about the book

Levi found out how much void a woman could fill in his heart…

But the heartache and betrayal wasn’t worth it.

He was better off alone… wasn’t he?

Levi enjoys his secluded life on the mountain until his friend convinces him he needs a woman in his life. A wife, when you’ve barely been around people, especially women? If only he could pick one out at the store like a shovel or bag of flour. But Levi falls head over heels—ignoring all the warning signs that something is wrong—until a delay in marrying her reveals her true intentions.

Now, he’s decided heartache and betrayal aren’t worth it. He’s better off alone. But God has a surprise waiting in the wilderness, softening the devastation he had suffered… in the form of a feisty woman who has claimed his mountain home for her own.

review

levi's happy with his life in his mountain home—until he realizes maybe it's time to find a wife. of course, it's not as easy to do as he initially believes, and he has a few heartaches before he finds the woman right for him.

levi's loyalty has some fun elements, like forced proximity and grumpy-sunshine, and there are some definite twists to his story. however, it is a short one (under 150 pages), so as a result, a lot of the story gets told instead of shown. there were multiple moments, to me, that felt like all of a sudden, this was happening or he felt that way. i wanted just a little more development to be able to connect with the characters and the overall story.

however, if you enjoy historical romance and novella-length stories, levi's loyalty could still be an enjoyable read for you.

i received a complimentary copy from the author. i was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions i have expressed are my own.

about the author

Lynne Lanning has such an effortless way of evoking emotion from her readers. Her characters are so realistic that the reader can feel their pain during trials and their joy during triumphs. Reviews state: “…it’s as if Mrs. Lanning lived through this herself.” “Couldn’t put it down…” “A real page turner.” Lynne enjoys turning history and her love of God into enjoyable, relatable stories with practical life lessons that can benefit people today. Each story tells of true bonds of love and loyalty, mixed with tough times and decisions, with a twist of humor and sometimes devastation…the same is true in life. With a blend of her own family members and heritage along with lots of fiction, it’s hard to tell where reality stops and fantasy begins.
