CRM REVIEW:

She’s like a dandelion. She travels wherever God sends her.

Hope Ladley is… um… interesting. Jakob Stuaffer hires her on because he’s desperate. He needs her to help his very pregnant sister during the harvest time.

He’s quiet, smart, and if’n he’s not the hardest man Hope ever saw, she doesn’t know who is. He’s a good father, too.

something fishy going on. Hope feels like she has stepped into one or several secrets when she walks through the front door. As she works with Jakob to protect his sister and daughter, they’ll discover what a perfect team they make.

But when Hope leaves, will Jakob be able to bring her back?

Cathy Marie Hake writes another winner; destined to charm and keep your eyes glued to the pages until the very end. I liked it better than Fancy Pants.
