I
thoroughly enjoyed this heart warming novella. I was surprised at how
well the characters were developed. I found both the lead characters
to be engaging. I could identify with Phoebe, soured on men because
of a very bad experience. Her cynical attitude was justified.
Trusting a man again was something she never planned to do again. And
I could sympathize with Spencer. Owning and managing a business
produces pressure and I was impressed Spencer could maintain an
gentle attitude most of the time.
I
like Ardoin's writing style. She includes descriptions that flow well
within the plot. There is also a little humor and some snappy
dialogue. My favorite part of the novella was the good spiritual
lesson about listening to God for direction whether it be in business
or romance.
I
felt there were some loose ends not entirely tired up at the end. But
that's common with novellas. While historical fiction is not my
favorite genre, I enjoyed this novella and will be looking for the
first full length novel in the Widow's Might series coming out spring
of 2020.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
