Review: Texas, 1890

WILD WESTERN BRIDE is exceptionally well told; however I did not feel its title of "WILD WESTERN BRIDE" fit the contents of the book. I think the storyline concentrated more on the orphans of Orphan Trains, than a wild reckless relationship that the title of WILD WESTERN BRIDE implies. Regardless, it is a 5 star read!

Review: This is the book I was working on when my father died. It was supposed to help him come out of the depression he'd fallen into during the last year of his life, but he didn't live to see it in print. I poured so much emotion into this book, hoping through this particular hero, my father would realize just what he still had to live for, that WILD WESTERN BRIDE became my very first bestseller and my first novel to be optioned for a movie.

Review: This was the first RA book I read, and it led me to many more great books of hers. I love the strength the main characters show in trying to forge something resembling a family while fighting to keep their hearts from getting hurt. The loves scenes are tender and memorable (especially the first ;) without being gratutious, and while maybe all the loose ends gets tied up with surprising ease, I found myself forgiving that in my happiness for all the characters. A keeper!

Summary: Warm historical Texan romance...
Review: Very warm story about a woman and a man that find love together through the orphaned brothers, they both dearly love. Both of them have their own issues of self-worth they must deal with, and the two children give them that reason to live and to deal with the issues they have spent so much time running from. Each time it appears the family has found happiness, something else threatens the family that so desperately needs each other.

This is an very good story, that sometimes becomes a little tedious in all the complications. The romance was a little to easy and perfect, but Rosalyn Alsobrook's books are usually this way. However, it's a very good story that I do recommend. I always enjoy Alsobrook's ties in with actual historical events and/or issues, this time it was tied into the historical Orphan Trains.
