Two strangers hiding their own life-long secrets. Can pretending to be married...be that hard?

The town of Greenlock shuns the daughter of the mortician. Day after day, Lauren begrudgingly has to take over her father's duties creating despondence in her tender heart.

Then a voice speaks from the morgue basement. A rough and tumble outlaw who's supposed to be dead is still alive! For some unfathomable reason, Lauren agrees to help him stay dead.

Elias was raised at Lennhurst Asylum. Since he had no family or future, he jumped a half-served prison sentence and enlisted in the recent Civil War to wield explosives. From running and surviving all his life, all Elias promised anyone was loyalty. Love was out of the question. When Lauren mentions her longing to see her mother and sister in Colorado, for loyalty’s sake, he offers to take her on the arduous wagon train journey. Of course, it wouldn't be proper not to be married while traveling together. Lauren and Elias, so vastly opposite; their charade should be easy and yet they never expected it to threaten their very lives.

Loyalty versus love. Can Love Cover a multitude of sin or destroy a future?

PG-All my romances are standalone, happy endings, and clean with a touch of pepper. :) JD

Interesting

Reviewed in the United States on 7 December 2018

Interesting tale of wagon trails and blossoming love. But, authors, please please please edit your work! So many editing mistakes such as unclosed quotation marks, a multitude of simple spelling errors (eg peak instead of peek) characters names changing back and forth (Ida Mae/Ida Bell), spelling of character's names (Chrystal/Crystal) etc. Maddening to readers, and shows little respect for them or your own work.

Unique, Clean Historical Fiction Romance

Reviewed in the United States on 13 October 2018

Verified Purchase

If Elias and Lauren had a tagline, it would probably be "desperate times call for desperate measures." Each has survived extreme difficulties and unusual family situations since childhood, but they have only barely survived. At the start of the book, they are frayed and hollow. Their plot to join a wagon train heading west is a desperate attempt on Lauren's part to make a better life for herself and reconnect with her mother and sister, and on Elias's part his way of repaying a debt he owes Lauren.

I have raved before about this author's creation of wonderful characters before, and I will do it again. Lauren and Elias start out as people I would want to steer clear of: Lauren is bitter, brash, desperate and empty, and I must admit that if I faced her as she is in the opening pages I would be at a loss as to how to interact with her. Elias is a wanted criminal, and I did not share Lauren's sympathies or hope towards him. As they travel on the wagon train, however, they begin to change. As they experience freedom, dependable friends, and prairie air they are also introduced to God in a way they had not known possible. While the Gospel is never clearly presented and I have a few niggling issues with the way theology is used and almost manipulated for certain situations, the foundation is there and is what Lauren and Elias need most.

Of course, as Lauren and Elias spend so much time together and learn each other's personalities in new ways, they fall in love. The romance and respect displayed is admirable in a situation where those around them already believe them married. It understandably takes the entire journey to break down the walls and fears created by their past experiences and self-preservation; I appreciate that their romance is not sudden, and that they must work together to figure out how things are going to work. Furthermore, Elias respects Lauren's mother and her requirement that he wait to marry Lauren once they reach the end of their trail. This proves an uncommon maturity and loyalty, despite the fact that he lacked examples of anything positive in his childhood.

Diversity is also a major component of this story. For example, Lauren is the daughter of a mortician, which is not exactly the most common back story. Elias grew up in an asylum without his parents. Lauren's parents are separated, which is rare for the time. In the wagon train alone there are Mormon sister wives, an African American couple transporting former slave families to new lives, and a family wanting to breed and raise dogs for money. None of these things are common in historical romance stories, though they certainly are realistic. These characters are well written, too; although some are not as fleshed out as others, such is the nature of a story. The reader learns some about each situation, but not everything. The representation adds rich support to the story.

Thought provoking

Reviewed in the United States on 19 August 2020

I usually don’t write reviews but this series was so thought provoking and the stories so different from the usual wagon train and historical romance. The people were so complex and their backgrounds so different. I read all 3 of the books in this series and I was drawn in by each one. If you want to read books about hardships and unbelievable backgrounds of each person that eventually turns into true love. I loved each book. I can’t pick a favorite. They are first I’ve read by this author and I will definitely seek out more of her books.

A different love story

Reviewed in the United States on 8 August 2020

Verified Purchase

I love the premise of Elias and Lauren’s story. An outlaw waking up in the morgue and the woman mortician who saves him.
Is a wasted life worth saving? Can a dead man rise above his circumstances to be the man he was always meant to be?

This is a tender tale of unconditional love and redemption. Two misfits who find that they fit perfectly together as they travel to the western territories.

All the characters had their own distinct personalities that added to the overall feeling of the story. I recommend it.

A very unique romance

Reviewed in the United States on 10 August 2020

Verified Purchase

After a strange and unique beginning to the story, there follows a wagon train romance. Two people with emotional problems from a troubled childhood find understanding and romance. I liked the story, I doubt there has ever been one like this! Although the story and characters were well written, there were a lot of errors that needed editing. I have read the other 2 books in this series, and there were very errors in them.
