There are three different stories in this collection.
His Stubborn Sweet Bride ⭐⭐⭐⭐
First, I have to say that this is some very good writing.The whole premise of the story is just wrong. An Englishman raised man running a ranch in Colorado and a woman who is desperate to runaway from a man who conned her. The only thing I don't get in the book, was when Nate found time to start falling in love with Maggie. She conned and lied her way into his house, then left when the guilt got too much for her. All I felt from Nate the whole time is anger, we only found out he felt desire for her when she was standing on the steps all cleaned up, and that was at the end of the book. My only wish is the author spent a little more time on the cold fish, Nate. It would have helped the flow of the story better.
Her Prodigal Cowboy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is a new look at the story of the Prodigal Son set in the late 1800's when the train connected both sides of country together. The younger son takes his inheritance and goes West to make his way as a homesteader. Walter the older brother does everything to keep Arthur and the woman both boys have been vying for attention from since they were young. I was awed and inspired by the author's attention to the older brother's heart. It was one that didn't recognize what love really consists of and considered anything or anyone he wanted a prize or possession. The younger's heart knew love and though his sins were many; he found redemption even through failure, because he knew he couldn't go it alone. This story touches the heart, mind and soul.
Love Behind Enemy Lines ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is a Revolutionary War romance. It centers around Jamestown, Virginia and how two people find love on the battlefield. One is a nurse who has dedicated her life to nursing the soldiers and the other is a man wanted for murder in England. George was framed for murder and ran from the authorities. Lizzie was a nurse with a much too generous heart. George finds salvation for his heart and soul. Lizzie finds there is more to live for than just saving soldiers. I didn't realize that this is a companion book to "The Secret of Her Guardian Sailor" until the very end of the story. The extended epilogue for this book brings both stories together. I loved this story, even though it included the ugliness and savagery of war. It's an example of how with courage and love, we can overcome.
