The Choice by Anne Greene
This book starts with a few quotes from the Bible, dedication page and then the story begins.
1850's We find Felicity in Ft. Laramie and she was on her way to Oregon to claim land along with her father. He's passed away and his best friend is looking after her til she comes up with a plan to get a spouse to claim all 640 acres of land.
She posts an ad in the window and gets a stampede of men and then she lists some things she requires: must be Christian, can't drink, etc
She had a liking to Ben and at last he's joined the line-he had lost everything but clothes he wore-he found work in town before the wagon train was to leave. His hopes are to preach to the miners in CA at the gold rush. He also wants to pay his mothers medical debts.
Her father insisted she marry and get her name changed-mystery surrounding that ....
Life on the trail is hard and she watches him and falls more in love with the things he does for them along the way.
After getting married she had to confess she only wanted him in name and not in bed. He's promised to win her over and hopes to persuade her to come with him, for a little while before they head to claim the land.
Plans change as she realizes what she's got with Ben... Excerpt from Hatteras is included at the end.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
