review 1: I loved the thought of this story: How a girl falls in love, but an accident happens and she loses her love, and then she must make a decision of whether or not to marry another man who she doesn't love. All of that really fascinated me. I really liked how the siblings and friends helped each other out, reminds me of my family. But when I read the story I couldn't get into the story, then it took till the middle of the book to get to the story line, and the end felt rushed. With this, I still intend to read the next book and find out how Ingeborg's story continues.
review 2: I have a guilty pleasure. It's kind of embarrassing. I've shared it before and I'm sharing it again. Christian Prairie Romance. Yep, you can laugh. It's okay. A few years ago I found a seri... morees that I fell in love with. Red River of the North, by Lauraine Snelling. Have you read it? I love how strong and resourceful the women are. I almost feel like you could keep some of these books as a reference for when times get hard. ;)In all honesty, the characters became very real to me and I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Then I found out there was a continuing series Return to Red River of the North. I was so excited! I read all of them too! Imagine my surprise when Ms. Snelling began writing Daughters of Blessing, which would continue the story of the daughters of these strong women I so admire. I was over the moon! I hope I haven't lost any readership at this point. I probably have. I feel like I'm at an AA meeting confessing that I have a problem. Let it be known that I do enjoy other books as well. I love Jane Austen and Count of Monte Cristo is probably my favorite book. I also love, LOVE Little Women. And LM Montgomery books in general. I digress.A few months ago I received a book called An Untamed Heart, which is the prequel of the Red River of the North series. I was shocked! I couldn't believe there was another book. I sat down and began to read. I finished the book over a weekend. It was so much fun to read of one of the heroine's as a younger, single woman. Ingeborg is my favorite character and she grows so much throughout the series that I was anxious to see if this book would explain some of her abilities, talents, and natural inclinations. I was not disappointed. This book gives an interesting look into the life of Ingeborg and how she comes to be on a journey to America. Although, I will say I felt like there were a few holes in the storyline/plot. They were all pretty minor things, like the mentioning of a father who drank (in the other books) and in this one he stayed away from it, etc. If you haven't read the other books, read them first!!!! Then go back and read this one. I enjoyed it, but the original series (6 books) is still my favorite! By the way, there's a free kindle copy of the first book available over at Amazon for a few more weeks. In case you feel like jumping on this band wagon.I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review. less
