 A fine setting but poor plot and inconsistent characters July 23, 2008
In all fairness I have to say that this book did do a great job making you feel as if you had stepped back into time. That being said the book has so many problems that I really wouldn't recommend it.
*SPOILERS* On one hand you have Faith's sister who gets married to a horrible man but in the end that is treated as if it was no biggie- not even by the absent father- and she didn't even seem sorry for all the trauma she put her sister through.
Not to mention that the man Faith falls in love with seems to just put up with her, and their "love" story is so disjointed that you loose any concern for their characters. Any dialogue between them is so brief you wonder why they even care for one another.
Another character issue is that one minute Faith is presented as a strong woman who is willing to face insurmountable dangers in order to travel across the west, then the next she doesn't have the strength of character to stand up to her sister?
I found myself caring more for Irene and her Indian lover than anyone else in the story. And when the secondary characters overshadow the main, that's when I think the whole story needed much better character development.
 christian old timey romance with a touch of mystery July 14, 2008
Very well written, holding my interest throughout. Wagon train going west with a touch of mystery, humor and romance. Would recommend.

Faith keeps a promise to her mother on her deathbed to take Charity her younger sister to the gold fields of California. The journey is very difficult across the country. There was trouble in Ft. Laramie. Connell McClain searching for his sweetheart becomes concerned for the girls and decided that they needed his protection. This is an interesting love story with its own problems. A good read. By Ruth Thompson author of "Natchez Above The River" and "The Bluegrass Dream"

Frontier Courtship is a great romance. It has a lot of adventure and love. It is a page-turner. If you like western and romance this book is an excellent choice.

Frontier Courtship is the second book I've read in the new historical line by Love Inspired, and I loved it. The spunky heroine has her hands full traveling by wagon train with her lovestruck sixteen-year-old sister, who has her hat set for the wagon master. One thing after another happens to Faith Beal, and it seems Connell McClain is always there to rescue her. Connell is searching for his lost love. Will Faith help him find the woman he longs for, even when she wants Connell for herself?
Frontier Courtship is a fast-paced inspirational historical. Trouble comes to Faith faster than she can keep up, but she never loses heart. Connell makes a hero, brave and trustworthy, even though he could use a haircut and shave. I thoroughly enjoyed Valerie Hansen's latest book.
