Two historical romance novellas of love on the frontier.


SPUR OF THE MOMENT BRIDE


By an Award-Winning Author

Heiress Abby Hollister’s Papa demands she stop toying with young men’s hearts and marry within a month or be disinherited. After reading an ad for a mail-order bride in untamed Laramie, Wyoming, Abby makes a list of characteristics she expects for her husband and sets off to claim the perfect mate and secure her personal fortune.

Stage coach driver, Zach Tyler likes his exciting job where he outsmarts robbers and Indians and keeps the stage running regardless of weather, break-downs, and ornery passengers. But passenger Abby Hollister proves to be an unusual challenge. He protects her on the journey to Laramie, but in that town women are as scarce as a bird’s nest in a cuckoo clock, and men go crazy when the beauty arrives seeking a husband. 



TEXAS LAW

1879 – San Antonio, Texas. 

Stagecoach robbers steal the mortgage money from Cat Devine, the rancher’s daughter. Cat’s father hires a Pinkerton detective to restore the money and protect his daughter from the disfigured desperado who threatens to kidnap Cat and take her for his woman.

Travis McGuire, the Pinkerton Detective, is a man to be reckoned with. He faces down a flood, gunfights, and Cat’s father. But can he restore Cat’s sullied reputation?

Cat Devine confronts stage robbers, her demanding father, and gossiping neighbors. But can she resist Travis McGuire, a hero with a heart as big as his Texas home. He’s a man who wears a star and upholds his commitment.


Marilyn's thoughts:   The two novellas in Brides of the Wild West are enthralling with the strong heroines and historical adventures.

 

Spur of the Moment Bride found Heiress Abby more determined than ever to find a groom when her father gave her an ultimatum. I enjoyed her strong characteristics and not allowing any man to get her just for her inheritance. The sparks between Zach and Abby was astonishing as Zach was all about adventure.

 

Texas Law found Cat Devine wondering how to tell her father she had spoke out of turn to her dressmaker. The adventure and ride to find the gang members after robbing the stage coach gave way to twists and turns. The ups and downs, secrets and action lead to an exciting read.

 

Both of these historical romance novellas are well written with complex heroines, heroes, action, intrigue, romance and a faith message.

 

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and was under no obligation to write a positive review. I have shared my own opinion.
