Set in the 1800's, during a simpler time of homesteading, hard work, and at a time when if you're not married by the time you reach 20, you're considered an old maid or hopeless bachelor.So is the case of Rachel Oliver. She's not been able to catch the eye of anyone in town, and quite frankly, none of them match up to her standards. Except one man that she just so happens to have had a crush on for twelve years. And, it doesn't help that her mother keeps trying to push her towards continuing her schooling, even though she's a tutor to some of the kids in town with their reading and writing, and teaches occasionally. Continuing her education is her mother's dream, not hers.Dex Stanton had to give up going to school when he was twelve after the untimely passing of his father to keep the family farm in business. But that meant his reading and writing fell behind, making him a poor reader and writer. He'd always found Miss Oliver to be a beauty, but why the heck would she want an illiterate farmer as a husband?When he decides to get some help with his reading and writing from Rachel, they teach each other that love knows no bounds.This was a nice romantic novella that anyone could enjoy. Look forward to the next book in this series.5 stars!
