She thought he was her knight in shining armor, but will a marriage of convenience prove her wrong?

A marriage of convenience might give her hope or dash her hopes forever.

She’s lost everything. Can a marriage of convenience give her hope.

An Easter historical romance offers hope.

What is a woman to do? Vivian has lost the love of her life and now his friend has asked her to marry him. Some people take their promises seriously and Henry is one of them. I would be shocked if I was Vivian. She doesn't love him, but maybe he is an answer to her prayers. Well it seems Vivian is about to take on an adventure she wasn't expecting. I really liked how Henry wanted Vivian to feel at home since she is his wife now. I'm pretty sure I would have butterflies in my stomach about now. The house doesn't have a lot going for it, but at least Vivian will have someone to take care of her.

The trip to the general store was exciting as the ladies gathered around Vivian to congratulate her on her marriage. The author does a great job of describing the store and I wanted to join them as they talked. I was a bit surprised that Henry discouraged Vivian from wanting to come back to town. Vivian is pretty feisty and I loved how she stood her ground with Henry. Henry has problems being around anyone and it starts to bother Vivian. The author presents Henry as  a standoffish man and won't do anything to help the people in town. I could feel the undercurrent of bitterness brewing inside him. What if he needs help someday? Will anyone come to his rescue since he has distanced himself from the entire town?

The story is powerful and full of surprises. When a disaster strikes will Henry allow people to help him? Can he get over his guilt from something that happened a long time ago? I loved how the author used characters to show readers what happens when you choose not to forgive. Pride always gets in the way, but the good news is that God is always there to help us. This is a short story but packed with a strong message of faith, trust and unconditional love.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
