From Library Journal

Mail-order bride June Kallahan arrives in Seattle from Michigan to discover that her intended, Eli Messenger, the assistant to a famous evangelist named Isaac Inman, is ill. After he dies, June stays on to work at the local orphanage, where she realizes Inman is allowing the orphans to go without in order to build a showy tabernacle. A romance blooms between June and Parker Sentell, a friend of Eli's, as they try to convince Inman of the errors of his thinking. Like its predecessor (Faith, LJ 11/1/98), this smoothly written romance should please most readers, although the characterization of a flawed clergymanAan intriguing twist in a genre that usually demands perfect behavior from its religious charactersAmakes it a cut above many other Christian romances and may help it appeal to a wider audience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite as good as FAITH, November 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: June (Brides of the West #2) (HeartQuest) (Paperback)

I was a little disappointed that JUNE wasn't as hilarious as FAITH. However, it still has the quality you will expect from Lori Copeland. It is a story of trusting God, even when things don't quite go as you planned. JUNE is a well-written love story that will be hard to put down till you've read it all.

3.0 out of 5 stars June............ What I think, July 27, 2001

This review is from: June (Brides of the West #2) (HeartQuest) (Paperback)

This book was pretty good. I got a little irritated reading the words 'tabernacle' 'Parker Sentell' and 'Reverend Inman' about 1000 times each. As you can imagine, it was a bit repetative. The storyline was pretty basic- tragedy, boy meets girl, girl teaches boy, boy teaches girl , boy loves girl but won't let her know, girl leaves, boy goes after girl. And of course, your basic happy ending. But all in all it was a very decent book. If you are looking for a clean read, here it is.

A warm mix of varied characters provides for a wonderful read. Lori Copeland wraps you up in a patchwork quilt of history, adventure, a little suspense, and a lot love. See for yourself!
