Great Way to Spend the Day

I love historicals and the story of four sisters who are sent to Wyoming because of a miscommunication was pure delight. Each sister is unique in her own way and so must be the man she eventually chooses. If you're looking for a good way to spend the day, I recommend Bride for a Bit. The four authors do a wonderful job of bringing to life another era and the struggle four ladies faced in the frontier of love.

Christian Romance in Wyoming

This is a 4-1 christian historical romance. If you do not enjoy reading about faith, God's love, and people finding their way, this is not a book for you. It contains four short novellas (about 100 pages each). The characters remain the same through each novella. The scenario for this book is that four sister were shipped to Wyoming by their evil brother-in-law as a trick. He was supposed to send bridles for horses instead he sent brides. No on in Lickwind Wymoing was married, mostly men who worked on farms and ranches. So when four eligible and pretty women show up on a train it is the talk of the town! Instead of going back home, the sisters remain there to see if they could make it on their own. Matilda (Matty) is the friendly, motherly one Corrie is widowed and with child Bess is tough and sometimes bossy Bertie is a tomboy and the youngest. All four women find happiness and something to make them stay in Wyoming. If you liked Little Women you would probably like this book. It is about sisterly love, courage, faith, and most of all love.

blue ribbon winner for best in class

I really enjoy 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 books with interwoven stories. I've read quite a few of this kind and think this is the best of all of them, or at least one of two of the best (California Chances being the other). If you enjoy this kind of book, this is a must read.

Delightful Tale of Four Sisters

I started reading this book and finished it in two days, even with my busy schedule. These stories about how four sisters end up in Wyoming due to a mistake from a newspaper ad are extremely funny and have great insights to how God wants us all to give Him our trust and love throughout all our "trials" in life. Each sister has her own characteristics and ends up finding her perfect male complement in the small Wyoming town of Lickwind. The stories made me want to curl up with a cup of hot chocolate and remember the good old days I had growing up in a small town in Michigan. I definitely recommend this book of treasures. You won't want to put it down until it's done and then you will want it to continue.

A Good Read!

I loved this book. I read it twice in less than 2 weeks. If I'd had time, I'd have read it twice in 2 days. The stories were heart warming. I can't decide which is the best.
