Description
Hannah Hoffman Clark is the spirited young wife of Denver City's only preacher, Frank Clark. After arriving by wagon to the howling wilderness of the unexplored west, they settled on land, built a home, and began what they thought would be a long and prosperous life together. After an accident leaves Frank without feeling in his legs, the dream of self-sufficiency suddenly slips away, but even more tragedy is on the horizon for Hannah.Once widowed, she struggles to cope with her loss, show more relying on those her husband had hired, especially Nathan Weaver, a no good gambler and drunkard. While the tenuous hold she has on her sanity crumbles, her connection with Nathan becomes something far greater than she could have ever imagined, but her family would be scandalized if she married such a man.One should never judge a book by its cover, and Nathan, although rough around the edges and crude, has his heart in the right place, and it belongs to Hannah...if only she could see it.This is the first book in The Colorado Brides Series, chronicling the lives of the Hoffman sisters and their adventures in finding love out west. show lessTags

If I recall right, I think I read this book back in 2014, and I just finished re-reading it now. My feelings about the book are just as positive now as it was the first time around. Hannah is fiery woman--very passionate about her life and her dreams for the future. Her husband, Frank, has spoiled her terribly, out of life and I think, out of a sense of duty to maintain as much of her Eastern lifestyle as he can afford.
Nathan Weaver is a man who has just as much fire as Hannah. But in Hannah's eyes, he's the wrong kind of man to be around because her Eastern parents would never accept him in her circle or theirs. When Frank dies unexpectedly, Hannah falls apart. Nathan is the only one who can get through to Hannah, despite her stubborn show more nature. (Takes one to know one, right?)
It's a lovely book and one that I'll continue to re-read whenever I'm in the mood. I'd also like to continue the series that Carre White wrote because I'm hoping that there is more to the story between Hannah and Nathan. show less
