My Thoughts:
If you are looking for a sweet romance on the prairie look no further than Promise for Tomorrow.
Here we have a young preacher who would very much like to marry his secret intended and soon. Unfortunately, everything seems to be conspiring against them. Logan is bound and determined to keep all appearance of evil away and goes to great lengths to preserve Karen's reputation. The problem is that Karen, the town's school teacher, is still boarding with Logan and his mother and sister. There appears to be no other room for the teacher.
Logan was a gentleman through and through yet he knew his weaknesses as a man. I was a bit baffled by him in his continued secrecy of his relationship with Karen, I thought that at times he did go overboard.
Karen was as patient and as loving as could be. She also had her own problems in the town. The students, especially the boys acted out, and the parents certainly had different ideas about education than Karen did.
Through it all however, Karen and Logan did make a great team. Especially all that was thrown their way. Their story made for an enjoyable read to pass the time with.
I received a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
