Enjoy this great collection of inspirational, western historical fiction from author favorites while adding new authors to that list. I was familiar with DiAnn Mills' suspense novels and have read Kathleen Y'Barbo's work previously. Now I'll be on the lookout for more from all of these ladies.

Seven unique stories of strong and lovely Texas brides and hearty grooms will delight you. The last few stories center around a family of outlaw brothers. See if and how they reform to claim the women they love.

This set is friendly on the budget and available for your reading pleasure.

I received a complimentary copy of the book without obligation. This review is my opinion.

The Texas Brides Collection contains a number of Texas Ranger stories, but is not limited to the Rangers. All but the last four stories are independent novellas. The last four are centered around four brothers, each one the main character in one of the stories.
If you enjoy the 1800's in Texas, I think you will enjoy these wholesome, happy ending stories

A great collection of short stories about early Texas living, loving and Texas Rangers. Nine different stories by seven different authors that are interesting and sweet! I really enjoyed the stories and was very happy to see some of my favorite authors contributing to the book. A great addition to the Christian romance genre.

A Texas Brides Collection by Darlene Franklin will be available November 1, 2018 from Barbour Books, an imprint of Barbour Publishing. An egalley of this book was made available by the publisher in exchange for a honest review.

The Texas Brides Collection by seven different authors is a set of nine independent stories of brides who never thought they would be brides. Each story is unique and can be read in any order. All are based on Biblical principles and each couple, though many have serious doubts, ends up trusting God completely by the end of their story.
I enjoyed this collection. At the end of some I was left wanting more but I think that happens with short stories. I really get involved in the story line and with the characters and before I know it we have completed our journey. To me that is a plus; a sign of a great author. I give this book 5of 5 stars and believe it will appeal to a wide audience. It will also make a nice gift for the reader in your life.

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! This collection of romance books is super romantic and kept giving me butterflies story after story. My ultimate fave was from Lynette Sowell she made me melt into pieces.

This is a great collection of “Texas Brides” novellas from a powerhouse group of authors. Every story is enjoyable and the characters are varied and interesting. Even though these are shorter stories, they each have a good pace and the endings aren’t rushed. These are just the right length of story to read at times when you want something shorter and lighter to read. I loved reading these novellas from some of my favorite authors.

We went on a long car trip to Washington D.C. this past weekend and the trip didn't even seem long because I had this along with me to read! I love the Collection books by Barbour Publishing. This is one that is being rereleased original publish date 2013. The first half is about Texas Rangers and the second is about outlaws that come to the right side of the law. It is filled with sweet romances that have the lawless coming around to the right side of the law. I love how faith is intertwined in the stories. The ending was sweet as the book comes together with the much needed family reunion.
It's always a pleasure reading Barbour Collections!

The Texas Brides Collection from the Barbour Brides series features 9 couples in the old wild west with its share of lawfulness, lawlessness while trying their share of loneliness. In this collection three Texas Rangers turn from chasing outlaws to courting women who are determined to remain independent. Six outlaws discover that turning into respectable citizens and seek to settle down with a spouse to love is not a rodeo.

As usual, it is difficult to pick a single favourite story. However, I have to say that my favourite scene was in Tamela Murray's  Gamble on Love. I loved the "coffee date"  between Benjamin and Pearl. I loved their sweet and honest couple's conversation.

At the heart of these stories is the theme of grace was quite apparent as most of the characters were struggling with a past downfall or dark secret. I was also entertained with the Texan slang and could at times, read the dialogues with the drawl at the back of my mind.  The Texas Brides Collection is great as a pick-me-up.

Mini review: This was an interesting Historical collection! There were some good stories in it! And I haven't read a lot of historical fiction set in Texas before, so it was neat to get to read these stories because of that. If you think this book sounds interesting, I recommend trying it! :)
