Book Review : A Bargain Struck by Liz Harris

Reviewer: Terry

a bargain struckThis book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fun romantic read set in the early 1800’s in Wyoming during the late homesteader days. The main character meets her husband through mail, they literally decide through mail written correspondence only that they both have something to offer the other and she travels from back east to marry him. He is seeking a mother for his little girl, someone to run his house and give him a male heir for whom he can pass the homestead farm onto. Quickly he finds out that she didn’t include vital information about herself…her disfigured face. But true to his word he marries her anyways and takes her home to his daughter. This is where the real fun begins as the daughter proves to be very angry with this new mother. The story continues on to tell of how these 3 people learn to heal from their losses and become a family, while that’s not to say they don’t have their troubles. It was a sweet read about love, friendship, healing and that looks aren’t what makes a person good. I loved that this story was so raw and real when it came to the cruel and sweet sides of life. It was a great read and I would recommend for anyone that loves an old fashioned love story.
