About the author

COLLEEN L. REECE writes under the pen name Connie Loraine and is one of Heartsong's most popular authors. Colleen learned to read beneath the rays of a kerosene lamp. The kitchen, dining room, and her bedroom in her home near the small logging town of Darrington, Washington, were once a one-room schoolhouse where her mother taught all eight grades! An abundance of love for God outweighed the lack of electricity or running water and provided the basis for many of Colleen's 140+ books.

Her rigid "refuse to compromise" stance has helped sell more than 6 million copies that help spread the good news of repentance, forgiveness, and salvation through Christ. Colleen helped launch Barbour Publishing's Romance Reader flip books, the American Adventure series, and her own Juli Scott Super Sleuth Christian teen mystery series. In 1998 Colleen was inducted into the HeartSong Hall of Fame in recognition for her contribution to Heartsong's success.

[Judy · Rating 5 out of 5]

great stories. All 4 connected to the previous one

[Gwenyth Lynes · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was another book that was in fact four separate stories, although they were linked by the writer taking one character out of the previous book and expanding on his life story and his search for truth and love. The characters were tested physically and spiritually through misunderstandings and the wrestling of right and wrong over a century ago in the rugged terrain of the wild west

Phew! And I am done! Frontier Brides is an enjoyable collection of four inter-connected western historical romances. It was a lil' too preachy at times for my liking, but overall, as the saying goes... it was a "good read" :)

Absolutely loved it - couldn't stop reading from cover to cover. Yes, has religion in it, but that was weaved in with the story - fantastic!

Pretty cliche but I found them enjoyable to read when I had nothing else to

[April Suter · Rating 3 out of 5]

Four books into one.
Silence in the Sage--Gideon returns to his family's Texan ranch after ministry training in New Orleans. His brother leaves mysteriously and Judith arrives with her nephew Joel.
Whispers in the Wilderness--Joel, a young preacher cowboy, goes on his quest to find his biological father and a wife.
Music in the Mountains--Everyone has been pairing up just like the animals on the ark and Smokey Travis is feeling like the very odd man out. Can he save the sweet Columbine and get her heart?
Captives in the Canyon--Andy wants to find his own way and capture the wild stallion Sheik and maybe the heart of a girl from Boston.
The author will retell the events from different characters point of view--sometimes retelling the story is too repetitive.

This book was boring! I never even finished it. I want to throw it in the garbage but is a library book and i cannot, so back it goes! I did not even know what the plot was, it was too wordy. I give this book an F.

I enjoyed reading 4 stories about cowboys in the west who come to find love...in more ways that one.

[Necole · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book. What a great example of how we should put our trust in God.

[Haley · Rating 2 out of 5]

The stories were nice but the writing really lacked. The reason why I finished it was that once I start and commit to a book I have a really hard time giving up.

[IrenesBookReviews · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good clean easy to read stories. These actually have men as the main character. The book is worth reading!

[Virginia · Rating 1 out of 5]

Didn't read the title that well. Christian romance novel with apparently four different stories. Read one, way too smaltzy, scarrine and predictable for my taste. Didn't finish.
