Review:

"The Bartered Bride Romance Collection: Nine Historical Stores of Arranged Marriages" by 9 Various Authors was really  good historical reads.  Some I have read before but this collection comprised a mixture of it all....Here is  just a little  bit about each of these novellas.

Book 1:   Josée has been brought up by LaBlanc family
Book 2:   Charity traveling on a wagon train to Willomet Valley Oregon
Book 3:   Bethany's friend Penny brings her home over a Christmas Holiday
Book 4:   James Collingsworth has ordered 4 horse bridles, and ends up     receiving 4 brides
Book 5:   This is the second and continuing story of the Brides... Corrie Craig
Book 6:   This is a continuation of the Craig Sister... Bess Craig
Book 7:   This is Bertie's story, and the final and youngest of the Craig Sisters
    Book 4-7 are connected.....
Book 8:   The eighth novella is of  Abby and James
and the last one...
Book 9:    Captain Gregory Royce has lent Mr Collier a lot of money to save his business.  In return he is to marry Tabitha, whom he is in Love with, however, that doesn't  work out and he ends up  with another daughter...Libby.  This will be an interesting romance.

Now, to find out what is going on in each of these novellas you will have to pick up this excellent read to find out.  "Will  these couples be able to find love and hold on to their faith even in the most bizarre circumstances?"  You will see  through love and faith, will these couples be able to get through such difficult situations?  I found the characters, especially the brides, were  all very realistic making this read very well understood by the reader.  Would I recommend this
novellas as fun and fast paced  good reads, YES!
