Summary: okay
Review: I liked it and I didn't. It seemed pretty good at first. I thought that it would be a sweet romance. But the guy happens to meet the girl, he's attracted to her, and they become friends. At least a couple of time before she's married Archibald, the guy asks her to marry him. She says no and wonders if she made a mistake. Well, shortly after the "marriage" things change and the guy offers again. This time Sara accepts. Eventually they end up together and it's like he's a different character. He acts like he was trapped and had no choice. It just seemed inconsistent and bothered me. Maybe I missed something crucial. Anyway, I've liked their other books much more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FINALLY A CLEAN FANCIFULL ROMANCE
Review: I loved the characters of Jericho Wilde and Sara Young.

Naive, touchingly innocent for all of Sara's claims to being practical and knowledgeable?

Such a wonderful break from all of the PMS of the run of the mill romance stories. I can't remember why it took me so long to read it. This book is a keeper for my library.

Titus Smithers lends just enough lite level villianry to be a distraction and reason for Jericho and Sara to meet. Now Rafe Turbyfill and Ivadelle Moyer, that was a twosome that left me grinning and questioning their reasons for being there.

I must say that I will continue to collect all of their works since reading The Warfield Bride and continue to wish they would enlarge on those brothers. But there is no accounting for the way these authors come up with their subject matter.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- I suggest that you will still enjoy this book.

Summary: Really nice
Review: This starts off like a "cinderella" tale - wicked step-mother, evil step-brother, with Sara working herself to the bone to keep them fed. She inherits a sum of money, and decides to make a new start. She offers marriage to a peddler by way of a telegram, and offers to meet him at a Halfway House. While waiting for her groom, she meets Jericho, and that's where the story changes. I have to say that Sara is imminently practical, sensible and extremely, extremely naive. Jericho is gruff, tough and has trouble expressing himself in terms of flowery compliments. I thoroughly enjoyed the character's interaction, although I had a problem with the villain. He served no real purpose, except in providing a link between the characters, and a reason for Jericho to be at the Halfway House. The necessity of the villain's appearance at the end also seemed unnecessary, and he could quite easily have died earlier in the book. However, this was still an enjoyable read, with good humour broadly interspersed throughout the book.
