Book 1
ROPING THE WRANGLER
Wyoming 1895
Sarah Hansen is a school teacher under the thumb of the School Board Leader & Town Bully.
Oscar White steps 7 years out of her past to arrive to train the bully's horse. As a difficult situation comes to head, and 3 outcast little girls are continually hurt, these 2 will have to set aside their differences and work together. And in the process, maybe everyone will find the love and care they desperately need.
I really like this author's writing style. The main characters are flawed and a little broken, but not in an ugly, unlikable way. The men are always so caring, despite internal insecurities. The faith feels genuine. Recommended.
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Book 2
HER CONVENIENT COWBOY
Wyoming, December 1900
Davy and Rose's story.
When these two are unexpectedly thrown together in a blizzard, she'll have to learn that not all men are controlling and selfish. He'll learn that maybe God CAN bless him with the secret desires of his heart.
Boisterous, big family.
Forced proximity.
A nameless dog.
Ranch life.
Bottled emotions.
A tender and patient cowboy.
Damsel in distress.
A happily ever after.
Plenty to enjoy in this story.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
🐎🐂

Book 3
A COWBOY FOR CHRISTMAS
NE Wyoming, December 1900
Ricky and Daisy's story. Two very broken people. She is hiding from the world, a shell of her former self. He's secretly the reason for it, and has other secrets to boot. He's determined to make things right with her. I really like Ricky and how much patience and strength he gave Daisy. I felt bad for all the guilt he carried, even though his brain knew God had forgiven him, he couldn't convince his heart. And he had the worst luck with fires! Also, his Pa, Jonas, is a wonderful man!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐
🔥🔥🔥

Book 4
CHRISTMAS HOMECOMING
December 1914
U.S. Marshall Walt White and nurses Libby Kearney, plus Ida White are in non-stop danger in the tumultuous tale. As they fight to survive Walt and Libby grow closer. Their faith and will to go on is heavily tested. I enjoyed it and cried near the end.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
🔫🤠

These books have several typos and a couple of times the author clearly typed the wrong name, but not enough to detract from the intent of the stories.

Recommended.

I purchased this collection of ebooks. All thoughts and opinions are mine alone without expectation or compensation.

I am adding reviews for each story as I go.

Four love stories will captivate you as you read the terror, unbelievable cold weather and a burning passion which creates the drama in each story. School teacher Sarah Hanson knew horse trainer, Oscar White from her growing up years. This story involves three of her girl students. Good story. …Davy White, cowboy goes to his line shack to winter with his herd. He meets Mrs. Rose Evans, very recently widowed and very pregnant. Good story. …Daisy Richards, trying to live again after an accident that made her loose her right arm. Ricky White, the cause of the accident. Good story. …Walt White, U.S. Marshal meets Libby Kearney, nurse, while taking in a convict. All great stories during the winter season revolving around Christmas time. Actually, I don’t know how I made it through these stories. Even though I read this book over the Christmas week and was in a warm house with a nice warm blanket over me and a hot coffee, I just about froze with all the characters as I read their stories. Brrrr 🥶!

A Christmas Marriage Of Convenience by Lacey Williams is a collection of four Christmas western historical romances and although I enjoyed all of them, especially because Miss Williams, always finds a way to make those who are handicap seem capable something that is very important to this blind reader. When I first read it and with this collection, Sarah and Oscar were my favorite couple and a book I found a few lol moments in, but the story of Walt and Libby, was fraught with tention, and was my least favorite. Especially because Libby let her emotions almost get her and Walt caught too many times, but having it be my least favorite I still enjoyed it and still definitely recommend it)). there’s also the other two stories with Ben and Rose and Ricky and Daisy. every story is sweet, clean and swoon worthy my favorite kind of read.

Loved this book. It included four stories centered around the one family, the White family. I have not read Jonas and Penny’s story but I definitely need to know about the amazing father who raised the four men in this series. I loved that this series touches on faith and love and doing the right things. All four are love stories but they are also about family’s love for one another and about forgiveness. Well written and just the perfect read at Christmas time.

A good bunch

Every story has its difficulties and horrid characters! Each story is very different and interesting issues to be addressed. All have past baggage to address to get to their HEA. The best part, is that they do. Always left satisfied when finished. Ok, maybe would like to know Ida and Tom's outcome, but apart from that, entertaining, challenging, and satisfying.

Fall In Love

Fall in love with one of Jonas White's boys and you fall in love with man that will love you and respect you. Each if these four novels delivered on 'what every woman wants in a man.'

I highly recommend any Lacy Williams book(s). There's love everywhere there's a mountain man, cowboy or prodigal.

Very good books

Lacy Williams is a.very good writer.
This set of books have been a pleasure to read.
All the characters have different personalities that keep
you wondering what will happen next.
The last novel that included Libby and Walt, Ida and Tom,
I would love see a.book.about Tom turning over a new leaf and he
and Ida finding each other again!

Four are better than one

I had read all four books before but reading them all together in this box set made them far more enjoyable. A really good way to indulge in Christmas reading!

This is a series of tales of the White family. Each sibling and their adventures in finding the love of their lives. It is exciting and full of their adventures in finding their true loves. It is a fun and enjoyable read.

Great Stories

A compilation of previously written books I had previously read but enjoyed reading again. The stories are just as interesting the second time around.

Marriage of convenience at Christmas

I enjoy the marriage of convenience because they are necessary and help both persons who don't always see the positive of the relationship.

[Bill Rice · Rating 4 out of 5]

love the stores of this big family

It was great to see how pa had welcomed all those boys who needed a mentee into his home. Great series .

[Rhonda Cooper · Rating 5 out of 5]

Four stories from the Old West. Each takes you through a range of emotions with every tale told. Lacy Williams delivers another quality book.

[Cindy Pye · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a four-in-one book that I thoroughly enjoyed. The main characters change in each one, but are all connected in one extended family throughout. I enjoyed each story and the way they involved the same family with focus on different members in each one. This is a book I wished could have gone on longer, but the author chose well where and how to end it.

[Sherry · Rating 5 out of 5]

Four books in one

I read all four books and enjoyed each different one. Now I have to know where Ida's heart leads her. Lacy Williams always delivers!

[Linda Hoover · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Christmas Marriage of Convenience is four stories. Each has obstacles to overcome and a satisfying ending.

[Linda Klager · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lots of adventure

There was so much adventure and danger I'm this book. I was kept in suspense for this entire read.

I highly recommend delving into reading these stories.
