3.0
Let me start off with some positive notes: Kate is FUNNY! I can visualize her dressing up and playing the role of "Billy." I can see her hurriedly switching back to her "Kate" clothes or the clothes that she used to play "Billy's wife." I think Ms. Nordin must have had a blast writing this story because I found it truly amusing.
I do like Chad and I admire a man who can just ignore the lazy farmhands and their negative feelings towards him. Chad does want to keep his life Christ-centered. That's just how it should be!
Georgia and Lacy are very manipulative women. They are two peas in a pod. Very selfish. Very foolish. I was thrilled when Chad's arrogant brother (Chris) entered the scene because he was a perfect fit for Lacy. I knew that if Lacy and Chris hooked up, then they would be more likely to leave Chad and Kate alone.
The mention of sex and stuff kinda threw me off. I didn't feel that it fit in with everything else. Yes, the other characters are vulgar at times, but there's something about it that made it feel "off" instead of natural. I can't put my finger on it, but....it's off.
I'm not sure I would want to keep this book. I think if some things were different, I might keep it, but I'm leaning toward "delete."

1.5 stars.
I picked this book because it had one of my favorite things: girl pretending to be a boy. Don't know why, but I enjoy it...in other books.
For a woman hiding as a man to save her own life, she is pretty cavalier with who she divulges her real identity to. Actually, a lot of this wasn't really thought out, nor is it believable. The heroine is kind of too dumb to live at times, and the living situation the hero is in is kind of baffling as well.
Also, this is apparently a Christian romance, which I didn't know and doesn't seem to be advertised as such. It takes a bit for it to surface, but then she's saying things like, "I know you are a good man, because you're a Christian." It's nice to read people being super judgy about others because they aren't religious like them. /sarcasm
Anyway, not worth my effort for a more detailed review, but this felt like a chore to read and I DNFed it about 40% through.
