Sixty Acres and a Bride is a stories I as a reader finds great pleasure is spending time with. And at the close of such a novel, Im a bit sorry to see it come to an end.

I adore Rosa. She is so earnest and tries so hard, but so often it backfires on her. It was comical and yet I had to feel a bit sad for her, trying to learn to live in a foreign culture from her native Mexico. Shes a character one cant help but love, because her yearnings and love for life is so infectious. I wanted to join the pages of the novel and become her closest friend.

Weston is the epitome of the cowboy hero and I loved his pure heart though he wasnt without his faults! The depth of his backstory has wreaked havoc on his present and I wanted to see him free of those bonds. And ah the romance certainly helped with that!

The story explores the beloved plot of Ruth and Boaz in my favorite era western expansion on the Texas plains.

Its written in such a way that I felt I truly grew to know and love these characters. Words paint vivid pictures and I loved every single second. This novel is a treasure, one I dont plan to part with and one Ill peruse again for that lovely sigh of contentment at the end.

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers through CFBA for my copy to review.
