Orphaned, impoverished, evicted, and unemployed, Lucy Marsh is running out of options. So, when a wealthy Texas rancher offers her a proxy marriage to his son, Lucy sees it as the only glimmer of hope for her and her two younger siblings. Does a new life await Lucy in Texas? Or, will old troubles follow close behind?
Colleen Coble's Blue Moon Promise (Thomas Nelson, 2012) starts off a little slow and a bit heavy handed. It feels as if Coble wasn't quite sure how to get the story off the ground in a believable manner. A few more pages in, however, Coble hits her stride with a story that is heartwarming and romantic. I enjoyed the historical backdrop (1870s Texas), and Coble's character development is excellent. I really liked Lucy, her younger brother, and her little sister and cared what became of them. And, the hero of Blue Moon Promise? Swoon worthy . . .

You must be a fast reader because you seem to go through a LOT of books!
I received the copy of the daily devotional. Thanks again! I really appreciate it!
I don't have a kindle (what?) -- but this sounds like a book I would enjoy.
Great review! :)
I'm a tiny bit of a historical fiction fan, but not that much. Still, thanks for the review!
not too sure if this is a read for me, a shame as I do enjoy my historical fiction and this is certainly different from anything I've read before.
I like historical fiction, but sometimes the romance part does me in.
Great review as always at your sea, not sure it is my cup of tea...haha
Er...what's a proxy marriage?
I think I need Lucy. Thanks for this review.
the meet up would be wonderful!
So far this month I've wrapped up Get Shorty by Elmore Leonard, The Visible Man by Chuck Klosterman, and Journey To The Center Of The Earth by Jules Verne. Not one "swoon worthy" character in any of 'em ;-) Heh...
For a swoon worthy hero i can mark my calendar.
