The American Heiress Brides Collection

The American Heiress bride collection was delightful. There are a total of nine stories about a heiress. Each one was a great story and how they found love. Some never looking but found it anyway. All great stories and catches your interest. from the first to the last. The stories are from the 1866 to 1905. It tells there story of wealth and the love to have a marriage of true love.

The American Heiress Brides Collection is such a great olio of novellas, I had a hard time putting it down. Some of the stories had me in tears, some had me laughing out loud, some had me reaching for wishes that I could befriend the protagonists. In each of the narratives, each girl was wealthy, or at least had been wealthy at one time, and she had the challenge of finding a man who would not be gold-digging money-grubber. In many cases, the men had wealth of their own and did not need his bride's money. 

This was a perfect book for my Sunday this past weekend--I spent most of the day in one airport or another, or in one airplane or another, where I had almost unlimited time to read. I was thrilled to have such a good collection of narratives to read. 

Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, and an unexpected inheritance. 

My thanks to Barbour Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book.

With a air of feeling reminiscent of Downton Abbey,  The American Heiress Brides Collection is a perfect book for those who yearn for the Edwardian period--even if the novellas weren't necessarily set in England, the theme of love over money or class distinction over what's in one's heart pervades these stories. Heartwarming and humorous, thought-provoking and tender, The American Heiress collection is one I will be returning to and recommending for others. The beautiful cover is just the beginning to what makes this collection so worthy of reading and keeping on a bookshelf. The authors wield their stories in their own styles, but nevertheless faith is present and makes and impression in each novella. This book is highly recommended.

The American Heiress Brides is another romance collection of nine short stories. I enjoyed some of them very much, but I didn't like the characters in others. I know authors work really hard on getting characters and things right, but a character makes an entire story. For this reason I gave the book a four out five star review. 
The first story, written by Lisa Carter,  is about a young debutante, Eugenia Rutherford, who decides she doesn't want to marry for anything but love. After rejecting man after man she takes off on her own adventure with nothing but a trunk and a train ticket. Eugenia ends up in Silver Strike, California. She ends up in the street without any food to eat and no money to spend until a man named Cort hires her to take care of his aging grandmother. This one was my personal favorite just because of its ironic twists and turns that make the story totally unpredictable and fun. 
Next up Mary Davis gives us a neat spin with The Reluctant Heiress. It's a story about Victoria Dewitt, whose deceased rich uncle has left everything to Victoria-if she marries a successful man, and stays married, within the allotted time period. After having dinner party after dinner party she realizes that these men aren't what she's looking for in a spouse. 
I liked it well enough, but it was a little predictable, and I didn't like her attitude about everything. I liked the storyline and the idea of the concept. 
Susanne Dietze writes about Penny, an heiress that's engaged to a widowed, English Earl whom she's never met before. She's okay with the marriage and the idea of being married until she mistakenly meets the Earls brother and falls in love with him. 
The next short story is about a lawyer who is working to see a heiress thrown of her title and wealth. After completing the rather nefarious tasks of his employer he falls in love with her and proves her legitimacy. It is written by Anita May Draper. 
 They're all great stories and you should read the book to find out the plots and other stories of the book. I just wanted to give you a little insight. In short I would recommend this book to someone if they asked, but I would also tell them about my dislikes as well.

This novella series was a delightful collection of Western romances that all focused on young women who had some type of wealth to their name and had to figure out what men were interested in them or their money. I thought each novella was entertaining and had its own romantic twist that set it apart from the rest. I devoured this collection in one sitting, and I highly enjoyed them all.

If you are looking for short romances then you need to grab this book.  I love reading all the stories (9 in total) and each story grabbed my attention right away.  Love the era (my favorite time) so this book was a winner for me.  I will be adding this book to my home library.

It's rare that I come across a book with this many stories and love it. The American Heiress Brides Collection is a great read. I enjoyed all of the stories and found myself thinking about the stories even after I was done the book. The Authors were all new to me and they didn't disappoint. 
If you enjoy reading novellas & Historical books this is a must read!!!

This is a nice collection of novellas featuring nine America heiresses. The novellas are completely separate stories (not like Seven Brides for Seven Texans which features seven novellas all tied together in one big storyline).

The stories were well-written and thoughtfully put together. Some featured suspense and twists to the plots, and some were just pure, clean romance. Each had a component of faith to the plot which was nicely done. Novellas seem very difficult to write well since there is a limitation on how complicated the plot and characters can be in such a short span of words and pages. These novellas were well crafted, from beginning to finish.

I enjoyed the first novella - The Heiress and the Homesteader - the best. The heiress of this story transforms greatly and learns to see herself in a different light. I enjoyed her journey and her personal as well as spiritual growth.

There were a few heiresses and heroes that I didn't appreciate as much in the novella collection but, overall, the book was a worthwhile read.

I received a complimentary digital copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions expressed are solely my own.

Once again, a great collection of Christian romance stories to reflect upon. Each heroine is relatable which is important. I enjoyed reading collection, particularly The Heiress and the Homesteader by Lisa Carter.

These collections of novellas are wonderful when you have time for a quick read. They are thoroughly entertaining and engage the reader in the story. I have now read many of these collections. A varied list of authors that are sure to please any reader. Note: the offering from Susanne Dietze was my favorite.

Such a beautiful cover on this book! I really love reading these collections by different authors. Some of the authors I've already read and love and some were new to me authors. I loved reading the new to me authors and would love to check out more of their books. The perfect book for when you have a small amount of time you can read one story quickly or like me settle in for a longer,enjoyable read.
I recommend this to lovers of Collections and Historical Christian Romances.

Thank you to NetGalley and Barbour Books for a complimentary copy of this e-book. The review is my honest opinion.

I really enjoyed reading The American Heiress Collection! Nine separate stories all with a similar theme, I took my time reading this collection, reading just one story per night... There are many twists & turns, unexpected romances, some very dangerous moments and of course, there is love. There is a little bit of something for every lover of this time period. 
I gave the book as a whole 4 out of 5 stars. I felt that a couple of the characters sudden development of feelings for each other seemed a little flat for me. I still enjoyed the stories and recommend this book.

the American Heiress Brides novel is original at it's core.  It is full of redemption, trust, callousness, eliteness, courage, courtesy and JESUS - AMEN.  There is a  kaleidoscope of emotions that comes over you as you read each story it is amazing.  The book is full imagination and wit and I enjoyed every single word of it and so will you - each and every story of it.

I always have loved books like this and use to have a huge collection of them. I like that they are quick and to the point. I always fall in love with the characters and wonder about them later about how their lives went on.

This book is compiled of 9 wonderful, historical stories of life all over the United States.  The premise is intriguing.  I found these stories to be believable and each one has its own flavor of a story line.  The thing that stood out to me the most was: it’s interesting how money can make some people go to some great lengths to keep it, even if it’s not really theirs…  And for the honest, it’s hard to keep what is yours when people try to take it for themselves, just for spite.  I highly recommend this read to you from Barbour Publishing.
