One of my first thoughts about this book is that it is not a stand alone book. I think you must have read the first two books in order to follow the third. With that being said I read the first two books when they were first published and it has been a while so I really could have used a refresher. I got a little lost at times trying to remember details from the previous books. There is a handy little guide that gives a brief description of each character that was helpful though. I might have to go back and read all three in a row in order to make sure I got it all. There is alot going on in each book.
Naomi and the other three ladies in the story put an ad in the paper for husbands. They are landowners in what used to a be a mining town and is now a logging town thanks to the mine collapse and their attempt to redeem the town and their lives. They had no clue that when they got to Hope Falls they would be greeted by many men who came as a result of the ad. The first two books cover two of them women meeting their men and the third focuses on Naomi. The men were happy to work for food and shelter as long as the women were still available to woo, but with just one woman left the game changes. Michael has no idea what he has happened upon in Hope Falls. He simply came for a job and a fresh start from his wife's family. The story also continues with the story of Braden and Cora and their struggle to determine what their relationship will be after the accident.
I liked this book. The story wrapped up part of it, but also left so questions and more story that needed to be told. I feel like it set up for more books to be written in either this series or an additional series. I didn't feel like Braden and Cora's story had been completed and then there is more to tell about all those loggers wanting brides.
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
