My Review

My Thoughts on On Track for Love: Mhmm, that was a train wreck! Sweet and spunky Cara, cute and motherless Lacy, and stubborn and strong Landry. I loved the interactions between Lacy and Cara though most ended badly for Cara.

My Thoughts on Mistaken Marshall: This was a wonderful story! I read the author’s previous works and loved them, the humorous and sometimes sarcastic remarks with the growing faith of the characters. And the small bits of action make this a need to read western!

My Thoughts Rocky Mountain Regrets: For all the sweetness from the other novellas in this collection this one was sad. So sad! Overall it was a really good story and I enjoyed the plot.

My Thoughts Love Conquers Oil: Woah, this was one gusher of a story. 😉  (Tired of the cliche remarks yet?) Anyway, this was hilarious! And laugh out loud funny. I love Levi’s marriage allegories, though I wondered how his wife would have liked it.

All right, so all of that nonsense to say; READ THE BOOK!!! It’s a wonderful collection of stories and I’m sure you’ll enjoy them . . . That is, if you enjoy romance. Hey, you might even enjoy it if you don’t like romance but that’s not all that likely – I take it back only read it if you like romances that way you can’t blame me if you don’t like it. Yeah, whatever, read it or don’t. I enjoyed it and you might too!

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review all the thoughts are my own and I am truly happy to provide it.
