Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In 1849, Sarah Hancock finds herself agreeing to her dying mother's wish that she marry her childhood friend Adam Rutledge. The problem is that while she loves Adam as a friend, it isn't the kind of love she'd dreamed of, the kind her parents had. After her mother's death, Sarah reluctantly leaves New Haven, Conn., and travels to Fort Charles, a remote outpost in Indian territory where Adam is stationed as an army captain. Sarah soon questions the wisdom of her promise when Adam's tyrannical aunt, "the Mrs. Colonel," finds her totally unsuitable and demands that she behave in a manner more befitting a proper army life. All seems despair, until handsome army scout Orion Beaudine appears on the scene. It's love at first sight, but Wulf (The Irish Rose) takes far too long getting the two together. Eventually it develops into a satisfying romance, but readers will feel that they didn't have enough time with the main love interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jessica Wulf's Beaudine Brothers are wonderful!, February 13, 2002

This review is from: Hunter's Bride (Paperback)

I rarely give any book 5 stars that doesn't make me still love the characters years later. But Hunter's Bride was wonderful. I still remember all the characters and how Orion and Sarah met.

Jessica Wulf's is a writer of sparking memories and dreams.

I fell in love with Orion and his brothers, and reading it was like I was right there with them, I was so caught up in the story. Orion and his brothers, especially Grey Eagle are men to love and dream about.

Sarah Hancock abides her dying mother's wish to go out west and marry her best childhood friend, Adam, for convenience. But once she gets out there, she finds it difficult to be the dutiful wife of an army officer, and the daughter-in-law of an army family. She becomes friends with army scout Orion when his pet wolf Dancer scares off her horse and an instantaneous spark of friendship and love strikes, to the horrified chagrin of her in-laws and future husband. It seems the more her future in-laws and husband warn her to stay away from the rugged handsome scout the more Sarah and Orion become closer. It's a wonderful book and if you can find it ANYWHERE, I suggest you read this and fall in love with it's characters, Sarah, Orion and his brothers.

5.0 out of 5 stars ~~A surprise favorite!!!~~, June 14, 2001

Lena Kendrick-Varnell (Knoxville, TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hunter's Bride (Paperback)

I must admit I was skeptical at first...I had never heard of Jessica Wulf until I found Hunter's Bride in a bargain bin at my local bookstore. Being an avid reader of romance and always looking for a new book, I bought it and took it home. This book was better than any Jude Deveraux book, Julie Garwood, or Nora Roberts I had ever read!! I was amazed! The book is fabulous. I fell in love with Orion Beaudine and his brothers, and I felt a kinship with Sarah, the heroine, as no other before. I was instantly captiveted, and the book kept my interest the whole way through. Through hardship after hardship, through predjudice and spite, the two prove that love does conquer all! I cried when i finished this book because i wanted to read more. So I found Grey Eagle's Bride, another in the trilogy of the Beaudine Brothers. I have yet to read Joseph's bride but I can't wait!!! My new favorite author took Jude Deveraux's place and I am waiting anxiously for her next books!

Orion Beaudine, what a character. Everyone I speak with falls in love with Orion. What a match in terms of hero and heroine... Words could not express the deep romantic love between these two. All the characters you can relate with. You won't be able to put this book down. I loved this book...
