My rating: 💛💛💛💛
Karen Witemeyer remains a favourite with this story, which again was a great product of history, action and an unusual, sweet love story!
I loved Zach and his internal struggle to enjoy his freedom and stepping up to be the hero. Abigail was a different but realistic main character with the focus on her business. I liked that the marriage of convenience came from the women’s side in this story, but how Zach was also honest and real about everything expected in a marriage.
I loved catching up with Zach’s family and enjoyed getting to know Abigail and her sister.
I listened to the audiobook, and it was entertaining and well delivered pinning down each character’s voice perfectly.
About the book:
After fulfilling a pledge to a dying friend, Zacharias Hamilton is finally free. No family entanglements. No disappointing those around him. Just the quiet bachelor existence he's always craved. Until fate snatches his freedom away when the baker of his favorite breakfast bun is railroaded by the city council. Despite not wanting to get involved, he can't turn a blind eye to her predicament . . . or her adorable dimples.
Abigail Kemp needs a man's name on her bakery's deed. A marriage of convenience seems the best solution . . . if it involves a man she can control. That person definitely isn't the stoic lumberman who oozes silent confidence whenever he enters her shop. Control Zacharias Hamilton? She can't even control her pulse when she's around him.
When vows are spoken, Abigail's troubles should be over. Yet threats to the bakery worsen, and darker dangers hound her sister. Can she put ever more trust in Zach without losing her dreams of independence?
