Summary: Enjoyable!
Review: This is the second book I have read by Maggie Osborne. Easy on the ears and eyes! A glimpse into the Old West where things were tough especially for women. Her repartee is engaging and sweet. Read her "The Best Man" for some real education and laughs in the Old West. Good, light story.. always a sweet ending. Nice summer reading.

Summary: Not a keeper
Review: This is the story of reunion between Angie and Sam of forgotten love. When Angie meet Sam for their divorce, she never expected Sam to have another woman in his life and 2 kids in tow, Lucy and Daisy. The delightul characters of 2 very adorable girls smacked me right on head. I love Angie for her strong characters, but much is left to be desired with the book. The author did not explain how Lucy and Daisy come into the custody of Sam.This book is not a keeper. I prefer I Do, I Do, I Do much better.

Summary: An engaging western romance
Review: When she was sixteen, Angie Bertoli married Sam Holland in Chicago. However, her father interceded, ending the relationship before the duo can begin learning how to be a married couple. Sam flees for the West while Angie remains home living in shame.
A decade later following the death of her father six weeks ago, a financially broke Angie travels to Cripple Creek, Colorado seeking Sam. She wants a divorce she can start anew. Angie meets Sam's two young children, Lacy and Daisy, offsprings of the deceased Laura, the woman he lived and loved with for several years. He informs Angie that he cannot afford to pay for a divorce, as he needs all his money to provide surgery for his youngest daughter. They agree to a business arrangement with her caring for his children and handling his money while he works as a carpenter and prays a mining claim comes through. As they learn to respect one another, Sam and Angie fall in love again, but for this pair it seems the opportunity of a relationship has past.
THE BRIDE OF WILLOW CREEK is an engaging western romance that sub-genre fans will enjoy due to the strong cast. Angie and Sam make a fine couple struggling with their joint and separated pasts and guilty feelings. His children, the look back at Laura, the townsfolk, and his in-laws add depth though his deceased wife comes across to perfect in a comparison with Angie. Still readers will fully relish Maggie Osborne's engaging historical romance. Harriet Klausner
