My Review: 
It 's a historical novel, sweet, clean, a really addictive and enjoyable read.
It set during the First World War in Michigan. Kian and Gretchen meet during a snow storm. Gretchen has no home nor a family. She has stolen the name of a dead woman and has adopted her children. Absolutely they have to catch a train but they are very hungry and they are suffering very cold. They are going to die when Kian helps them. He's a widower with four children. Already he has many problems but can't abandon Gretchen
The characters are both real and extraordinary, they had a very complicated life and have a past to forget. Together they form a very special couple.
It 's a quick book, simple but very addictive. It is an entertaining and relaxing read.
If you enjoy reading sweet romance, then definitely pick this up!




  Excerpt 1: In this scene, Gretchen learns that Kian has a secret dream to be a carriage driver on the island. She has a dream of her own and knows the power of them, so she is determined to help him achieve his goal. "It was a stupid dream. I should sell it, ta pay ya." Kian jerked the covering into place and turned away. "Nein. No." She followed him. "Dream is not stupid. Dream is good." She slowed down to hit the correct sound at the end. Just so he understood. He yanked pieces of oak from the pile near the door and dropped them into her pail. "I help you vith your dream." She pulled out the bigger pieces and returned them to the stack before tugging the handle from his grip. Selecting the right size for the cook stove, she filled her bucket. "You see." "Why?" He stared at the wood pile and huddled in his jacket. She didn't want to think too hard about the why. Instead, she clasped the pail to her chest and hustled for the door. He beat her there and pushed back the snow, so she could squeeze through the opening. Before she exited, he stayed her with a hand on her arm. "Why?" "Because I have the dreams, too. And you are helping to make them true." She ducked under his arm and walked into the cold. More than he knew. Maybe more than was safe for her heart.
