Baby on Her Doorstep

Though I began by being interested in the MC, Laura Lee, I soon had major issues with the plot and the historical details. I had a hard time believing a farmer prosperous enough to hire all his help would at the same time be unable to add on another small bedroom to his house over the summer at some point. I found the situation of women wearing his trousers to be odd and unlikely, as too-large trousers would surely have been less modest than one's own dress for horseback, and definitely would be scandalous in town (most especially as a single woman living in a single man's house and borrowing his attire).

Then the juvenile hemming and hawing about whether or not to commit to each other and the modern attitudes toward customs, as well as the modern phrases that occasionally slipped in, was enough to deprive me of a “time-travel” experience and to drop my rating.
