The Blacksmith's Bride: A Western Mail Order Bride Romance

Brides of Brimstone #1

by Laura Fletcher

When Betsy Franklin gets off the mail coach in the Nebraska Territory town of Brimstone, she doesn’t know what to expect from the man she corresponded with and hopes to marry. When she finds Jed Wilcox waiting for her in front of the Brimstone Hotel, it’s love at first sight. They decide to go straight to the church and get married before going home to his house. Little do they know disaster is about to strike that will change their lives forever and throw their happy future into jeopardy.

This quaint little frontier town hides more secrets than Betsy can handle, and only her fledgling love for Jed saves her from destruction. A greedy tycoon, a corrupt sheriff, and a spoiled dandy control the town with an iron fist. They kill anyone who steps out of line, and they set their sights on Jed and Betsy. These powerful forces converge to tear them apart. Betsy must call on resources within herself she never knew she had to overcome overwhelming odds, but hidden friends come out of the woodwork to help her avert disaster. Can she and Jed survive the next few days, or will all their hopes come crashing down around their ears?

This is a good book, great characters, some to love, some to hate or really dislike! Great action, but not too much that you can get lost or confused. Jed and Betsy are good together, support one another and love one another.I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Betsy Franklin moved West as a mail order bride to start a new life with Jed Wilcox. She never would have guessed she would be in the middle of corruption due to a greedy tycoon,his son and a corrupt sheriff. Jed and Betsy have a long road ahead of them with gunfights, kidnapping and lots of love to survive the town they live in. This was an enjoyable book. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did. Books 2 & 3 look promising. If you enjoy reading this book please let your fellow readers know so they may also, enjoy a pleasant afternoon book.

A sweet, clean romance

This book and author definitely have promise in my personal opinion. The book is a very easy read and can be read in a couple of hours. This is also a clean mail order bride romance. Having been born and raised in Nebraska it piqued my interest when I first saw it. It will be interesting to see where Ms. Fletcher takes this series.

Lots of adventure

This book is chock full of adventure and danger. I was kept on the edge of my seat the whole time I read this story. Right from the start, there are threats, kidnapping, gun fights and so much more. If you love a great rims with lots of action, you'll love this book as much as I did.

The start of a new series called Brides Of Brimstone, it is a book that held my interest until the end. This is Betsy Franklin and Jed Wilcox's story there is a greedy tycoon, a corrupt sheriff, and a spoiled dandy that all made for a good storyline.
