This story is a little bit whimsy, and these two never meet each other til the wedding. As they work through their marriage, they learn to love each other, Of course, there is a third party that interferes with their marriage, makes for a little bit of suspense. This is fun story and the writing is creative.
This story starts out sad with a woman desperate for her family. She marries the mayor's son, and things start to get strange. This story has some very dark moments, but the action will keep you interested in what the mayor is doing and why all the ranches in the area are in desperate straits. The best part is when love gives the mayor's son a backbone.
This story started off really well, but quickly deteriorated as I continued to read. The plot was a good idea, but not designed very well. There are too many holes, and why wouldn't the Bryce claim their was a prior understanding. The villain is allowed to get away with their evil ways, even though we got a happily ever after. This story is very disappointing.
This story starts out different as Nora and Mary come to Cripple Creek to start life over with their friend, Jessamine. Mary falls in love with the town doctor, Tobias. He is overseeing her pregnancy while she settles into Cripple Creek. This story is about gossip and assumptions. Mary should be grateful that Tobias is a wonderful forgiving Christian, because what she subjects that man to could hurt his reputation as a doctor. The story is okay, but there is not any real great writing, but it's a nice short story to pass the time.
This is a strange little story about selfishness, determination, and how to ruin yourself. The story really centers around the villain instead of the main characters. It's about how jealousy turns into vindictiveness and how when love triumph's, you can be exposed for all the evil things that you instigated. Diana and Oliver are not hard to love, because they have the music which binds two souls together. The story had an unexpected turn at the end, because the aristocracy never acts like Oliver did, but desperation and anger can make one act outside of ourselves. As Helen learned, blackmail and vindictiveness never pay.
This has got to be the worst who-dun-it. It's a case of evil step-mother and evil step-sister. Nothing makes sense in this story until her suitor decides to investigate Mariah's illness. The action begins there and concludes with the supposedly stunning confession. I was not surprised at all. The murderers flee and are let go. If anything, the ending is horrible and justice is not served, and our couple live happily ever after in relative ignorance and joy.
This story very whimsical and characters are over the top. If it was meant to be funny, the story might have been a lot better. The game, they played was dangerous and if Arthur hadn't fallen in love with Sarah; it could have ended disastrously. The characters were all written with a 2D personality, having no depth to their characters. Although the author tried to show depth of feeling, she failed, especially between our main characters. It was an excellent plot, but if the characters had more depth, it would have been more plausible and less whimsical.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worn Sandals is a true example of how to live Grace. There are at least four moments when I had to stop reading to cry, tears ...
