Candace Joyner gets to her destination as a mail-order bride, only to find that her intended owns a saloon with working girls upstairs. He also runs the town, where there’s no church or honest sheriff. Learning that he might eventually expect her to work for him, she hides under the tarp of a mountain man's wagon when he leaves town with his winter supplies. She's watched Jude Mason, and he appears to be kind, and most likely a Christian. She'd rather take her chances with him than with the dictatorial, unscrupulous saloon owner. But life on the mountain in the winter is tougher than she imagined.

Jude is stunned when he gets home to find a stowaway in his wagon. The beautiful woman seems to have no idea of how confined they’d be in his small cabin over the brutal winter. He hoped God’s promise not to tempt us more than we can bear applied to him, and right now it did. He’s so angry he’d like to throttle the woman.

These are delightful audios books. To have the courage to travel, to a unknown place, with a complete stranger. Unthinkable, she had a heart full of love, and when he said she could stay. The narration was great it brought you to the cabin and watched how love unfolded. Given audio for my voluntary review.

Great

What a fun story! This one is a friendship to love tale. Two lonely people find each other in a unique way and both are determined to guard their hearts against love. After spending the winter together in a mountain cabin, Jude takes Candace to a nearby town and after making sure she is settled, leaves her to fend for herself and he return to his lonely life. Both are ready to walk away from the love they feel. Ms. Hopkins once again weaves God and spiritual truths into the story with skill. It's always a joy to see her examples of how God can work in the lives of His children.

The narration is very good and lends a touch that makes the characters come alive.

I requested this audiobook from the author and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

When no one was at the train station to meet her, she went to find her intended. She overheard his plan and knew she needed help. Fortunately, she found it. Will she find happiness? It's quite a journey.

Great period novel of a simpler time that still showed how awful people have always been around. The main characters were awesome and loved the Lord enough to serve each other while they obeyed Him. I loved the descriptions and how the audio version narrator made the characters come to life with the different voices and personalities. Enjoyed listening!

Loved the story and innocence
