Book Review: Courting Morrow Little by Laura Frantz
My Thoughts:
Get ready to neglect everything when you open this romantic, action-packed tale from Laura Frantz! With wonderful characters and a dreamy romance, you will find yourself on the frontier with Morrow thanks to the author’s rich descriptions.
This is the third time I’ve read this beauty from Laura Frantz and I discovered the craziest thing. When in my third trimester, I have a difficult time recalling plots, even the ones I’ve read many times over the years and loved, and it was like reading Courting Morrow Little again for the first time!!! In a word: MAGICAL.
My Rating:
FIVE stars!! Happily Ever After! Page-turner! Romantic! Tragic! Wonderful characters! Haunting! Tear-jerker! Action-packed! Great world building! Unpredictable! (Yes, unpredictable even after the third time reading because hey, pregnancy brain is a real thing!)
Morrow Little is haunted by the memory of the day her family was torn apart by raiding Shawnee warriors. Now that she is nearly a grown woman and her father is ailing, she must make difficult choices about the future. Several men — ranging from the undesired to the unthinkable — vie for her attentions, but she finds herself inexplicably drawn to a forbidden love that both terrifies and intrigues her. Can she betray the memory of her lost loved ones — and garner suspicion from her friends–by pursuing a life with him? Or should she seal her own misery by marrying a man she doesn’t love?
This sweeping tale of romance and forgiveness will envelop readers as it takes them from a Kentucky fort through the vast wilderness to the west in search of true love.
