Noah decided to take a routine trip into town to check his
mail and pick up a few supplies, but a letter from the IRS claiming he is still
married railroads his plans. He confronts his ex and begins the process of
rectifying the mistake in the paperwork to finalize the divorce that should
have been done with a year and a half ago. Josephine was going about her daily
business running her hair salon when her “ex-husband” barges in, visibly upset,
to inform her of his recent discovery. In an attempt to rectify matters, she
runs the new papers up to his ranch a few days later only to discover that she
is now trapped with him waiting for a severe winter storm to pass.
A few years ago I read one of Denise Hunter’s romance novels
and really enjoyed it, so I figured I’d try another one. I was not disappointed!
I feel like her writing has gotten better, and I really enjoy her character
development. The story brings up past issues for the characters, who have to
learn to trust God in different ways. Josephine has to learn to accept
forgiveness, and Noah learns to explore the truth before jumping to rash
decisions. It turned out to be a beautiful love story that I read in about two
days.
If you enjoy a fairly clean romance with Christian undertones,
you will enjoy Sweetbriar Cottage. I would not recommend it for younger teens as
there are some adult themes. So parents, you might want to read this before you
decide it’s appropriate for your older teens.
