Sweet Annie
by Cheryl St. John
Sweet Annie is a book that has been on my TBR shelf at Goodreads for the longest time along with its duo companion novel “His Secondhand Wife” which I will be grabbing up very soon. I have been in sucha mood for a sweet western and this book definitely fit the bill here. I had such a blast with this book and I honestly couldn’t put this sweet romance down at all. Its a story that while there is low heat (which I am totally cool with) the romance is on fire. I really loved the way this story was written and I definitely need to read more of this author. In Sweet Annie we have a story where our heroine was born lame, or rather its difficult for her to walk. Her family is way overprotective and stifling her spirit. And then she meets a boy, and he is sweet and kind and takes her on a ride and she falls for him quickly but her brother is furious and their love is forbidden. But now they are adults, and their love is still vibrant and strong and they are determined to find their own way towards their happily ever after despite the barriers.
Sweet Annie is a story that I was really wondering how it would progress but thankfully the tension of the story isn’t dragged all the way through especially with the conflict dealing with her family and I was thankful for that in many ways. I honestly fell hard for this story here to be honest. Its such a strong yet sweet love story and seeing these two overcome the obstacles was so empowering. I loved how protective Luke is, but always encouraging Annie to LIVE life. Her family while loving her has only harmed her in some ways by treating her as an invalid. When she is anything but. She finds her own path and way and a life worth carving for herself with the man she loves. Seeing Annie and Luke come together and fight for their love was beautiful and inspiring. And you do fall for her family eventually, except her mother, never cared for her at all. But the rest of them did redeem themselves. Definitely eager to see what the next book will bring.
