TRIXI'S REVIEW:
He wanted a quiet, composed wife who wouldn’t disrupt his well-ordered life. She’d wanted a love match, not a marriage built on convenience. Neither one of them had been happy about the arrangement.
Now this was a fun read! I enjoy a good sunny/grumpy troupe, especially if the grumpy is the man! Eli certainly fit that description to a tee. He loves a well-ordered life full of predictability and order, so when Sadie enters his life and disrupts everything, that’s where things get interesting!
These two were fun to get to know. Eli needed to learn that sometimes things don’t go his way and Sadie is the brightness he didn’t know he’d been missing. She was also good for him in showing him how to let go and have fun, and Eli was good for Sadie in showing her how a lady should be treated, cherished and wanted. Of course, they still butt heads every once in a while, but it just adds to their charm and personality. The faith theme tied it all up for me… I love the reminders of how God treasures each one of us, even in all our imperfections.
It’s been a long time since I’ve read a story by Winnie Griggs, so I certainly enjoyed this one! I look forward to reading the next installment where we’ll get Griff’s story. I love these brothers!

BackCover Blurb:
He wanted a proper wife. What he got was Sadie Everhart.
Known for her sunny smile and impulsive ways, Sadie Everhart has never fit the mold of what polite society calls refined behavior. But when a sudden storm strands her overnight with the town’s most eligible—and most serious—bachelor, she’s faced with an impossible choice: risk scandal, or agree to a marriage of convenience..
Eli Reynolds has no time for romantic nonsense. With a young sister to raise and a business to run, he needs a wife who’s sensible and steady—not a free spirit with a stubborn streak. But day by day, Sadie surprises him… with her humor, her heart, and her unwavering faith.
Drawn together by propriety but held together by something deeper, Eli and Sadie must decide whether love can grow in the most unexpected places—and whether opposites truly do attract.
