My Review

Deeply Devoted - 3 1/2 STARS - GREAT

I’ve never read a book by Maggie Brendan so I didn’t know what to expect from this book. I was hoping for a good love story and I was not disappointed. She introduced Catherine Olsen a young lady from Holland who agrees to be a farmer in Wyoming mail order bride. What she didn’t tell him in her letters, that she was the guardian of her two younger sisters and they would be coming to America with her.

Peter Andersen was smitten with the woman he had been corresponding with and agreed to her sisters living with them. He was a little disturbed that she didn’t mention them in her letters and hoped she didn’t have any other things to hide.

Peter’s mom, Clara had other plans for her son and they didn’t include marrying some stranger from Holland. She decided to find out more about her new daughter-in-law even if it destroyed her relationship with her son.

This story was the perfect example about keeping secrets in a relationship especially a marriage. The truth always has a way of coming into the light.

I enjoyed Ms. Brendan flow of words. She made me feel as if I were right there in Wyoming with Catherine and Peter. I’m looking forward to reading more of her books. If you’re looking for a historical with a lot of romance pick up a copy of Deeply.
