"An Unexpected Bride at the Wagon Train" by Cassidy Hanton

My Opinion:  

The story will keep one's attention due to so many twists and turns, adventure, and heroism that Olivia Davis had to go through until she got the happiness and love she so desired.  It was hard trying to figure out Olivia's father, who sent her off alone on a cantankerous horse to marry Charles Duncan [through an arranged marriage], who they didn't even know. Oh, but he was wealthy. What will happen when Olivia runs into some bandits? Who was Levi Miller, who had been traveling for six years with no particular purpose?  But as fate would have it, after Olivia meets this remarkable man who was just what ... well, I will stop here and say you will have to pick up this novel ' An Unexpected Bride at the Wagon Train' to see how this author brings it all out to the reader.  I loved how Levi Miller was there and came to Olivia's aid agreeing to take her to the fiancé.  The characters were well-developed defined, giving the reader a good definition of good and evil, including a horse and a dog. Will Olivia and Levi be able to find love and happiness in a HEA?  The reader will need to read the extended epilogue to get the rest of the story, which puts the icing on the cake for these two.
