* I loved the first book in the 2-book series, Hero of the Flint Hills, & I enjoyed this book but not quite as much. This book was very predictable & I expected a big confrontation with the bad guy but there wasn't one. The ending was way too rushed, I really wanted to see more of Christian's reaction. I had hoped to some of Emily's family since they really grew on me in the first book but the only one's you see are Lynette & Christian. This book gave me a few laughs & the passion was great but there wasn't a whole lot more to it. Because I love the first book so much I will recommend this series.

This was a nice read, but somewhat lacking in depth that creates strong emotion to the reader. I read this first and I will not read the prequel, Hero of Flint Hills, as I will donate this book to our library in hopes others will enjoy it more than I did.

Flint Hills Bride was the funniest romance novel I have ever read! The teasing back and forth couldn't have been better. After reading so many other novels where the heorine is in constant turmoil and upset, it was great to be able to laugh for a change.
