Janie Dunn’s dreams of being an opera singer suddenly dim when, at her dying cousin’s request, she flees Boston with her cousin’s newborn son to protect him from his abusive father. She moves to Kansas to live with her brother, who poses as her husband to protect her identity, lest the baby’s father seek her out. But it’s hard living a lie, even more so the closer she grows to her neighbors on the prairie.

Aaron Harper lost his wife four years ago in a tragic accident. Without a mother to help raise and educate his two children, Aaron sent them to live with his brother and sister-in-law in Windmill, a few hours’ train ride from his family’s homestead, to attend the local school. Yet Aaron regrets seeing his son and daughter so rarely. He yearns to have them under his roof again, but without someone to educate them, it’s an impossible scenario.

Life takes a dire turn for Janie when her brother dies. The Harper family turns out to be the greatest blessing—particularly the handsome Aaron Harper, who keeps the farm running in her brother’s absence. But Janie knows his help is only temporary. Is a marriage of convenience to Aaron Harper the answer to both of their problems? And is Kansas far enough away from Boston that she is safe from the baby’s vengeful father? Or will he come after her and expose the secret she’s worked so hard to conceal?

Vickie McDonough has outdone herself with the final story in the Pioneer Promises trilogy. Song of the Prairie is a heartfelt, heartwarming, and, at times, heartbreaking story of the lengths to which a woman will go to protect a child. Turning the last page was bittersweet for me. Although I sighed in pleasure at the resolution, I wished there were more than three Harper brothers so that I could look forward to another prairie adventure. More, please!

In Song of the Prairie, Vickie McDonough delivers a memorable glimpse into the Old West, with realistic characters, vivid descriptions, and a romance that satisfies. I loved Janie, the courageous heroine who sacrifices so much to protect someone she loves, and Aaron, the strong rancher whose strength Janie comes to rely on. Any reader of historical romance will not only enjoy this book but will love the entire series.
