If you’re the type of reader who likes to read books in a series back-to-back, this week’s review will be helpful. Wild West Brides by Lori Copeland collects three stories previously published by the author in one volume. The library previously had the first story in the book, but the proceeding two add to the series. All the stories are set in the mid-1800s in the Midwest.
First up is The Peacemaker. Wynne Elliott is furious at Cass Claxton for leaving her at the altar and is bent on revenge. But when Cass’ older brother appears and seemingly tries to rob Wynn’s stagecoach, she may not have the restraint to keep her hand off her gun. The second story is titled The Drifter. Another Claxton brother, Beau, is at death’s door after a tragedy in life makes him a drifter. After riding for days a fight with a wolf leaves him injured and in the care of Charity, a young widow with a Kansas farm claim to work all alone. The third in the series revisits Cass Claxton from the first story. He had a good reason for leaving a woman at the altar – he was already married to another woman in a shotgun ceremony years before. But now his wife is back with more sneaky plans that leave Cass and his wife on the wagon trail to Kansas, with nine orphans in tow!
Lori Copeland is a well-known Christian fiction author, and this book will be shelved in the Christian fiction section after its time on the regular library shelves. Although each story is a light read, they are each full-length novels.
You can get more great titles to watch, read, listen to, or play with at the Port Library at 1718 N. Hersey in Beloit.
