Beneath a Prairie Moon: A Novel

Ah, happy sigh! This is one of the books that I have to digest before I can manage to review it. The cover is gorgeous, but the story inside just as much so. I knew I would love it, since it's Kim Vogel Sawyer, and each phase of the story was like unfolding a new leaf of enjoyment.

It's impossible to be tempted to peek ahead because the plot twists around on itself so many times, which is right up my alley. I love having books surprise me with unexpected occurrences! No great predictability in this story, excepting only that the hero and heroine are going to end up being interested in each other.

I loved the original twist on the matchmaker story! A bride who's been returned to the agency more than once and gets reassigned to assistant and etiquette coach. But do we see a prissy etiquette story? Ah, no! That's not all there is to it, because...Twists. Indeed. All the way from sunburn to kidnapping.

One of my favorite things was the deep spiritual lessons. I've heard the topic as naseum in other CF books, but this approach is fresh and engaging and feels authentic.

Content/language: Nothing objectionable. Could be given safely to ages 14/15
