I thoroughly enjoyed reading the stories of these nine women and the situations and decisions they face. I enjoyed the historical aspect of the stories as well as I am very much a history buff! I definitely recommend this romance collection for a nice, easy read.

Fluffy, sweet, leading on a rocky road to love....these women must endure many challenges to get to the love desired. I'm not sure I would have the strength to survive in the 1860's and 70's and especially traveling in wagons loaded with all your life's possessions. These women and men must make many sacrifices. I particularly love the novellas set on the Oregon Trail because this was a situation my students often used a computer program to set up a virtual trip on the Oregon Trail with their families. I found it quite fascinating as I observed the choices students made and these couples must do this without the benefit of technology.
These are all authors who are new to me. It was very nice to be introduced to several authors at once in a novella. I am looking forward to reading more from these authors since tasting a bit of their writing styles. With novella collections such as this one, I again found the stories predictable in nature, but that doesn't distract one from enjoying the quick reads. This collection is perfect for vacations or a short break from reality that takes you on a journey filled with stress and romance. What a combination! But isn't that often the way with love?
I am giving this novella collection a rating of 5 stars and highly recommend it to those like to read a clean, sweet story.
