"A volatile feud. Opal Speck knows good and well that the longstanding feud between her family and the Grogans makes for volatile relations. So when Adam Grogan--the man who saved her life two years ago--comes chasing after a stray cow on Speck property, there's no way her family will forgive him for tresspassin'. A desperate declaration. Determined to keep bloodshed at bay, Opal blurts out the one declaration she knows will stop them in their tracks: Adam's the father of her unborn child! A gunpoint decision. Adam has two choices: deny the involvement with Opal and die at the hands of her family, or accept the slur to his name and marry a gal who's trying to pass off another man's child as his! Can a gunshot wedding be the way God will end the hatred between these two feuding families? Or will its repercussions fuel an already blazing animosity?"--Page 4 of cover.

After reading an ARC version of the first book in the Prairie Promises Series, “The Bride Bargain”, I was confused at two name changes, but that happens and it is my on fault for getting distracted and forgetting that had been an advanced reader copy before final edits.
In this story once again readers are treated with descriptions of food and cooking of recipes on the prairie that bring interest and cause a mouth to water. There were more in the first book, yet this one also offered descriptions of bee-keeping that I never knew before or rather had even thought to ask. It was fascinating.
This book brought a much deeper intrigue for me than the first as I honestly had no clue what would happen in the end of of any of the twists and turns to get there. That impresses me in a novel. I enjoyed picking up on the lives of characters I had met in the first book of the series and applaud Kelly's descriptions of their inner thoughts through what could only be reference as difficult situations. Scripture lessons on life and shocking surprises are woven through the page of this novel and I look forward to the final installment of the trilogy and of more to come from author Kelly Eileen Hake in the future.
