Danika Stanislaus has immigrated to America with her family, and while working their farm settlement, she dreams of being swept off her feet by a handsome American cowboy. Her dreams are fulfilled when a cattle stampede nearly takes her life, when Alex McClaric does indeed sweep her off her feet, right onto his horse, saving her from certain death.
Alex is immediately taken with Danika, finding himself irresistibly drawn to her in spite of her overprotective brothers, and his own fears of falling in love again. But when he finds the nemesis who stole his first love turning his attentions on the lovely Danika, and her family’s life and property threatened, he can’t stay away, determined to protect her at all costs.
It was with regret that I scored Range War Bride with 4 Klovers instead of with 5 Klovers. The story itself definitely merits a 5 Klover rating, but the frequent grammatical errors proved so distracting to the story, I felt I had to drop it to four. That said, I’ve read several of Brenda Williamson’s other works and not found the same issue there. Range War Bride is an older work than those stories, which leads me to believe this was part of her growth as an author, as her 2006 releases have no obvious faults grammatically.
In spite of the grammatical errors, the plot and the well-rounded characters shine through. Danika and Alex are a delightful couple, even as they fight it every step of the way! I will warn the readers that the story isn’t without tragedy, and I highly recommend keeping a box of tissue handy when reading it.
I highly recommend the story, although I would like to see Whiskey Creek Press re-publish it with new editing, to correct the grammatical issues. ( )
