But, again, I enjoy LLM's style of writing in her western romances. I enjoyed Rafe and Emmeline much more in this story than I did in High Country Bride, a book I didn't really care for. I think she does a very clever job of it. I read this book in one sitting and while it is a rather lengthy book, I think some of it could have been edited out. There seemed a lot going on with a lot of different people and I didn't feel as if there was enough time spent on Kade and Mandy.
I'm disappointed with this book & hoping Secondhand Bride & McKettrick's Choice will be better since I've already purchased them. I've read other books by Ms. Miller (Corbin's Fancy & Yankee Wife) and I smiled & laughed throughout the books thoroughly enjoying the interaction between the two main characters, but not this time.
There is no real love story. YIKES.
BIG ERROR on the Auther's part. MAIN problem I had with this book, Kade was thoughtful, caring, sweet, mild mannered, a book worm actually, the peace maker of the family in the first book HIGH COUNRTY BRIDE, In this book he is a marshal, pig headed, rude, thoughtless and childish.
I have read more romance novels that I can count and I think this was the VERY worst. This was the first novel I have read where I didn't like the female lead.
I am going to read the 3rd in this series on the hope that Miller gets her act together. I had to force myself to finish it.
The plot is unbelievable and lacks depth.
Be sure to follow up with SECONHAND BRIDE and MCKETTRICK'S CHOICE. Arizona territory, 1885SHOTGUN BRIDE is a terrific McKettrick Cowboys sequel to HIGH COUNTRY BRIDE.
Alot of the series books don't include anyone from the first and I liked that these ones do. I really enjoyed this book as much as the first. The one thing I really did like about this series is that you still read about the whole family.
