I love Lauraine Snellings books, at least those I’ve read so
far, I know there were quite a few. This
book is a historical romance based in 1910 Minnesota. There is also a bit of mystery as Nilda
Carlson was accosted by Dreng Nygaard back in Norway, that that affects her
interaction between possible suitors, she is always cautious when it comes to
men. She has a couple of suitors, but
then as she is settled in a home with her younger brother having traveled from
Norway, and slowly adjusting, she sees Dreng Nygaard again. He’s come from
Norway and she’s afraid of him. The
author assumes you’ve read the previous two books, she doesn’t go into this
book building on the past stories. She just digs in. The book is very sweet when it comes to
romance, filled with prayer and the bible, and the things that Nilda counts on
to keep her safe and happy. The book
holds your interest and is easily read in a day or so, and you’ll be able to
read also, about felling trees, making butter, building a home, weaving rugs,
etc. All the things they would have done
in 1910 Minnesota. I gave the book 4
stars.
I received this
book through NetGalley.com and the publishers as a promotional piece. I’m providing a review of the book of my
volition.

In 1910 Minnesota, Nilda Carlson's dreams are coming true.
Though her first few months in America were difficult, her life now resembles
the images that filled her daydreams in Norway. She and her younger brother
Ivar live in their own house, just a short distance from her older brother and
his family. Together they work the farm and fell trees for lumber. They plan to
grow a dairy herd, weave rugs out of their own wool, and make skis to sell.
Everything is going right.
The only thing missing from Nilda's life is love. But though she has two suitors--a quiet schoolteacher and a handsome lumberjack--Nilda feels hesitant. A terrifying experience in Norway has made her cautious where men are concerned. When she thinks she sees the man in question, all her fears come flooding back. Is it possible the danger has followed her across the Atlantic? If Dreng Nygaard is truly in Minnesota, all of her dreams for the future could come crashing down around her.
