High Plains Promise: Large Print Hardcover Edition: 2 (Love on the High Plains)

This is the love story of a pastor. Being catholic, it was strange to me to have a man of the cloth fall in love and marry. The whole story is very lovely, Cody being an absolute dear. Kristina is adorable from the inside: nature did not bless her with good looks. Cody somewhat saw beyond her face and has earned himself a true gem. The book ends very abruptly, though: an epilogue of some sort would have tied everything nicely and there are still some typos/words extra or missing.

Love, romance, action. A good story.

I enjoyed the heck out of this story. Ms. Baudelaire spins a tale like a master. It's easy to get lost in the story. The characters are authentic, and the world she creates is real. I could live there.Why the four stars? Some of the interactions between some people were far too graphic for my tastes. I'm no prude; after twenty-one years in the Navy, I have seen, read, or heard almost every steamy description. I just don't care for it.Mixing steam in a Christian novel, I think, is in poor taste. If Ms. Beaudelaire had used the 1950s black and white film style (fade to black when things got hot), this would have been one of my top ten favorite stories.In my opinion, the story would have been better without the steam. Because of it, I will not read #2.

Lots of wonderful characters living in a tiny town in a hard living time - the way the lovers grow with each other is lovely

The high point of the book was the coffee press. I've heard of coffee pot, percolator, even cowboy coffee but coffee press sounded a little bit too modern.
