**** 4 stars
I read and loved Warner's Blood Rose trilogy a few years ago, so I was happy to see she's started a new series. This was a sweet, charming and easy read in a similar vein. Probably all pretty formulaic but if you like the formula, who's to say that's bad?
Just a fun and pleasant book to read. It was a quick read and I was at an all-morning debate competition for my son, so this book was the perfect companion. Easy to pick up, easy to set down without losing the thread.
I was trying to figure out why this genre is so appealing to me. I think it's because these books are like The Little House on the Prairie for grown-ups. That romance of frontier life is really compelling, I guess and it appeals for the (perceived) simplicity of life.
