Description
Kate Dawson was supposed to be a mail-order bride, but upon realizing she'd been deceived about her intended groom, she's now settled into life as a schoolteacher. When the mother of a student passes away, Kate assumes she'll take on care of nine-year-old Anthony--until two men suddenly show up in town, claiming to be the boy's father.
Silas can see Anthony loves Kate, so he enlists her help in reaching out to the boy and attempting to prove his paternity to the court. When a common interest in Anthony leads to an interest in each other and Silas and Kate begin to think they can overcome their rocky start, neither is prepared for the secrets and past hurts that have yet to come to light. Can Silas, Kate, and Anthony's wounded souls bind them together or will all that stands between them leave them lonely forever?
"An author who keeps you guessing about how the couple will get together until the very end, Melissa Jagears's writing contains her trademark wit and a fresh spin that turns everyday situations into extraordinary ones."
--Naomi Rawlings, author of Falling for the Enemy

FTC Disclosure: I received a complimentary electronic copy of this book, but I ended up listening to the audio version. These are my honest thoughts.
This story started out great! The fight for a child’s custody was entertaining under Mrs. Jagears’ hand. I especially adored how protective of the boy Kate Dawson was. It was fun following along as Silas Jonesy searched for proof of his fatherhood… and the problems that cropped up along the way.
I liked that there was a thread about the teacher’s reputation. I never saw anything that ought to be a problem, but it was neat to see the neighbors and school board members accusing her of silly things, which was proof of the strictness of the era (and the author’s attention to detail in her research). Entertaining and historically accurate; I adored that combination.
The twists and turns of the plot were unexpected and entertaining. I wish a bad word wouldn’t slip into this author’s books, because they’re such fun stories! Every book in this series had one curse word, unfortunately.
This was a lovely conclusion to the Unexpected Brides trilogy. A couple of characters from the previous two books were included, as was the fictional town. It definitely felt like it belonged in the same series.
