BRIDES OF THE WEST

Josie's Wedding Dress by Victoria Bylin


Desperate for someone to help her save her ranch, Josie Bright makes a deal with Ty Donner. Now the man who'd left her waiting at the altar is making her hope for things she had long stopped wishing for.

Last Minute Bride by Janet Dean

Elise Langley was stung to the quick when her would-be suitor suddenly left town. But when David Wellman returns and they are thrown together organizing their friends' wedding, can she open her heart again?

Her Ideal Husband by Pamela Nissen

As a girl, Lydia Townsend hoped to marry Jebediah Gentry—until his rejection spoiled her dreams. When family duty brings her home, it's Jeb's chance to show Lydia that now is the time for her wedding dreams to come true.

My Review:

This is one of the best novella collections I've ever read. Each story is well-written, filled with engaging characters and a heart-stopping plot. They may be shorter than the usual romance novel, but they still pack the same punch! That takes infinite talent to accomplish.

Most novellas I have read overlap characters and setting, each story feeding into the next one but the stories in Brides of the West aren't connected in any way, other than the recurring theme of a second chance at love in the West. It works really well, and I enjoyed the uniqueness of each story. And -- bonus for Janet Dean fans (of which I am one) because Last Minute Bride is a continuation of her Love Inspired historical novel, Wanted: a Family.
