Rebecca has loved Thaddeus since she was fifteen. Her father's shocking schemes have made her feel tarnished and unworthy. As much as she loves Thaddeus, why would he marry her when he finds out what happened?
A gunsmith, Thaddeus considers himself to be too far beneath her station to be her husband and moves with his family to Montana Territory.
How can they find each other when they’re so far apart? Will they even see each other again? Will he even want her? Can she marry a man who is just a gunsmith?

“I Won’t Marry You” has one scene with sexual activity that occurs on Rebecca and Thaddeus’s wedding night. There are no explicit descriptions of the act or the participants. There is no profanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed.

I read the story, not to criticize grammar or other things.
It was a good story. The person saying it was not Christian, it was on their wedding night, when he was, at her request to help undo her dress, he touched her breast, and she took his hand to cup it. The wedding night was not described, other than their need for each other mentioned. It was very tastefully done.
Only thing I got tired of was how stubborn she was.
Lot of us have problems with grammar/ English, but we have a story to tell, that can easily be understood regardless. For us, we have no idea of all the mistakes made. Why tear an author down over things like that. If you don't like it, then delete it.

Simply written yet covers so much. Her father promised her to an older man -for $$ to pay off his debts. She & her mother left and stayed with her mother's parents. She is kidnapped by 2 men who abuse & assault her. So yes she has a lot of doubts about herself & does not feel worthy for the many she loves.
Worth reading. {after description, it states there is 1 sex scene after they marry but the only thing I could find wrong with it - was just her placing his hand on her breast, he then moves his hand to continue undressing her.}

I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Rebecca and Thaddeus, childhood friends, have fallen in love. Her father thinks Thaddeus beneath her, so he sends her away to school in Switzerland. When she comes home, her father, in exchange for a loan to save his failing business, offers her up to marry a lecherous man older than himself. Rebecca refused and they had her abducted. Thaddeus comes when she's found, but although Thaddeus still loves her, she refuses to marry him after what happened.

I liked the idea behind the story, but the writing was very choppy and repetitive in the descriptions. But most of all, this work needs an editior. I’m not that great at catching mistakes, but I found dozens of them which also made it hard to fall into the story. Find a few friends that will check your work and keep writing!
