4.0

Quick little romance set in the time of the Oregon Trail. Amity is planning to go out west to be with her aunt and uncle, but her gambling husband not only manages to get himself killed, but also gambles off the oxen and wagon that Amity was going to use to take them across the country.

In desperation, because she can't be a single woman traveling, she gets one of the single men to marry her. So, of course, they are chaste around each other though she keeps looking at his body and he does the same to hers, the whole trip.

Not an instant romance, but a slow burn. One of the little things I liked was that she wore bloomers because she had read about them, and realized they were more practical for the trip.

Thanks to netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
