Description
After her father betrayed her trust by gambling away their Kentucky horse breeding business, Cadi Gruffyn salvaged the pregnant prize mare gifted for her 21st birthday. The loss of the horse farm displaces her aunt and uncle, so Cadi joins them on a wagon train to northern California where her brother established a ranch in the Diablo Valley. When her uncle dies, several men approach Cadi, insisting she needs a husband to help her finish out the trip. She refuses, afraid they only want to claim her valuable mare.
Carpenter Trynt Pembroke just wants a fresh start. A week before his wedding, he was betrayed by his fiancée who ran off with his brother. He’s looking to get as far away as he can and start a new business. As much as he doesn’t want the complication of a woman in his life, he keeps coming to the rescue of strong and determined Cadi, a woman who shares his cultural heritage. Can he convince her they are stronger together than on their own?

Cadi is a precious, young lady who takes a chance on her future following loss due to her father’s gambling addiction. Along the way she meets Trynt, who has experienced his own family betrayal. I love that these two took their time on the trail to California to get to know each other. Each ‘watched’ the other, without really meaning to, to find out what the other was like as a person, how they treated other people, did they adapt well, whether or not they offered help, accepted help and took advice. The same kind of things ‘dating’ couples look for today, except they were crossing the country in wagons.
I love that Cadi made purchases that would help herself and others on the trail. Trynt used his gift as a carpenter to help others. These two seemed to just fit together. Neither was looking for love, but time and again, they sought each other out when various situations would arise.
Ms. Carroll-Bradd takes us on a realistic journey along with the H/h/and the secondary characters through the joys and sadness that would accompany the difficult journey west. Ms. C-B writes her characters in a way that you want to cheer for them, mourn with them and hope for their success.

This is a well written book that was an absolute joy to read. It is a clean sweet romance that is full of adventure. If you like books about the Oregon Trail you will love this book.
Thank you Backlit PR and Linda Carroll-Bradd for the complimentary copy via NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.

I really liked this story, until the almost end. I liked how Cadi was an independent woman, and that her family supported that. I like that she stood up for herself and did the right thing, especially when no one else would. But Trynt believing something was going on between her and the other guy, especially when he knew she was a target... And the whole I love you because got a little mushy. All in all it was a fun, good read.
I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.
