Synopsis

She thought she knew what she wanted in life . . . then Jonathan arrived.

Eighteen-year-old Grace Knutson loves Blessing, North Dakota, and sees no reason to leave. She's more serious-minded than her twin sister, Sophie, and very sensitive to the feelings of others. In spite of her family's disapproval, Grace has always had a soft spot in her heart for Toby Valders, for she's seen the vulnerable side he keeps well hidden.

Jonathan Gould, the handsome scion of a wealthy New York family, creates a flurry of anticipation and speculation when he arrives in Blessing. Jonathan's father wants him to learn the value of manual labor and to appreciate the accomplishments of those not born to wealth. Surprisingly, the "city boy" takes to farm life and actually enjoys working from dawn to dusk alongside the others. Soon he finds himself inexplicably drawn to gentle, courageous Grace.

But Jonathan's affection presents an agonizing dilemma for Grace. Is he truly the one her heart desires?

This is the first of the Blessing, ND books where it seemed that the story wasn't over at the end. Snelling didn't exactly give us a cliffhanger, but I wanted more of Grace's story. The love story didn't really get going until the book was almost over. I'm hoping that there will be more than a passi......more

My favorite book of the series! Grace is so sweet and Jonathan is such a nice guy. The romance was clean and just so fun. I loved getting to watch Jonathan who is from the city and doesn't know how to handle a farm try to take on the Knutson's large dairy farm! It was quite entertaining! Interwoven......more
