The Reluctant Bride
by Leigh Greenwood
Buy book: $5.95

A mail-order bride arrives in the Colorado Territory in 1872 and tries to find love with her future husband, even if he seems to be a dangerous rogue.

I love the planned marriage aspect. I seem to learn a lot more about the characters because they have to explain them to each other. I look forward to the rest of this week's read.

Did anyone else notice that this is a romance novel written by a MAN???

It's either going to have an interestingly different perspective...or be really, really bad. It's too soon to tell.

The Author...Leigh Greenwood...by the way this is not his real name ...is a past president of "Romance Writers of America." This is the first book of his that I have read, but I hear he is an excellant writer.

I like the start of this book. I want to read more!

I like the beginning so far. A five minute read ends so quickly when the author is establishing the characters. The fact that the author is a man didn't come to the front of my mind until reading the other comments. Now I can't wait to read to see what the perspective will sound like.
