I love love inspired books. This story was so wholesome and romantic. I really enjoyed reading it and would definitely recommend it.

Heidi Main is a fantastic writer. Her characters have depth and emotion like no other. Emma is a widow and mom to triplets. Carter was Emma’s husband’s best friend. He is always there for her. When Emma’s daughter needs very expensive meds, Carter steps up in a huge way. Even as Emma’s world keeps falling apart Carter is there. I love this story line!!

Marriage of convenience is my favorite trope, so I knew I’d like this book, and I really did! It’s a slow-burn romance, but since the marriage was supposed to be practical, not about love, it takes time. But it’s definitely worth it.

Emma is widowed with triplets and has a farm and store to run. Before her husband passed away, he asked his best friend, Carter, to help her. Carter has been supporting her and the kids, but when Emma needs better insurance for one of the kids, they agree to a marriage of convenience. Emma promises she’ll never love anyone but her late husband, and Carter doesn’t want to fall in love again. But as they spend more time together, things start to change. Emma feels guilty about falling for Carter, and Carter thinks it’s wrong to fall for his best friend’s wife. Can they both take the risk and turn this into something more?

I really enjoyed this story! It was sweet, and Carter was amazing from the start, especially as her husband. Their nervousness about their feelings felt real, and watching their chemistry grow was so nice. Such a heartwarming story!

I give this 4.5 stars, rounded to 5 stars!

I received a complimentary copy. This review reflects my honest opinion.

The Farmer’s Marriage Bargain is a very good inspirational romance. A throughly good marriage of convenience plot. I recommend this book.
