This book is packed with adventure, danger, hardship and romance. If you like historical romances set during the wagon train days, you will love this book. It has nine different stories by nine different authors that are well written and hold your attention. This book was an absolute joy to read and I found a few new-to-me authors. Thank you Barbour Publishing via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

I want more of this book! Every story was magnificent. I loved the characters and the endurance each character had to endure on their way out West. My favorite are the ones who went on the wagon trains for months. The stories include enduring deadly weather, Indians and sickness. The romance in each story was so perfect, each one romance faced trials most couldn’t endure in our time. It was so hard to put this book down, each story left me thinking on them. The anticipation of picking the book back up to finish was so great! A great collection of authors that certainly brought their best in each story. I’m so in love with this book and would love another book by these same authors!
Was given a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

Oh my!! All of my favorite authors in one book!! Just amazing that's what that is!!
I can't imagine what it would be like to travel day after day and doing all the necessary chores to keep everyone fed and happy at the same time!! It wears me out just thinking about it!!
I wanted to read each story one day at a time but I ended up reading them at once cause I just couldn't help myself they were all so very good!!
I really recommend this book!! If you're like me u won't want to put it down!!
My thanks to Netgalley NO compensations were received. All opinions are my own!

These nine stories of life on the Oregon Trail were very good. I enjoyed the details of the different parties as they traveled across the country, with good and bad experiences they had to endure. Life and death happened.
Some of these stories have stuck with me perhaps to do being educated on the facts that I had not read before. One morning I told my husband one of the whole stories at breakfast and he liked it too!
I highly recommend this book if you enjoy historical Christian fiction like I do.

The Oregon Trail Romance Collection is a collection of 9 Christian love stories set in the mid-1850s on the dangerous and exciting Oregon Trail. Each story is roughly 50 pages long and is written by a different author.
I am typically not a reader of short stories. I prefer a longer book so there is more opportunity to develop the characters and the plot. But I really enjoyed reading this book. I find this time period extremely exciting — the Oregon Trail, wagon trains, the forts, such as Fort Laramie, that they stop at along the way, the dangers they encounter. I enjoyed every story without exception in this book, and when I finished one, I looked forward to the next. I think they were all very well written, and I thought that each author did a great job of developing an interesting, unique, and exciting plot in a relatively short story.
