The Family Affair Series Book 4
The Farmer’s Widow, part of The Family Affair Series Book 4, has 12 bonus stories plus the lead story, The Farmer’s Widow. I have chosen to review The Farmer’s Widow. What a great deal at a cost of .99.
STORY-LINE:
The Farmer’s Widow will touch a soft place in the heart. A light sweet romance, where the reader finds Francesca living and working at an orphanage. She does the shopping in town for supplies where she meets Marsh on the street. He’s immediately smitten and courts her. Married in short order, they’re happy and in love until tragedy strikes and a bullet takes Marsh’s life. From that day, she fears guns.
Alone now, she moves in with her brother, Andrew, and his wife, Penny. Unwilling to allow them to continue paying her way, she decides to remarry. The only problem? There are no eligible men in town. Andrew travels to find a friend, Vern, who might marry Francesca; explaining her problem with guns to him in detail. Vern wanting a wife and family to fill his ranch house, agrees to marry her. These two hit it off immediately and all is right with the world until they make a grisly discovery. He has secrets he did not reveal. Will these secrets tear them apart? Can Francesca overcome her fear of guns? Will they marry or will she return to her brother? My romance book reviews follow.
CHARACTERS, PLOTTING, DEVELOPMENT:
A light sweet short romance which does not fail to entertain. With well-developed characters and pacing in line with the length of the story, I found this book easy to read and understand. I found Francesca’s fear of guns heart breaking as she lived in the west where guns were on every man’s hip. However, Vern had changed his ways and wanted a family and a loving wife. The crisis, when it came, was sad indeed. For Francesca demands place a great deal on Vern. But never fear, Harper gives this couple their happy ending along with a surprise for Vern.
