I loved this collection! I love the range of characters and the sassy women that sprung up! There was just the right amount of faith injected into the pages that it felt like a Christian romance and not a preacher. Perfect to read to wind down.

What a fun bunch of sweet, romantic, Christian Westerns. I was not familiar with some of the authors and I love when I get to read and enjoy someone new. Each story had there own setting and a wonderful variety of characters. As the title points out, each of are brides marry a law man. None of them quit new what they were getting into. I found each of the stories to be fun and exciting with a little adventure. But not too heavy. I received a copy of the book from Barbour Books through NetGalley. The opinions in this review are my own.

I love almost all of the Christian Fiction novella collections I can get my hands on. My overflowing bookshelf is a testament to that for sure!
I adore stories of mistaken identity which is why I think Mistaken Mashall was probably my favorite. Closely followed by On Track for Love. Rocky Mountain Regrets had a twist that I wasn't expecting and I am sorry to say that Love Concours Oil dragged a bit for me.
Overall, it was a wonderful book by some of my favorite authors. I highly recommend!

Such a creative quartet of historical faith-influenced romances, set in the American West. Another win for Barbour, another delight for the reader! 5/5

What a fun collection of stories! These stories are sweet and entertaining. Even though the stories are shorter, they seem complete. This is a good lineup of authors and I’ll be looking forward to reading more from them. Another great collection of stories from Barbour!

I received an ARC of this book from Barbour Publishing, Inc. via NetGalley, this review is my personal opinion.
This collection truly takes me by surprise, each one of them is so well written. From the first chapter of the first story, I knew this was a winner we have an adventure, a second chance faith-filled and romance. I had a great time while reading this book I even cry a bit. Each one of this story well takes you to four different places to an unexpected journey. If you are like me that loves historical fiction, wants to read a clean and lovely story with great characters this collection no doubt is for you. Well done to all the writers of this collection, you all did a great job.
Truly grateful to Barbour Publishing for the ARC of this book.
