Wed Under Western Skies An Anthology Carolyn Davidson Cheryl StJohn Jenna Kernan 9780373293995 Books

Abandoned by Carolyn Davidson gets 2 stars. The hero was an utter creep. The poor girl is attacked and left for dead and within minutes of finding her he lays claim to her. Calls her sweetheart and within hours is feeling her up and kissing her. She's got amnesia but is so accepting of everything he's doing - his bossiness.

Almost a Bride by Cheryl St. John was better and gets a 3.5. My problems stem from the fact that Jack declares his love out of the blue and basically within a couple of weeks. Short stories really force the love and makes what I'm reading less than realistic. These people don't even know each other - they are complete strangers when they first meet. Jack's son was precious and I liked how Charmaine interacted with him. Still, it's nicely written and wished it were longer.

His Brother's Wife by Jenna Kernan was a 4. This is a new author for me and I enjoyed her style, the characters and their interaction. But again the love is rushed and so much happens within such a short time span that the romance falls a little flat. I really wanted this story to last and will be looking for more by this author.

Wed Under Western Skies An Anthology Carolyn Davidson Cheryl StJohn Jenna Kernan 9780373293995 Books Reviews

The first story in this book is so bad, I have to write an essay on it before I blow a fuse. Carolyn Davidson should know better.

ABANDONED (Carolyn Davidson)
A small wagon train group is attacked by Indians. Instead of protecting his beloved daughter, Elizabeth Travis, her father chases after another man who is running from the situation. What father would abandon his daughter to chase a coward? Miraculously, Elizabeth is only badly beaten -- not killed.

The story gets worse; Elizabeth is saved by Cameron Montgomery, one of the scouts (of a large wagon train) who comes upon the burning wreck of the smaller train. Cam instantly decides that he wants her for his wife and and goes from protecting her to jealous of other men to insisting that Elizabeth marry him. Elizabeth demurs because she isn't sure; things have moved too fast for her. Cam runs rough-shod over her doubts and marries her. And Minnie Milk-toast goes along with his plan! Bizarre!

ALMOST A BRIDE (Cheryl St.John)
In her hometown, Charmaine Renlow is the only female over the age of 17 who is not married. She has a beau of 4 years who seems to be satisfied with the way things are. Widower, Jack Easton has moved closer to town so his part-Cheyenne son can get an education. Things are not going well for Daniel at school; both he and his father are lonely. At first, Jack sees Charmaine as a spoiled woman; she seems to talk more than get things accomplished.

HIS BROTHER'S BRIDE (Jenna Kernan)
The only person who ever loved bad-boy Nate Justice was his brother, Jacob, a minister. Now Jacob has died and his last wish was for Nate to marry his wife Clara and together raise (Jacob and Clara's daughter) Kitty.

Clara has no choice (she is penniless) and arrives by train to Colorado City to marry her brother-in-law. Nate is so horrified by the thought of marriage that he is stinking drunk by the time Clara arrives. He suggests they marry quickly, before he passes out.

The last two stories were much more interesting than the first. Ms. St.John shows readers that children of mixed heritage had a difficult time during this time period in America; it took a special kind of woman to ignore the prejudice and create a loving home. HIS BROTHER'S BRIDE, I thought was a lovely story with an unlikely plot. Ms. Kernan used a deft hand to bring this story to life; it was my favorite.
All three stories were very good to read, and I plan on keeping the book to re-read over again and again.
These authors have compiled great stories. I so enjoyed reading it, and will probably read it again. The characters were real, and I so enjoyed reading it.
I bought this book to get the Cheryl St John story and was disappointed only in that it was too short! Novella as good as her novels. The other authors were new to me and were sweet, pleasant stories. Worth the price!!
I really like westerns and this book was excellent
about weddings that one can just imagine actually happening back in those days
I found this book to be riveting with love ,romance,and all the Happily ever afters )
This book captures the reader ..Awesome book
If it had not been for the first story in this anthology of Western Romances, the book would have earned five stars.

All I know is that Carolyn Davidson better be very glad that Cheryl St. John and Jenna Kernan had their stories to carry her.

The first story by Carolyn Davidson "Abandoned" is quite honestly the worst story I have ever read. It is just so dumb that it makes you want to crumple up the and toss it in the trash. I think if she had the character say "sweetheart" one more time, I would have been tempted to crumple it.
"Abandoned" is about a woman who has been attacked along with her father and another man. The father, instead of staying to help his daughter, takes off after the other man, presumably to bring him back to help. They both leave the woman to fend for herself against the Indians. She is beaten and cut pretty badly.
So, in rushes the hero who picks her up and carries her back to his wagon train where he proceeds to put her in his wagon and lays claim to her. He doesn't want anyone to look at her because he is jealous and he decides that she will marry him, have his babies and settle in Denver. Now, HE decides all of this and lets everyone know that he is the one in charge and she has no say in the matter whatsoever. The so-called hero is a neanderthal who is full of himself. I mean he believes that if he says something then the woman should listen. UGH! The author had the man call the woman sweetheart 32 times. Double UGH !

Cheryl St. John couldn't write a bad book if she tried. This story is about a young woman who just wants to be loved like she sees in other families. She has been dating Wayne for 4 years and he has yet to ask her to marry him. Then along comes Jack and his part-Indian child. "Almost a Bride" will make buying the book worthwhile.

I had never read any of Jenna Kernan's books so she is a new author for me. I will be looking at her other books since "His Brother's Bride" was so good. It is a story about grief and starting over.
