4 out of 5 stars
THE ICECUTTER’S DAUGHTER by Tracie Peterson is a warm
romance with characters you can’t help but like.
Merrill Krause has been outnumbered her entire life. Caring for her brothers and her father hasn’t
left her with much time for self, but she doesn’t mind. She loves working alongside her brother’s, and
caring for her father’s horses brings her joy.
But, sometimes Merrill wonders what it would be like to have a suitor
pursue her, that is, if they could get past her imposing brothers determined to
protect her.
Rurik Jorgenson has come to help his Uncle Carl in his
furniture business. When he meets
Merrill he is immediately intrigued. She
is strong and independent, and unlike any woman he’s ever known. Spending time helping her brother’s bring in
the ice harvest is his excuse to be near Merrill and soon their attraction for
each other grows. But when Rurik’s
previous fiancée comes to town making outrageous claims against Rurik, his
relationship with Merrill is threatened.
I thoroughly enjoyed THE ICECUTTER’S DAUGHTER. Merrill is a strong character and Rurik is genuine
and kind. I loved watching their
relationship develop. The secondary
characters in the book added to my overall enjoyment of the story. As some have said, the story might have been
predictable, but there were a few twists I didn’t expect. Next up, THE QUARRYMAN’S BRIDE.
