down to earth. I'm tired of picking up books in the historical section where the main heroines have such a feminist attitude and the main characters flaunt 21st century viewpoints and the women always complaining about marriage being "slavery" and rewriting history to where all the heroes aren't dominant but instead weak and want their wives being "equal partners" and giving into their demands and having to change their "mysognistic" viewpoints and come to term with their "issues" before they can fall in love. Give me a break already. For those who complain about it having a "subservient" message the Bible isn't whatever you want it to be. You can't just ignore what the Bible says or interpret it however you see fit. The Bible is patriarchal as was our culture for many many centuries and that is not a bad thing. Women have to submit to their husbands before husbands can make a safe investment and truly accept responsibility for their wives. Women's empowerment and women's abandonment by men go hand in hand. Somehow we think feminism, gay marriage, divorce and other socially approved lifestyles all fit right into the Bible- well they don't. All the female characters in this book were so good-hearted and were grateful and happy about their place in life. They enjoyed serving their husbands and families. Such a good book like this is rare indeed today!Millie needed a home and George needed a wife for his children. He provided the home and support and she took care of the kids  and house as her own. He never treated her bad in this book but they just have a few problems to work out if there is to be a happily ever after. I loved that the female character has no problems acknowledging that she needs to obey her husband and he acknowledges that he is to provide for them and care for them. There is NOTHING wrong with that and much thanks to the author for giving us traditional women a nice clean romance with real and true traditonal values.This was a wonderful book and I will be looking for more from this author in the future, much thanks for not giving into the politically correct madness in society!
