Thoughts

Each of these novellas are sweet, with spunky women, strong male leads, and humorous plots you’ll be swept into a romantic story that closes happily. My favorite of the stories is Pistol-Packin’ Bride with Ben’s three sets of parents, two gunshots, and the attempted kidnapping. This is a one of a kind story that pulls you right in. Each of these historical stories are a need to read for romance, western, and comedy lovers.
Rating: 4 stars.
Recommendation: 16 up.
