Sweet story with likable characters

The story kept me engrossed from page one. There weren't any obstacles other than the unspoken secret from her past. The couple came together without any hinderences and floated beyond her secret when it was exposed. The obstacle that came at the end of the story was unexpected and unneccessary, yet the book still had a charming ending. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will go on to read more from Jillian Hart.

Really really a good, sweet read...(4 1/2 stars)

Linnea Holmstrom is a good woman, but she has a past. When she was a young girl of sixteen, she made a mistake that tarnished her reputation. No one in her small town wants anything to do with her. Linnea spends her days sewing and taking care of her sweet elderly mother. Seth Gatlin is a widower. He lost his wife and children to sickness. When Seth receives a letter from his sister asking for his assistance in taking care of her ranch, he jumps at the chance to be useful. Upon arriving at his sisters Montana home, Seth meets Linnea. A hesitant friendship forms that eventually blooms into love. "Bluebonnet Bride" was such an endearing story. It was a gentle character driven tale that had me glued to it from page one. My only minor complaint that I have is that I could have done without a small obstacle that arose towards the storys ending. Still, this book is a definite keeper and one that I would recommend without hesitation.
