GRR Reviews At Liberty to Love (Texas Romance Book by Caryl McAdoo

More adventure than romance, the book is one man's obsession (in a nice way) to let a woman know he loves her and changed his mind about his job, as he managed to chase her across half a continent... And she STILL won't marry him...

Rebecca is a widow who never had any children, regrettably, with her husband. She is determined to travel west to the orphanage operated by some relatives all the way in San Francisco... and adopt one or two kids. She's going by boat down to Panama canal first. On the way, she met Marcus, someone who served with her relative in the War. And he was completely smitten, but he has a teaching position in a college in the Northeast... As soon as they part, he changed his mind... Rebecca is just right for him... But it was too late to get on the same boat. Marcus ended up chasing her, always just a day or three behind, from the coast of Panama all the way to California... And he finally found her. And while they really do feel a lot. Rebecca refused to marry him as she cannot marry a heathen, and he had abandoned God when his wife and child both died during the war...

Oh, the religious message is heavy, and the darkest hour was basically forced upon them. The ONLY solution is a change of heart. This guy basically cannot make a decision at the right time... always "too late". Argh.
