ABOUT THE BOOK: Book Number One in the Under Texas Stars series
A love like Lucy and Nate’s only comes along once in a blue moon . . .
Lucy Marsh's worldly resources are running out, but she's fiercely determined to care for her younger brother and sister. When she discovers that their father's recent death was no accident, Lucy is eager to leave town. She accepts a proxy marriage she believes will provide safe refuge. But trouble follows her to Texas where her new husband is surprised to suddenly have a wife and children to care for.
Nate Stanton always hoped he'd marry someday, but running the family ranch meant he had no time for romance. When his father deposits Lucy Marsh—a city girl—on his doorstep, with two siblings in the bargain, he expects ranch life will send her running on the first train out of town. But Lucy is made of tougher stuff than Nate imagined. When danger moves in, Nate finds he'd give anything to protect Lucy and the children he's grown to love. Even if it means giving up his ranch.
MY REVIEW: I have to admit right off the bat that one of the things that first drew me to this book was the fact that it was set in Texas. Fortunately it also turns out that this book is the first in a series so we can look forward to enjoying these characters again!
After her father’s death Lucy is set to do anything to keep her young siblings safe – including the acceptance of a marriage proposal to a man she’s never met. The proposal couldn’t have come at a better time for Lucy as her job was abruptly ended and her landlord had just delivered the news that they must move out.
Unfortunately the news of a proxy marriage didn’t sit well with Nate and he was not pleased at all. However, through faith and patience a workable solution was found. And did love follow shortly after???
This book was a great read for me, even though it took a bit for me to get into. Once I did there was no stopping and I would easily recommend this book to anyone who likes period romances.

Now that I have learned to post to your blog...I am going back and reposting my comments since I see none of them went through. I mentioned that Coleen Coble is one of my favorite Authors. Partly cause her series Rock Harbor was the first series I have ever read, but mostly cause the books were very hard to put down. I was up till wee hours in the morning reading them. I was so sad when I finished the last book and lost as I did not know what to read next. I am for sure going to add this one to my Good Reads "To Read" list. Thanks for sharing the review!!!
