Review:

Mama Burnett has one more unwed son to coax into marriage!

Dr Sarah James arrives in Fort Worth worried about her elderly grandfather's health. It is not long before she realizes things are not as they seemed. And seeing Tucker Burnett again is an unexpected surprise. Even though they had been childhood friends, their one night of passion three years ago has changed everything, especially when Sarah knows the last thing he wants is a commitment.

I read this great story in less than a day! I enjoyed visiting the whole Burnett family again and the conclusion of this Texas saga was wonderful. By the end of the story I really felt bonded with all the Burnett family members especially the youngest and newest. I hate to see the saga end but it was fantastic!!

Summary: Loved it!
Review: Eugenia Burnett worried about her three boys. It took a lot of work, but she got Tanner and Travis married to the strong, unique mates that all Burnett men needed. Only Tucker, her youngest, remained unwed. But Eugenia knew the perfect medicine to cure Tucker's wandering spirit!

Dr. Sarah James practiced in Tombstone. Her father ran a hotel in Fort Worth. When she was notified by Eugenia that he had been sick, she grabbed her two-year-old son, Lucas, and hurried to her father. Turned out he was much better. She would have returned to Tombstone but Doc Wilson turned ill. She promised to stay a month and tend to his patients. Problem was Tucker was in town. She never told him about Lucas since he made it very clear he wanted no attachments. Besides, it was not as if she ever knew where he was. He never stayed anywhere for long.

Marshal Tucker Burnett had known Sarah since they were little. Yet a couple of years ago their desire for each other consumed them for one night. He left Sarah in the middle of the night, without warning. He never knew that one night had resulted in Lucas. Now she was in town for a short while. She had married, had a son, and widowed quickly. He knew his mother was trying to push them together, but he would not allow her to set him up with a wife as she had with his brothers!

*** Here is one to make readers sit up and take notice! This author has an incredible talent of latching onto the reader immediately and never letting them go. I loved every single minute! Recommended reading! ***

Summary: A witty, charming tale -- Highly recommended
Review: Eugenia Burnett's determination to see her three sons married with a family has resulted in the eldest two sons marriages in THE RANCHER TAKES A WIFE and THE OUTLAW TAKES A WIFE. Now her youngest son falls victim to her matchmaking schemes in THE MARSHAL TAKES A WIFE. But she may find her own matchmaking skills used against her as her sons conspire to ensure their mother takes a husband and has less time for meddling in their own lives.

Marshal Tucker Burnett would rather remain free to engage a gunfight than to give up the town to outlaws. He's the Burnett man with the fastest draw and associates raising a family with the loss of freedom and ties to responsibility. That's why he left in the night three years ago, rather than remaining in the arms of the only woman who could make him forget his vows of freedom. His hasty departure ensured he destroyed a long time friendship with Dr. Sarah James.

When Tucker goes to the stage to pick up his mother's package, he's shocked to find Sarah and her two-year-old son getting off the stage. Sarah is equally outraged to learn the telegram Eugenia sent regarding her grandfather's ill health was a ploy to bring Tucker and her together. She fears that Tucker will realize that he's her son's father. She also vows to thwart Eugenia's matchmaking schemes, eventually even allow Tucker to fix her up with other men. But dating other men simply backfires on them both.

The road to marriage is filled with bumps and challenges in this final edition of the Burnett Brides Trilogy. The simple matchmaking premise results in character driven conflict that keeps the pages turning. Sylvia McDaniel's delightful characters that refuse to acknowledge the truth of their hearts result in an utterly witty, charming tale. With a nice twist of plot that turns the table on the matchmaker, THE MARSHAL TAKES A WIFE comes highly recommended.
