Pattern for Romance by Carla Olson Gade

Having read one book in the Quilts of Love series, I was really excited to read another book in this series.  The cover of this book was so simple, yet beautiful.  I think that's part of what draws me to these books.

 

The historical context of this book really highlights the amount of research that the author did in order to write this book.  Her wording throughout this book makes you feel like you have stepped into a different era.

 

Set in 1769, you are first introduced to Honour Metcalf who is in a hailstorm and is in need of being rescued.  Joshua rescues her and continues to do so throughout the book.  However, Honour isn't always happy about her rescue.  She would rather do things on her own and in her own way in some instances.  Joshua is the constant person in her life who is there to offer protection, but she doesn't always want that.

 

The quilt comes into play when she is asked to make a bridal quilt.  That alone brings on its own set of problems.  Anything is possible with a knight in shining armor by your side, though, right?!
