I absolutely loved Johnston’s “The Cowboy” so when I saw an opportunity to review another book, I was happy to do so. This story was hard to get into, but recommend for fans of the Bitter Creek series, thank you for the ARC.

Loved Pippa and her father. I enjoyed their journey back to their American family

DNFed at 15%, it wasn't grabbing or keeping my interest.

I've read some of this series and loved it! My problem with this one, is Pippa is a teenager! She's so young, I honestly spent more time wondering how I'd react if it my daughter, than actually enjoying the romance. Though it's nice to have a revisit to characters I've loved in past books, this one was certainly a flop for me. If you want a good Bitter Creek novel, then I certainly suggest you pick up Sinful or The Cowboy. I'm not usually so worried about the age of the characters I read, but the fact that it kept getting drilled into your head by the author, just makes it hard to forget! At that age, she has no clue what her feelings mean, let alone how to maturely act on them. I think that it just didn't fit. You start out with a naive girl who gets knocked up, but then she's extremely mature all of a sudden? I hate to give a low rating to an author I like, but this book just did nothing for me. I'm going to go back and read earlier books instead.
