terrific finale to the fabulous "Bride" trilogy
In 1885 Indian Rick, Arizona Territory, former Tombstone teacher Chloe Wakefield confronts her husband Jeb
McKettrick
who deserted her once he saw the daguerreotype of her with her spouse Jack Barrett. Chloe insists she was not married when she wed Jeb, but he refuses to listen to her. However, his family especially his father and new wife and his two sister-in-laws accept Chloe as part of the family especially when they learn she came to town to ask help in finding work from her beloved Uncle John Lewis, who recently died.
As Jeb tries to ignore the attraction that got him in trouble in the first place, Chloe fits in well with the chaos that has become the McKettrick brood since the patriarch started the marriage-first born contest. However, he struggles to resist her lure and when her former husband comes to town to cause trouble, Jeb knows he would die to keep Chloe safe.
This is a terrific finale to the fabulous "
Bride
"
trilogy
(see
SECONDHAND BRIDE
and SHOTGUN BRIDE) that showcases Linda Lael Miller's writing abilities as the great author balances an extended cast with deep characterizations through the three novels. The story line is action-packed, but like the previous two western romances the characters make for a fun tale. Readers will appreciate this wrap up (if you wondering about the fourth McKettrick read the book) in what has been a highly entertaining miniseries.

Very Enjoyable
This was a truly enjoyable book. Thanks again Linda Lael Miller! The characters aggravated me sometimes with their childishness, but that, I believe, is the intention of the author. They do have some growing up to do, and it was worth reading to watch them do it.
So o.k. I'm ready for Holt's story. He's a complicated character, and I'm looking forward to hearing his side of things.

Worth the wait
For any fan of Linda Lael Miller, this book is a must read. It's supposed to be the end but, she did leave someone unattached! Maybe she'll write their story. In this book, more than High Country
Bride
or Shotgun Bride, did the family get involved. It's a great book. Read it.

Wonderful!
Linda Lael Miller is awesome! When this final story in the
McKettrick Series
came out, I couldn't wait to get home to read it! As usual, Ms. Miller works her magic and brings the characters to life. The only disappointing thing that I can say about the McKettrick Series...is that it had to end. I could read on and on and on!
