WINNIE'S REVIEW:
It was a delight to journey back to Foxtail Farm and join the Dalton family in the quest to save their farm. When rancher Thatcher Dalton suddenly needs to find a wife to keep his inheritance at the same time Bliss Anderson loses her job, it seems like too good of a coincidence to miss. Bliss needs stability to go through with her adoption of her foster daughter, and Thatcher can offer that to them. Thatcher and Bliss are engaging and relatable, and foster daughter Juniper and her dog Coco are adorable. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them and seeing their relationships grow and change.
Themes of family, faith, trust, and hope add inspiration and depth to the story and enhanced my enjoyment of it. It is well-written with a lovely cast of endearing characters. This is a sweet, clean, and charming contemporary romance that is sure to entertain and warm your heart.

PAULA'S REVIEW:
A contemporary, marriage-of-convenience story when Thrasher is virtually forced to marry Bliss. When the terms of his uncle’s will stipulate that a wedding must take place or the Foxtail Farms property is in jeopardy for Thatcher and his three cousins, Thrasher proposes to Bliss. The arrangement benefits Bliss because then she can complete the process to adopt her foster girl Juniper.
It was interesting to see how the characters put their faith to work as they prayed, seeking God’s will in these unique situations. Of course the purely business arrangement turns romantic as Bliss and Thatcher learn about each other, seeing the good and the difficult and choosing to work through the problems. Juniper and her service dog, Coco, added depth and explained about epilepsy and working animals.
If you have been following the cousins and how they are dealing with inheriting Foxtail Farms, some of the why is revealed in this story. A few questions are answered about the will and stipulations.
This story had a great plot with well drawn characters and a heartwarming romance.
I am looking forward to more stories about Foxtail Farms.

BackCover Blurb:
An inheritance with strings attached…
Forces him to tie the knot.

When widowed bookkeeper Bliss Anderson suddenly finds herself without a job, she knows that the adoption of her foster daughter, who has epilepsy, will be in jeopardy—unless she accepts Thatcher’s proposal of a marriage of convenience. As the platonic couple settle into married life and parenthood, they soon find that remaining just friends is harder than expected. But when a long-held family secret threatens their growing happiness, it’ll take a little girl’s Easter wish to turn them into a real family…
