A marriage in name only.

After losing her husband on the Oregon Trail, Audrey is being forced to go back home and marry a man her father has chosen. Still grieving her husband, and not wanting to leave her new home in Oregon, she makes the decision to marry a man who needs her help looking after his daughter - a marriage he has said will be in name only.

Reid Wallace lost his wife during childbirth and has been raising his two year old daughter alone. His heart died with his wife, and he has vowed to never love again. The new couple will go up against a father determined to have the marriage annulled and take her home, illness, insecurity, and guilt as their hearts struggle with the new feelings they are uncovering.

Will they be able to overcome everything that seems to be working to destroy the future they are building together? And, can they help each other heal the pain in their hearts, while finding a way to love again?

    5.0 out of 5 stars IF THERE WERE EVER TWO HEARTS AND SOULS WHO NEEDED ONE ANOTHER, IT WAS THEIRS
    Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I found book two in the Oregon Sky Series to be very enjoyable, and it will read well as a standalone. It does have many of the people that are introduced in book one, Phoebe’s Promise. Audrey Thomsen lost her childhood sweetheart and husband, Pete, during the wagon train trek to Oregon to Cholera but continued on the journey, selling her wagon and staying with Phoebe and Grace. She left Kentucky because her father was trying to force a marriage to a man he made a contract with, Frank Hillman.

    Widower, Reid Wallace cannot get past his wife’s death during childbirth, even though he has a precious daughter, Sophia, and he needs a wife to help him to mother her and take care of the home. For Audrey to stay in Oregon, a mutual agreement is made with Reid that they will marry in name only, and it will be a marriage of convenience. Audrey’s father is furious and determined that he will take her back to Kentucky, and she will be forced to honor his contract with Frank. To him, she is no more than a pawn for him to gain status and her feelings do not matter.

    The plot of the story is full of memories, angst, emotions and harrowing adventures of life and death. To what lengths will a person go to have their way? The dialog and thoughts of both Reid and Audrey are emotional as they try to deal with their situation and question their betrayal to their respected late spouses. This is a clean romance with lots of emotional baggage, memories, and new beginnings. Two people must say goodbye to their former lives and mates and open their hearts to the future and happiness. “I was meant to find you, so you could save me.” The story does not end on a cliffhanger, but one can see several promising future stories in this series.

    Another outstanding book written by Kay P. Dawson!! I loved the first book in this series about traveling to Oregon, and I was definitely looking forward to following the main characters. When I started this particular book, I was overjoyed reading about one of my favorite ladies from book one, Audrey. Audrey caught my attention in the first book because she was a newlywed that was escaping from a father that was "selling" her for his own needs. Sadly, her new husband died shortly after the trip to Oregon began. Audrey was strong enough to continue the trek on her own and begin her life as a widow. This book also showed what a strong, but loving, man can be like after losing his own wife in childbirth. Can this couple join together to make a long, happy marriage; or can a father, with a signed contract to a wealthy man, continue to control his daughter's life when the two men arrive in the small Oregon community? Can a rich girl really love being a farmer's wife? How far will a step-mother go to save the lives of her new toddler daughter and husband from a deranged man that has decided he is in control and only his desires matter? Once started, I could not stop reading this book! I fell in love with all the characters and am definitely looking forward to more great books by this terrific author. I highly recommend this book, and this series, for all age groups.

    What a sweet historical romance! No sex, only a smattering of cussing, and the plot was interesting. The characters were believable and likable. The twists in the story were also well done. If you’re looking for a sweet historical romance without graphic scenes, this could be a good book for you.

    I enjoyed this story. It has some sad moments but some very happy moments too. Their love blossomed slowly and the ending is very touching. I liked how they gave each other space to grieve but also to cherish the memories of their respective spouse's. I would have rated it higher but there was an incident where the author used Lord (as in God) as an expletive. That makes me uncomfortable. There are so many other words authors could use. It spoils good writing imo.

    Bethany, Oregon, USA, 19.Jahrhundert: Audrey Harrington entstammt der Oberschicht, doch die Oberflächlichkeit und der Konkurrenzkampf der jungen Frauen um den reichsten Junggesellen sind ihr ein Gräuel. Ohnehin hat Audrey ihr Herz längst vergeben – an Pete Thomsen, den Sohn einer armen Bauernfamilie. Natürlich ist ihr Vater mit der Verbindung nicht einverstanden und verlobt sie gegen ihren Willen mit dem reichen Frank Hamilton.

    Da Audrey Frank nicht heiraten möchte, reißt sie mit Pete von zu Hause aus. Das Paar heiratet und macht sich auf den gefährlichen Oregon Trail, um sich im Nordwesten der USA niederzulassen. Noch während der wochenlangen Reise kommt Pete bei einem Unfall ums Leben. Audrey gewinnt in ihrer neuen Heimat, dem kleinen Städtchen Bethany, bald neue Freunde. Trotzdem kündigt ihr Vater an, sie ehebaldigst nach Hause zu holen, damit sie wie geplant Frank heiratet.

    Als Audrey kurz vor der Ankunft ihres Vaters die zweijährige Sophia vor dem Ertrinken rettet, macht ihr deren verwitwete Vater Reid ein Angebot zu beiderseitigem Nutzen: Sie soll ihn heiraten, damit Sophia eine Mutter bekommt. Dafür beschützt die neue Ehe sie vor ihrem Vater und dessen sinistren Plänen. Kurz nach der Hochzeit kommt ihr Vater tatsächlich an – gemeinsam mit Frank Hamilton - und versucht, Audreys Ehe annulieren zu lassen.

    „Audrey's Awakening“ ist der zweite Teil der „Oregon Sky“-Reihe. Wie der erste Teil hat mir auch der zweite sehr gut gefallen, denn er ist gut geschrieben und mit sehr gut ausgearbeiteten Protagonisten besetzt. Viele Protagonisten aus dem Vorgänger- bzw. dem Nachfolgeband spielen in diesem Buch eine wichtige Rolle, was mich sehr freut, weil ich immer gerne erfahre, wie es mit den Figuren, die man beim Lesen ins Herz geschlossen hat, weitergeht. Mir hat die Geschichte gut gefallen, sodass ich auch den dritten Band gekauft und ebenso gerne gelesen habe.
