[SheLove2Read · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sooner or Later is the first book in this anthology. Its about a young woman (21) who runs away from an evil stepfather who had every intention of selling her for "a side of beef and some moonshine" to a man three times her age. While on the run, she is rescued by a man and his niece and nephew, who are traveling to Oklahoma to find the children's father, after their mother and the man's wife both died in a river crossing. This was just OK to me. The heroine is supposed to be 21 but acts more like she's 17, while the hero is 26 and acts like he's 40. The writing itself was fine, its just the story that wasn't my cup of tea.

The Bounty Hunter and The Bride is the second book and was a much better story. I really enjoyed this one. Its about two people who both need forgiveness in their lives in order to move on from past tragedies.

A Wealth Beyond Riches is the final story and was pretty good. It was about family and how money doesn't buy happiness. Good story.
