Harrison Gray and Charlotte Andrews get caught in a storm. After he loses his glasses in her barn they find themselves stuck together in her root cellar. They both realize feelings they thought they had pushed aside years ago are bubbling to the surface. The storm subsides and they go looking for his glasses only to discover them crushed in his horse's stall. Charlie determines to become his assistant at the school where he teaches until new glasses can arrive which forces them to spend even more time together. But, she has committed herself to another in order to save her father's farm. Working through their issues is a nice little story of people coming together in God's perfect timing.

Originally released in the book With THIS Ring? - A Historical Romance 4 Novella Collection but each story is also available as a separate download.

Gifted by a friend. My opinion is my own.

Sassy Charlotte--aka Charlie Andrews--can out-shoot, out-ranch, out-smart, and out-maneuver any man hands down! Harrison Gray; a quiet, unassuming, glasses-wearing teacher has always admired her from afar. When a tornado throws these two together, there's more than storm clouds brewing!

The author's wit and humor with underlying romance in the mix makes for one wild ride of a story. Along with quirky characters, a strong love for God and small town living, it will leave you wanting more; don't miss this one!

What a unique and absolutely wonderful novella this was! The author did such a good job at creating two characters who have flaws, but are utterly likable, as well. Harrison and Charlotte (Charlie) have great chemistry, a problematic history, and I had to laugh at the fact that their first kiss wasnt all that great for them! I really enjoyed this story and loved watching these two characters grow so much from beginning to end.

I am really looking forward to the first book in this author's upcoming Teaville Moral Society series, as it will have a character who is introduced in this novella. I think she will have a very interesting story.
