Hardcover or paperback – which do you prefer and why? I prefer hardcover for books I’m going to
keep forever as they stand the test of time.
I prefer paperback for being more affordable and lighter to hold and
carry. I have a mix of both in my
library.
In Wyoming, the harsh winter of 1887 not only kills
entire flocks of cattle, but beloved family members. Charlotte is haunted that the last words she
with her father were in anger. He wanted
her to marry wealthy lawyer, Lewis Bradley, but she has been in love with her neighbor,
Micah, her entire life. Will Charlotte
and Micah be able to work through their grief and start life anew?
My thoughts on this novel
· Pioneer days and the winter of 1887 are very harsh. It was a very compelling start to this novel.
· I liked how Charlotte and her mother, Lucille, were running a ranch as two women on their own. It was a struggle as they weren’t even allowed to attend meetings as women and also ranch hands did not listen to them.
· Micah deeply struggles with his faith after his father’s suicide. I liked how he and Lucille help each other work on their faith. This novel had deep elements of faith in it and learning to forgive, and not judge others. I really liked this part of the novel.
· The trope in this novel is friends to lovers.
· The characters were interesting and well developed.
· This is the first book in the new “The Hope of Cheyenne” series.
· The bad guy in this novel was someone that the reader will really love to hate. Lewis Bradley wants to marry Charlotte no matter if she wants to or not. It’s not out of love of Charlotte, but out of love for money. I have a feeling he may be back again later in the series.
Overall, A Constant Love by Tracie Peterson is a gripping
novel with captivating characters and a fascinating storyline. I especially liked the faith elements and the
realities of living in 19th century Wyoming.

Heartache has left them emotionally desolate, but traces of love and healing could forge a future.
In the wake of a harsh winter, Micah Hamilton and Charlotte Aldrich are grappling with loss and guilt after the disaster that took the lives of their loved ones. Struggling to cope with his grief, Micah abandons his father's dreams of a prosperous ranch and cuts himself off from the rest of the world.
Charlotte has loved Micah her entire life and is determined not to lose him as well. With her mother's help, she begins coaxing Micah to live again. Despite their enduring heartache, the affection between them deepens, but just as Charlotte thinks her dreams may come true, a scorned suitor threatens everything she holds dear. Micah and Charlotte must embark on a journey of healing and renewal to build a life founded on faith, hope, and love.
A Constant Love is a clean, frontier-era historical romance of heartache, grief, Christian faith, and second chances in the newly developing American West.
