Product Description

After surviving an unhappy marriage, Charity Beal avoids men. But compassion gets the better of her when she encounters Thorne Blackwell, a rugged shipping magnate in the midst of crisis. His brother has vanished, and hired guns are after his brother's wife and son. To save them, Thorne faces a grueling journey through the wild Oregon Territory. In order to succeed, he needs Charity's help.

Through roiling rivers and lush mountain passes, Charity's kindness and faith awakens Thorne to a strength he never knew. But before he can heal her wounded heart and win her love, he has to save their party from the sharpshooter stalking their every step.

More About the Author

By now you have probably discovered that there are two of me. Well, not really. I'm the Valerie Hansen who writes Christian Romance, Suspense and Historical fiction for Love Inspired. This is my maiden name and much easier to spell and remember than my married name, Valerie Whisenand. I've been published since the 1980s and have over 45 books to my credit, most of which were written as Valerie Hansen. You can visit my website www.ValerieHansen.com to read excerpts and will find virtually all of my books still available through Amazon.com. AND NOW ALSO MANY ON KINDLE!

I'm thrilled that having my work on Kindle allows so many of my loyal readers to continue to find my books even after they're out of print.

I don't have a blog right now but do participate as a guest on others. Since I just received a contract to write 6 more books for Love Inspired as well as an option for a 7th, I hardly have time to breathe, let along blog!

(I can always find time for chocolate, though)

This review is from: Wilderness Courtship (Steeple Hill Love Inspired Historical #13) (Mass Market Paperback)

I'm amazed when folks read a Christian romance and expect something else. This is how it's supposed to be - clean and honest with no sordid of grautitous sex. I love this kind of book and I happen to especially like this one, which has gotten wonderful reviews in other places. There's even an excerpt on the author's website if you're not sure it's right for you.

3.0 out of 5 stars GROAN!, September 4, 2008

By 

Mrs Debarr (Maine USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wilderness Courtship (Steeple Hill Love Inspired Historical #13) (Mass Market Paperback)

It is written fine, I just never came to care what happened to any of the characters. Thornton Blackwell takes his "brother" and his wife and son out of New York to save them from their deranged father and picks up Charity in San Francisco to go North with him and his sister in law to her parents in the Northwest wilderness. Sprinkled with sordid past, cleaned up for a Love Inspired book and voila-- tepid book, in my opinion. I love to read, read a REAL book and skip this one!
