I really was drawn into the story of Dr. Billy, Hunter, and Derry. The romance was real. I liked the frustration Hunter deals with as far as Billy being a doctor. I like that Billy was a strong female that doesn't give up all she's worked for just because a man expects it.

A story full of comical excitement filled with a romance that quickly starts pulling at your heartstrings. Thank you for allowing me to read such a story filled with awe.

Very fun!! Really enjoyed the feisty heroine and her relationship with the love interest. I am a big fan of Deeanne Gist and her novels are always original. She is not a cookie-cutter author, every book is different and creative and always entertaining.

I really enjoyed the historical nature of this book and was extremely impressed at the depth of research the author did on the Chicago World's Fair, Hull House, the beginnings of playgrounds in urban areas, the juvenile justice system, the plight of the poor, the Texas Rangers, and more. I loved reading about those things and I learned a lot. I was, however, disappointed by many other parts of this novel, especially the lack of spiritual life in the characters. I thought I was reading a work of Christian fiction, but nothing in the novel itself met this expectation. While the main characters were good people and helped others, there was no indication in the book that they did this out of love for Jesus or desire to follow Him. The physical nature of the main characters' relationship and their thoughts about the other were also far too descriptive for my taste.

I was approved for this title the same day it was archived, so I was unable to read it
