Customer Reviews

Sandra Chastain at her best!!

Shotgun Groom is Sandra Chastain at her best. Witty dialogue and warm, likeable characters are what Ms. Chastain does best, and this book excels at both. You'll laugh and cry, but mostly, you'll feel really good when you get done reading.

A special story

In 1875, an ailing Jim Logan sends a letter to his Aunt Dolly, requesting she find him a bride. However, he signs the letter with his brother Matt's name. Dolly sends her ward, Lily, who has always loved Matt. Lily forces Matt, who has no plans to marry a non-Texan, into an agreement based on the marital contract that he had been tricked into signing. Lily begins to win over Matt by proving that a southern lady can become a Texas woman. Meanwhile, someone has been mutilating the cattle, trying to make it look like the Indians are getting ready to go on the warpath. Additionally, a group of outsiders has just about bought the free range that surrounds the water, making it extremely difficult to water the cattle. If Matt fails to learn who is doing the former and somehow stop the latter, his extended family will soon be dispossessed. Multi-award winning authorSandra Chastain has written 32 popular romances and her most recent, SHOTGUN GROOM, demonstrates she deserves every one as she remains one of the great writing talents of the nineties. The story line is fast-paced and the characters (lead and secondary) are charming and add a air of authenticity that turns this book into a fabulous historical romance. Harriet Klausner
