Everything about this story was too quick.  Lenore and her family are traveling via wagon to their new home.  It's the middle of winter...only God knows why they decided to travel at this time of the year.  During their travels they are beset by one disaster after another.  Now, with a broken wagon wheel, her stepmother suffering from the ague, and her father with a leg injury, it is up to Lenore to go get help.She gets lost in a snowstorm and is found and rescued by the hero, Heston.  Heston agrees to help her, but he needs something from her in return...a wife!  The next thing you know they are married and hours later they are in love...really?I've read tons of romance novels where the whole falling in love happens quickly, this is especially true of historical romances, but this was just too much.  I mean the two had no history together; they were complete strangers.  I was ok with how the marriage came about, but as far as the falling in love, IMO more time was necessary to make it believable.  At the very least an epilogue was needed to allow the reader to see how the couples' relationship was progressing at some point in the future.So, bottom line, this is an entertaining book.  It makes for ok reading.  However, with just a few more pages it could have been so much better.  As far as the Christian aspect of the story, it is not pervasive, by which I mean there is prayer and reference to God, but no bible passage quotes or the like.  BTW this is a clean romance, which is usually the case with Christian romance, although not always.  Happy reading!
