About this listen

Lucy dreamed of marrying Samuel, until she woke up as his wife.

Samuel Wilson is dismissed after a disastrous year at the newly created Harvard Medical School, ending his dream of becoming a doctor. Shamed by his dismissal, he returns to his North Shore home where he avoids his former fiancée, Lucy Simms, and tries to dismiss all ideas of marrying her.

Lucy pretends Samuel’s rejection means little as she helps her family on their farm. An early New England blizzard brings challenges and death to her door. When it is over, Lucy lays in her cabin near death with only five-year-old Sally to aid her. Samuel discovers Lucy delirious with fever and endeavors to save her from the fatal illness that claimed most of her family. Unwittingly he puts her reputation in danger. At his parents’ insistence, Samuel marries a barely conscious Lucy.

Lucy awakens to a reality more bizarre than her dreams. Sure that Samuel’s vows are coerced, she does everything in her power to convince him to annul the marriage. With the help of his mother and Sarah, he sets out to prove to Lucy that the vows he took are permanent.

My first book by this author. I really enjoyed this early American Romance. It was interesting to learn how people used to live during those times. Their customs were quite different. I loved how faithful and hardworking Samuel was. He loved his childhood friend Lucy fiercely and did his best to show her. Their marriage started off rather unconventionally, but Samuel never lost sight of what he wanted, which was Lucy. Little Sarah, Lucy’s younger sister, was wonderful. I loved her intelligent comments and sweet personality.
A heartwarming friends-to-lovers story. I also loved Samuel’s parents, Emma and Martin. They were so wise and supportive. A great story, narrated beautifully by Lorna Hopes.

A lovely slow-burn romance
