Review # 1 was written on 2019-03-24 00:00:00 Oleg Didyk When a series of mishaps leaves the economy of Maple Falls in ruins, the men decide to head west to look for gold. This leaves the women and children home to fend for themselves. It also leaves Lucas Garrett as the last able-bodied man in town. At first Lucas is in heaven. There are ladies bringing him pies, ladies doing his laundry, and ladies warming his bed. But these women are wearing him out. So he comes up with a plan to ask his best friend, Priscilla Wentworth, to pose as his fiancee so the women will leave him alone. She agrees with one condition...Lucas must find her a husband. This is easier said than done since all of the men have left town. This could have been a fun summer read but is started off terribly slow. One kiss to convince the women in town that Lucas is off the market, and suddenly Pris and Lucas are looking at each other in a whole new light. The next 150 pages were the two of them trying to keep their distance from each other. Finally, they came up with an idea to restore the failed economy in the town and the story started to pick up. The second half of the book was much better and kept my interest. I liked both Priscilla and Lucas. Both of them do little things to keep the poor from starving or freezing to death. They seemed to take on the responsibility for the whole town. This is my first book by Susan Kay Law. I liked the second half of this book and will check out other books by this author. My rating: 3.5 Stars.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-12-04 00:00:00 Francisco Garcia Lucas Garrett is a good looking guy and the only one left in Maple Falls in 1860 thanks to the Gold Rush and the failed mills in the area. He's been trying to keep all of the women happy in and out of bed, but it's become more work than fun. To give himself a break, he persuades his best friend, Priscilla Wentworth to pose as his fiancee. In return, she's to be introduced to possible husbands by Lucas. Having grown up together they've never been attracted, but this "engagement" puts them in a new light and the attraction is there. While they're fighting it, they're also putting the town back together. Eventually everything comes together including Priscilla and Lucas. Several specific/explicit scenes.
