Lacy Williams captured my interest immediately with the plight of both the hero and heroine as they leave with their families。 Evangeline travels with her little sister and her father。 She comes from a wealthy background in Boston but convinced her father starting over in Oregon would resolve her issues with being shunned by society。Leo Mason is the oldest of a hodgepodge set of siblings。 He sacrificed his dreams and desires to raise his siblings after his stepfather and his mother died。 When hi Lacy Williams captured my interest immediately with the plight of both the hero and heroine as they leave with their families。 Evangeline travels with her little sister and her father。 She comes from a wealthy background in Boston but convinced her father starting over in Oregon would resolve her issues with being shunned by society。Leo Mason is the oldest of a hodgepodge set of siblings。 He sacrificed his dreams and desires to raise his siblings after his stepfather and his mother died。 When his youngest half brother does something （we never found out what it was） which forced the family to start over by heading west。The tension between the wealthy， bookish Evangeline and the poor， hardworking Leo starts from their first interaction。 As they get to know each other and as Leo’s siblings help Evangeline learn the skills she needs to survive on the wagon train， the romance develops。I love the way Williams slowly revealed Evangeline’s secret throughout the book， although I guessed it early on。 The downside was that Williams never revealed exactly what happened that caused Leo and his siblings to leave。 She danced around the topic and gave some hints， but I’m assuming she intends to reveal this later in the series。 Despite not knowing， it did not detract from the overall storyline。Williams also introduced a third point of view， one of Leo’s younger brothers about a third of the way through the book。 While his point of view did not advance the story between Evangeline and Leo， it does clearly set up for the second book in the series， especially with the cliffhanger final chapter。 I found his point of view blended well with the overall theme of the wagon train setting。In the end， the romance and satisfying conclusion delighted me。 I think fans of clean historical romance will love this enemies-to-friends opposites-attract romance。Genre: Christian Historical Romance， Clean Historical Romance， Wagon Train RomanceLocation: Wagon Train Trail from Independence， Missouri to OregonTime Period: estimated 1860s / 1870sRomance: Very clean。 Light kissing。Faith: Light。 Talk about church and hymns。Disclaimer: I requested and received an advanced copy of this book courtesy of the publisher。 I was not required to give a favorable review。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

This is the first book in a new series by Lacy Williams – Wagon Train Matches。 There’s a lot of tension between a lot of characters in this book for various reasons – losing parents at an early age， running away from problems in the past， misunderstandings and miscommunications， trying to deny mutual attractions， and the list goes on and on。 Williams does pretty well at keeping the tension from making me give up on the story （I’m not a fan of a lot of tension in a book）， and things slowly get so This is the first book in a new series by Lacy Williams – Wagon Train Matches。 There’s a lot of tension between a lot of characters in this book for various reasons – losing parents at an early age， running away from problems in the past， misunderstandings and miscommunications， trying to deny mutual attractions， and the list goes on and on。 Williams does pretty well at keeping the tension from making me give up on the story （I’m not a fan of a lot of tension in a book）， and things slowly get sorted out as the wagon train makes its way west。 I like the characters - their interactions， their secrets， their personal growth; and I like how the plot plays out。 Be warned that Williams ends the book with a cliff hanger！ Hopefully the next book will be out before too long。 。。。more

Wagon train experiences are fraught with danger and challenges。 This story tells of both。 I read this book so quickly because it captured my attention and then characters were very realistic！ I have many pioneer ancestors and after reading their stories， I felt like I was once again reading another one！ Leo has so much on his shoulders。 He feels he is about to break。 His siblings are depending on his but what about what he wants？ Then there is Evangeline。 One mistake in her past is the reason sh Wagon train experiences are fraught with danger and challenges。 This story tells of both。 I read this book so quickly because it captured my attention and then characters were very realistic！ I have many pioneer ancestors and after reading their stories， I felt like I was once again reading another one！ Leo has so much on his shoulders。 He feels he is about to break。 His siblings are depending on his but what about what he wants？ Then there is Evangeline。 One mistake in her past is the reason she is on this wagon train。 An injury to her father changes everything and now she needs Leo's help to continue the journey。 She doesn't want his help but can't continue without it。 I really enjoyed the recounting of everyday life on the trail。 It was long and tedious， not to mention dangerous。 I so admire the people that did it！ I can't wait for the next book because this one ended on a cliffhanger！ 。。。more

This is a great start to a new series from Lacy Williams， and I am already wanting more。 First of all， I played Oregon Trail when I was a kid， and while this isn't the game obviously， reading it brought back fond memories which made the experience all the more enjoyable。 Aside from that， Williams is a great author。 She writes realistic plot lines， wonderful characters， and held my attention throughout the entire story。 Even the problems that arose throughout the story were done well - meaning th This is a great start to a new series from Lacy Williams， and I am already wanting more。 First of all， I played Oregon Trail when I was a kid， and while this isn't the game obviously， reading it brought back fond memories which made the experience all the more enjoyable。 Aside from that， Williams is a great author。 She writes realistic plot lines， wonderful characters， and held my attention throughout the entire story。 Even the problems that arose throughout the story were done well - meaning they fit seamlessly， did not feel forced just to make a story。I can't wait for more from this series！ Williams is certainly on my radar and I recommend putting her on yours as well。 I received a complimentary copy of this book。 I was not required to write a favorable review。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more
