My Review - Whispers on the Prairie



WHISPERS ON THE PRAIRIE by Vickie McDonough was so entertaining I couldn’t put it down.

Sarah Marshall finds herself in quite a predicament.  By no choice of her own, she has left Chicago and will accompany her Aunt and Uncle in a wagon train headed out on the Santa Fe Trail.  Already disliking the untamed West, she can’t believe the men are so uncivilized as to run a woman down and leave her in the mud.  But that’s just what Ethan Harper did.  Then, when the wagon train stops at the Harper Stage Stop, she has another encounter with Ethan Harper.  Glad to be able to put him behind her, she is horrified by the events that unfold that lead her back to the Harper home where Ethan and his two other brothers, all of marrying age, see her as the solution to their problems.  

Ethan Harper continues to blame himself for the death of his brother’s wife.  And though he feels drawn to Sarah, he thinks she would be perfect for his brother Aaron, and would maybe free him of his guilt.  With the way Sarah interacts with Aaron’s two kids, Ethan knows she will make the perfect mother.  But he’s having a hard time letting go of the feelings he has for her.

The magnetism pulling Sarah to Ethan is beyond her control.  She can’t understand why she is so drawn to him.  But she must decide for the sake of her future and the future of her Aunt if she’s willing to accept a marriage proposal, even if it’s not from Ethan. 

I really enjoyed WHISPERS ON THE PRAIRIE.  The attraction between Sarah and Ethan was almost palatable.  And the Harper brothers were tough yet tender.  I will definitely be looking for more books from Ms. McDonough.
