The majority of the stories were ok but short and quick reads for the most part. Some were better than others with some of them too similar in plot and storyline for my taste. There were numerous errors throughout the novels/novellas. Some were glaring like changes in names of major characters while others were ones that spell check would not catch as were real words but just not the right ones. This collection of stories could use an edit by a beta reader or a professional to catch what spell check missed and other inconsistencies.
The stories are short and a decent plot but I stopped reading when the typos became more and more frequent. When your character name changes from Nellie to Sarah mid sentence, it is apparent that the time needed to proof read was not provided.
This is a mail order bride collection by Christian Michael. They are short and heart warming, and all have a happy ever after. Shows how strong men and women were in the west. Thanks
