5.0 out of 5 stars This Novella reads like one big story! Wonderful book., March 8, 2006

This review is from: Kansas Brides: Stranger's Bride/Never a Bride/Bittersweet Bride/His Brother's Bride (Heartsong Novella Collection) (Paperback)
From the back of book: Is marriage their answer? On the historic plains, four women find someone to marry. Will these brides blossom like sunflowers in the prairie heat or wither under the pressures of marriage? Is it really love when...

Sara's trying to escape an abusive stepfather, and her groom marries to please his father?

Jane wonders if the marriage proposal she's received is Luke's reaction to the love he just lost - Jane's own sister?

Mara collects suitors like some women collect teacups - though not the one man she really wants?

Emily says "I do" with the dream of having children but finds her husband has no such desire?

Will these marriages ripen to a full harvest of love or will they produce chaff scattered on the wind? Can these women trust God to orchestrate their lives and loves?

The thing that I really enjoyed about this collection of stories is that it really read like one BIG story. The storyline from the previous story carries over to the next. It makes it a very satisfying read. You really feel like you are in Cedar Springs, Kansas and walk away feeling these people are your friends.

This review is from: Kansas Brides: Stranger's Bride/Never a Bride/Bittersweet Bride/His Brother's Bride (Heartsong Novella Collection) (Paperback)
This book was a hard to put down book. I would buy books by this author again. Good for a church bookstore. Clean romance.

This review is from: Kansas Brides: Stranger's Bride/Never a Bride/Bittersweet Bride/His Brother's Bride (Heartsong Novella Collection) (Paperback)
I enjoyed the book over all, but I wasn't too keen on the third story. She was not the character I would have wanted to be the heroine, but Denise Hunter handled that well and I found myself, if not liking her at least accepting her. Aside from that I loved it. Would like to read more books by Hunter.
