Publisher's Summary:

She had always done as she pleased - with nary a thought to the consequences.

Indeed, Sally Mallory's great success throughout the ton as a fine portrait painter had been aided by spirited independence - along with wit and extraordinary talent. But now it seemed she had gone too far.

Impetuous Sally had compromised her reputation, and now was to be forced into a marriage of convenience with the most distinguished art critic in London, the cold and arrogant Duke Ian Frobisher!

Ian was proud, unbending, quick to anger - and though Sally sensed the hurt beneath his disdain, she was desperate to escape a loveless union. Impulsively, she accepted the disreputable Sir Percy Badham's shocking proposal.

A Fun Read

If you could sum up Sally in three words, what would they be?

A Fun Read

Any additional comments?

This is a sweet kind of book where you know the ending at the beginning and all the characters play by the rules (except Percival, what a scandral). The problem is the clever author has put more obstacles in the way of true love then you would think are possible and part way thru it was clear these two wonderful people would never get together. It is so clever and plausible. So maybe they don't get together. Ms. Ferguson's voice is perfect for this tale. She has a British cadance if not exactly an accent and she becomes the heroine. I never before read this particular genre, Regency Romance I think, but I loved it from beginning to end and listened to much of it a second time to make sure I got it. Soothing, I think that's the world, soothing in this world that we are currently engaged in. I can't wait for another Leonora Blyth book on Audible.

Read about the trust these women had in God's provision for their happiness

I enjoy reading a clean fun story that I can escape in for a little while. Mail order brides have intrigued me because of the unknown about what these young woman were walking into and the faith that they had in God to provide a love worth the risk. This was a good book and I enjoyed reading it. The story line left me wanting to read more by this author.

Good read

These stories are so short it's hard to call them books. But they are all clean and uplifting and positive. Love the series.

Lilly,A Bride for Cowboy Benjamin

I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more of her books

Sweet romance

Lolly is ready to be a mail order bride and is waiting to hear back from Benjamin with a marriage proposal. When she doesn't hear from him for three months, she and her sister travel to see him. Lolly arrives in town to find out Benjamin is courting another woman and thinks Lolly didn't respond to his marriage proposal. What happened to the letter of proposal? How can Benjamin marry the woman he loves when he is courting someone else? Excellent short read.

Sweet Story!

This story is an interesting variation of the mail-order bride theme. Benjamin Doyle faces a dilemma that he had never anticipated. This is a sweet romance that had this reader rooting for Ben to make the right decision. It is a nice quick read which I enjoyed!

Widowed with a young child and deeply in debt, Sally Jones has no choice but to seek a new life out West, and Davis Carter seems like the right man to start over with.

But what she doesn't tell them is that she is traveling to their home with her daughter, Katie - and she has no idea if Davis will accept them.

Seeking a teacher and mother for his son, Davis is not looking for love, but only for a woman's touch to help bring some structure back into their lives. His son's upbringing is important to him, so when Sally meets him with her own daughter - a daughter she neglected to mention in her letters - he is furious. How can she give his son the attention he needs, when she will be busy with her own child?

But sometimes, anger is simply an expression of fear - the fear of losing a loved one once again.

Four Stars

Just a nice story to read

Five Stars

Good

This Author Needs An Editor!!

I believe Faith Johnson is a very good story teller and her stories are both good to read and inspire faith in God. I wish I could give her a five star review, but the spelling and punctuation in her stories show the serious need for an editor...or a proof reader at the very least. Being a retired editor, I realize I have to overlook grammatical and punctuation to a large degree when reading novels, but when the errors are so many and so simple, I find it greatly diminishes a reader's pleasure. The extra time spent editing and/or proof reading will go a long way towards gaining new fans and keeping current ones. I hope Ms. Johnson will improve her writing skills and continue toward a successful writing career.

Publisher's Summary:

Sam Tanner buried a man hanging from a tree the day he met Riley Morgan. He could tell from the moment he met her that she was trouble. After all, she was white and he was black, and he wanted to avoid her at all costs, but Riley managed to get under his skin, in more ways than one.

Members Reviews:

Love WIll Always Find A Way

This was a moving and riveting story. Sam and Riley were very well written and complimentary. What I loved most about the book is how Ms. Hestand manage to capture the lethal nature of interracial relationships in the time period. Unjust and very real death was a common result of black men and white women being together. She conveyed that very well, but wasn't heay handed about. Even today, after nearly 300 years in America, interracial love is STILL a point of contention in our country. Fortunately for all of us, Love and Life will always find a way.

Daddy's little girl was raised to be a ranch hand.

A woman running a cattle ranch was frowned upon. It just wasn't woman's work. But killing her off for it? That's a bit harsh. Still and all, that was what Riley's foreman tried to do when she refused to marry him. Along came Sam and sort of rescued her. Or did she rescue him? It's a twisted tale that includes ladies of the evening, lawyers, a dog named nodog and so much more.

It was an amusing read, but the characters just didn't quite breath quite as believably as I would have hoped. They were just too predictable and paper doll cut out to be real.

Still, a pleasant way to spend an afternoon and evening reading.

Western drawl GALORE

I am not a fan of continuous "giddy up drawl" in a Western. Most of the characters talk without that continuous drawl except for maybe one ranch hand. This book was full of it which I found enormously distracting. I know that you might say, "What did you expect? It's a Western for Pete's sake". I know, I know but I "personally" do not find it romantically appealing. Fantastic storyline however I scanned this book a lot just to get to the main of each section.

repetivive

Rita Hestand is always similar stories, like waste misdeeds of Romeo and Juliet. It is always a meaningless relationship and silly, but that in the end love overcomes all obstacles. seems to speech of a politician, to demagogic. I recommend better literature

Publisher's Summary:

All the Honorable Anne Kirkhoven wants is to be wrapped in the arms of the man she loves, Frederick Shaw, Esquire, barrister, solicitor, writer of the best Gothic romance novels in England, and surely a future Member of Parliament. But despite Frederick's many perfections, Anne's mama has forbidden her to speak with him, much less marry him, and until Anne attains her majority, all they can do is wait.

But now the most notorious duke in the ton, Ernst Anton Oldenburg, the First Duke of Cumberland (and some say a foreign prince), is making a public point of assessing her...attributes, sending shivers to portions of her anatomy she'd rather not name. Who's the right man? And will her reputation survive the Duke's assault long enough for her to find out?

The Imperial Arm and his Elite are confronted by all sides of misery and everyone must reveal their deepest soul before blood runs.

Members Reviews:

Good book which is well-worth the read!

The Imperial Arm

Knights of the Imperial Elite Book 1

The author indicates that this fictitious story is meant to provide escapism in a realistic setting, without adhering strictly to the characteristics of the time period. Note that this story includes violent happenings and explicit sexual situations. No spoiler with this review.

In 1256, Lady Brennaâs cruel father of Carthmore Keep forces her to travel to Dorling Castle where she is to marry Lord Gunther, a thief and sadist who has tortured, raped, and murdered others. Brennaâs sister, Linnea, escapes their father and travels to Dorling Castle, where Brenna helps to hide her. Meanwhile, Guntherâs twin brother Darrius of Blackstone, King Henryâs most trusted emissary, is sent to "snuff out" an enemy of the Crown by infiltrating Dorling Castle, positioning himself by pretending to be his brother-Gunther. This includes, of course, marriage to unsuspecting Lady Brenna, a pawn whom Darrius believes will be better off without a hellish marriage to Gunther, and whom King Henry can later have married to someone more worthy. Darrius is aided by his cousin, Rowan, the McLeod. Following a sleeping draught put in their ale, Gunther and a few of his most loyal men are carted off to the dungeon by several of Darrius's loyal men, who later left to avoid detection. There are twists and turns within the story.

This is a well-written, stand-alone book which is interesting enough to encourage the reader to purchase additional books by the author. It is a historical romance wrapped in an unusual story which includes realistic historical events. This is the first time that I have read a book by this author but it will not be the last.

Absolutely Wonderful Medieval Romance At Its' Best!

The Imperial Arm and His Elite Guard - Book 1. This book is one of the best medieval stories I have read in a while and I am really looking forward to following each of the Elite Guard in his own search for true love. It was heartwarming to read of Darrius's love for Brenna and her's for him. I was on 'constant alert' for Gunther - so glad when he met his end. I read this book non-stop and it will have a 'revered' place on my 'keeper' shelf.

Painful writing with a tedious reader

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Anyone who enjoys really tedious writing with the same words repeated over and over and by a writer who really believes in rubbing in the guilt!

Would you ever listen to anything by Linda Baten Johnson again?

Probably not.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She has a stilted way of reading that makes the bad writing sound even worse. Pauses where there shouldn't be pauses, no pauses where there should be, the wrong emphasis on the wrong syllable... that sort of thing.

What character would you cut from Orphan Train Bride Healing Scars?

I couldn't listen to more than the first few chapters, so I can't answer that question

Any additional comments?

The narrator of an audio book is essential in the listening experience. Good narrators carry the book forward and don't get in the way. This narrator highlighted the bad writing and made it doubly un-listenable.

Sheriff Bride

This was a very clean and wholesome book. Very enjoyable to read. This Author is amazing. So thankful I had the chance to read it. Put together very well as a stand alone or to be able to read with the others. Looking forward to reading the next one from this Author.

Can I Have My Money back ?

I didn't even finish this book ... it was "preachy" and so unreal. I absolutely tried several times to like it but found it so tiresome of a read. I finaly gave up. I believe in sharing the gospel by relating to people with the love of Jesus, but not pushing a buch of religious words at them. Sorry, I did not like this book.

ok

Enjoyed readubg but probably wouldn't read again. I might try another book written by the same writters in the future.

Tough sisters of the old west

Cowboys, tough guys, burly drunks, bank robbers--all normal folks found in your typical old western towns. The untypical is the fact that all these ruffians are held in line by not one, but four sheriffs. The even more untypical is that the four sheriffs are women and sisters at that!!! This is the first book in the series by Teresa Ives Lily. The story gives the sad history of the sisters which made them able to handle the duties of sheriff, much to the chargrin of the town banker who sent out the call for a sheriff. Teresa writes this book as an inspirational western romance. I can hardly wait to read the rest of the books in the series. Thanks Teresa for a great read.

GOD DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES, WE DO

What a delightful story of four brave woman, sisters, who have never been treated well by their father during their entire life. How dare they be girls, so even though their late mother was allowed to give them feminine names, they were called Sam, Jo, Dan and Rob. What a shock to the town of Waterhole, who had hired John Hardin to be their new sheriff, and in his place, four young women show up with the news that John was dead and they were there to fill the job of Sheriffs. Mark Carlin, the banker and man who hired Hardin, sure is not happy. But don't stand in the way of a determined woman, much less four of them. The storyline and dialogue is entertaining and these feisty and definitely talented ladies, prove in several cases, they are definitely the persons for the job of Sheriff. Not only can they out gun, but their love of God shines through and harden men find Christ as their Savior. I love the quote, "If God has forgiven you, you have to forgive yourself too." Waterhole, Texas will never be the same with the Hardin Sisters as the newest Sheriffs and town residents. Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts, opinions and ratings are my own. (Very minor edit issues, nothing to ruin the story!)
