ight hearted read that was not overly romantic or historical in nature. I would tag it as Christian fiction. I liked it for the heroine who was NOT a whiny, overbearing and/or weak female that seems to be so common in this genre. Instead, this heroine may have been too perfect. The hero was larger than life and the author reminded us that over and over in her descriptions of him.
The story line was unique and a bit different than usual. Although there was action thrown in, it was very short lived. I found myself getting bored a few times and forcing myself to keep reading. Not great but not awful, either.

The opening of Prize of My Heart had a pull for me as a reader. Characters were immediately introduced and I was instantly wondering how these three main characters would play together upon the page.
There is a sweet chemistry between Lorena and Brogan. And Drew is such a sweetheart, the little boy you can see delving into the fresh cut strawberries, but giving a smile to melt your heart. He made me smile all through the novel.
The concept of Brogan searching for his son and finding him in this little boy who thinks he already has a family is one that definitely kept me turning pages. Its a great concept for a historical novel.
I thought a bit more of the book than I liked was too telling and took me out of the story, left me feeling distanced from the characters. The dialogue tended to clump together and give more information than I felt was necessary at times. I read the novel quickly and caught the strong undertones and overall themes and layers, but it didnt really invite me in as strongly as I would have liked.
The ending is totally sweet. Loved the epilogue. And of course, I love a happy ending, and this one is perfect.
This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers for my copy to review.
