Kindle Edition, 302 pages Published October 31st 2015 by Trail House Publishers
The one room
schoolhouse isn’t big enough to hold thirty-four students, let alone the egos
of two teachers. He can’t afford to lose the position, and she refuses to lose
her heart.
Humiliated after her broken engagement, Claire Montgomery
flees her comfortable life in San Francisco for a teaching position in Pine
Creek, Washington, a dot of a town nestled in the rugged Cascade Mountains.
She’s determined to succeed—for once in her life—only to discover, upon her
arrival, that success will have to be won. Thanks to a school board error, two
teachers have been hired.
When scandal forces professor Barrett Clarke from his
position, he returns to Pine Creek where his uncle, chairman of the school
board, sets forth an irresistible offer: teach one year in return for
ranchland. For this would-be rancher, nothing is more tempting than
resurrecting his childhood dream, and nothing can deter him from earning that
land.
Except perhaps Claire Montgomery. Losing the battle for the
classroom means losing the ranchland, but winning may mean losing Claire’s
heart.
My Review ~ 4 STARS
I finally got around
to reading a book by Sondra Kraak and I can certainly see why so many readers adore
her books. One Plus One Equals Trouble is filled with spunk and sass and lots
of laughs, while at the same time a longing for acceptance and grace is woven throughout.
Some of the vernacular and ideas seem a bit contemporary but the story still
resonates a lovely historical romance.
I bought my Kindle copy back in 2016. That's how long it sometimes takes me to get around to reading a book that I buy. It's FREE on KU right now if you subscribe.
Have you read any of Sondra's books? Let me know in the comments.
Have a blessed day in the Lord,
It's great that you finally got around to reading this book. It sounds like a nice book to read. Thanks for the lovely blog visit and have a happy Thanksgiving.
