Based on the back cover blurb, I did not expect it to be as interesting as I found it when I read it. This book contains the stories of 4 sisters from Massachusetts who travel to Wyoming Territory to marry 4 men who are all from the same general area. Knights ranchers, Shepard 4 STARS Sagebrush Knights is a collection of 4 novels about 4 sisters being mail order brides in Wyoming territory 1874. They are clean romances and are enjoyable to read. Knight and Day Widow Evelyn Gerhard Stanford is the oldest sister.Thier father died and they lost thier home. They decided to advertise to be mail order brides in the same area. They are surprised that to the ranchers they are close but to the sisters they were thinking close like a city. A cranky Preacher met the stage and plans to drop off each sister and marry the couple and than to the next. It would take full day to travel to all 4 homes. Evelyn was the first to be dropped off. She had a ten year old boy she did not tell Gareth about. Gareth did not tell her that he too was a widower with a 10 year old tom boy. Challenges to make them a family was a fun story. Lady-in-Waiting Jane Gerhard feels like she is invisible but she is a hard worker and makes the best of things. Harrison Garvey is from back east and he made a contract that he would be able to make the ranch profitable and pay back the loan in 3 years or move back and work in factory. The 3 year is close to being done and he does not know if he will make. Harrison live in a sodie house. Shining Armor The person who made the contract Gwendolyn Gerhard died before she got thier and found it was the grandfather. Matthew Parker did not want to marry anyone. But his sister talked him in letting her stay at least 6 weeks while the preacher goes on his travels. Gwendolyn was just what 15 Bess needed she just got sick enough that now she was in a wheelchair and could not be left in the house by herself while the men worked. On a White Charger Emmeline Gerhard is the youngest sisters and is excited to be able to live on a ranch with a cowboy. When they get close they see a fire. It is her new house that burned. Her husband is not a cowboy but a shepard. He also refuses to defend his stock or home by killing anyone again. I had a smile the whole time that I was reading this. I will look for more books by Erica Vetsch to read. I was given this ebook to read in exchange for honest review from Netgalley. Barbour Publishing, Inc.

Journey along with the four Gerhard sisters as they head to Wyoming Territory in search of husbands and discover that happy endings are not ready-made. Evelyn arrives in Wyoming with a secret and a grudge, only to find her prospective groom holds a secret, too. Jane vies for the attention of her workaholic husband who is bent on saving his ranch even if it means losing love. Gwendolyn's would-be husband dies, leaving her to the will of another man. And Emmeline's knight-in-shining-armor herds sheep instead of cattle. Will love prevail, or will their journeys have not so happy endings? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Delightful. The author's fresh descriptions, tangible characters, and well-crafted plots held me until the last page. Each story is an energetic, new perspective on the mail order bride story. My first read by Ms. Vetch, but certainly not the last. ( )
