Every book was better than the last

I have seen this box sets the Bluebonnet brides for a while on Amazon and finally decided to give it a try. It is about the Bentley boys brothers and cousins and the nephew in a banker that isn’t related at all who are fine brides in bluebonnet Texas. Every book in my opinion was better than the last and with the exception of a few things that were historic Lee an accurate this is really worth reading. I would’ve given it five stars but as I said when it comes to historical romance there shouldn’t be historical inaccuracies. Like for example saying that a 21 she still young and will eventually get married in the 1800s 21 wasn’t young not with marriage was a consideration. Despite that though it is a small part in quickly forgotten with the great writing awesome adventures and funny happenings in Bluebonnet. Absolutely loved these books. So much so I quickly download it brides of copper creek another box set by Charlotte Dearing. As far as these books go you should read them if you love historical romance you’ll fall in love with these books there more than just an hour long some two and three hours and will take you a while to finish and it’ll be a pleasure to do so. I highly recommend them and love these books.

No Blue Ribbons for Blue bonnet Grace

It is always so incredibly annoying when an author, supposedly a historical fiction author, just makes stuff up. First, she stated that Magnolia , Texas, is in Hill Country. Well, no. Magnolia is actually in the Piney Woods of East Texas, near Houston. Then she states that Pecos is near Magnolia! Pecos is in West Texas, over eight hours away!

I was enjoying the story but I couldn't get past this ignorance, inattention to detail, whatever you want to call it. Historical fiction needs to make the reader believe it could have happened. Not happening in this story!

I love book series about a particular town or family

And this one fits the bill so nicely! Sisters left alone, each finding love in a small Texas town, bring joy to their spouses by just being themselves. Forgiveness goes a long way in sealing relationships, as does open and frank conversation. Love seals the cracks, and happiness abounds. What more could could a growing family want? Sounds like a happily ever after coming up to me!
Thanks for a well-written set of goodreads, Ms Dearing. Loved every one of them!!!

Enjoyable Plots and Characters

This collection of stories was fun to read. At different points along the way, I was moved to tears, laughed aloud, was disgusted and dismayed by villains, and rejoiced with the happy couples at the end of each story. As a matter of fact, if it wasn't for some questionable turns of phrase and a smattering of awful editorial misses, this would be a 5 star rating for me.
If you love clean historical romance peopled with characters of high moral fiber when and where it counts, you might want to consider reading this collection.

Where do you enjoy all three of the books in this set. The only thing I wish is that the short story at the end was longer. It felt rushed. I really wish they had done better with that last story. The writing did get better as they went along. The first book seemed more stunted in each book got a little better and better. All the books are clean and I love reading stories that are always sit in the same town. I do wish that they were more in the same town going forward. The fact that this book was kindle unlimited made it a bonus.

This was a free offer on Kindle Unlimited and included four major stories and a hurried story at the end. All of the stories are set near Magnolia Texas and revolve around three brothers looking for wives, who end up being three sisters. The stories are clean, safe, and pleasant. I enjoyed my time reading them.

Mail Order Brides

Some of my favorite romance stories are mail-order brides because they are clean, wholesome and educational. Learning about our pioneer heritage and the hard working grit of our ancestors helps me count my blessings and better appreciate the trials of others. These are well written with delightful characters.

I had high hopes for this collection. The writing was reasonable, and I liked the characters well enough. Romance was almost completely lacking from these, which is the point of mail order bride stories. For example, Caleb and Ginny have their first kiss at their wedding, despite having known each other for years. There is zero communication about their feelings.

A sweet read of several mail order bride books. All these young ladies are headed to Texas to meet their grooms. All sorts of mischief and mayhem can happen. Not one of them thought they would fall in love. All are great and have beautiful hea’s.

A Wonderful Series

Each story is captivating and a stand alone story. I am thrilled that the author included more than the three sisters making this romantic series that much more interesting.

These stories follow Sisters, Grace, Faith & Hope who become mail order brides to 3 brothers who live in Magnolia, TX.

These are clean wholesome books with HEA’s.

I enjoyed the characters but after a while the stories seemed all the same. All the ladies needed protecting. Only the last story didn't have a mail-order bride. And that one was so short it felt like an add on for readers who wanted to know what happened to Caleb.
