Hannah Kramer, widowed for three years, had a 9-year-old son, Ryan. She struggled daily to keep herself financially sound. Sometimes it felt like a lost cause. Then when she started the Valley Dawn Bed and Breakfast, she hoped the income would help her maintain her farm and support her child. Her late husband, Peter, had made all the decisions for them and then, when he died with cancer, she was forced to try to do it all. Her biggest goal was to maintain her property as Peter had made her promise she would. The main thing she needed now was a part-time employee to do some outside work for her during the tourist season.

Quinn Anderson was in the area working for his company, Golden Oak, trying to procure properties for an anticipated development. Some British farmers wanted to relocate to this particular area of Saskatchewan to live and farm closely together. That meant he had to find eight properties to purchase for a fair price and without coercion. Not too bad a deal, unless you were totally against change as his new employer, Hannah was. He should tell her who he worked for but he was afraid she would reject his offer to help.

This is a great book with a solid plot and fabulous characters. There were sensual sparks throughout the story, but the sex was minimal. That gave more focus on the story itself and the in-depth study of the struggle the farmers were experiencing. There were a myriad of characters in this novel and it was as if I was among them. I was able to almost bond with them and feel their pain at the losses they suffered.

The storyline was so intriguing and I literally read through the night. It was a captivating story which I highly recommend to everyone, regardless of preferred genre. The happily-ever-after didn’t come without several bumps in the road; however, it was surprising how it finally concluded. There was an underlying suspense throughout the book which kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved it!
