review 1: I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I am generally a fan of Ruth Ann Nordin but this one stands out to me. It may be the novelty of a blind hero (my first and hopefully not last read like this) but I was quite involved in the story. The sweet romance between hero and heroine was great - a wonderful building story with a great ending. The evil characters were quite terrible but made the romance stand out in comparison. It was also nice to catch up with Eliza (from Loving Eliza). I would definitely recommend this book. The only negative I can write about is how brief it was - I was left wanting so much more!
review 2: Bid for a Bride by Ruth Ann Nordin Book 2 in the South Dakota SeriesOne minute Lucy was enjoying her new marriage, although it... more was mostly to get out of Minnesota and away from her twin sister, the next things she is in South Dakota with Adam trying to auction her off to the highest bidder. Of course that was after he told her he already had a wife and children. Then a Pastor saved her from her fate and chased Adam off. He than asked a woman named Addy to take her in. She felt dirty and was sure she'd end up in jail for her crime.Brian Evans sat in front of the General store listening to all that was going on. After his mom died, his dad left him on the side of the road. He was blessed that John and Eliza took him in, a blind eight year old. Now at twenty, he had his own home and worked with Pa building furniture. For being blind, Brian could see much more than most people. Ma took him to Addy's and he met the new woman in town, people were saying she was a beauty . Later when the Pastor asked if he would marry her in case she was with child, Brian thought that sounded good. And Lucy agreed.Lucy really enjoyed her new life. She kept hoping she was not with Adam's child as she would prefer to have Brian's child. This is another great story. Ruth has put a Brian and John together, John mostly communicated with facial and hand motions as he was mute and that did not work with someone blind. They learn to communicate with sign language, John signing into Brian's hand. It is so touching. The story has it's twists and turns. Brian with a past secret about his parents and Lucy with a secret about her sister.**Mild sexual situations within marriage. less
