The Bride Herder #5
Herding the Hellions
Helena Hebert likes a tidy life. As the only child of a bookish father, she enjoys the freedom of running the roost in her small town of Wayfair Ohio, but when her aging father can no longer keep a job she is desperate to find a way to support both of them.
Augusta (Agi) Pennington has more than he can manage with three growing boys and burgeoning business. The seed money he dug from the Arizona desert is bringing him big returns but he can’t seem to find anyone willing to keep house for him anymore. Desperate to get a handle on his boys' behavior and their rapidly deteriorating home he seeks the help of his friend and the new bride herder in town. Will he have what it takes to win a bride?

I thoroughly enjoyed the antics of Agi's boys and the suspense of how much Helena could handle. When Agi and Helena married under less than honest circumstances, I was very curious to see if they could make their marriage work and maybe even find love. This was an incredibly fun story to read and I can't wait for more!

These books in the series are short read them in a couple of hours type of books. The fact that they are taking me days is because I only have been reading for a few minutes at night. This one has been one of my favorite and is really close to a five star book but I hold off only because that is me saving my five stars for something spectacular. Crazy I know but that’s me. This was a sweet love story and was told in the direction of the bride’s history first and where she and her father came from. Also the prospective grooms’s story. If you read the series a lot of it starts with all the brides together and then branches out from there. There is one bride that appears in EVERY story if only for a paragraph and it drives me to pull my hair out. She is no more special really than the others and I think the various authors of the series could mention one or two different characters within the entire series to keep it fresh especially towards these end books.

This book was so entertaining and joyful. I love how Danni Roans characters jump right in and take over the book. They are well written with a multitude of personalities. I especially love how she captures children. They can be the littlest stinkers and still you love their antics! Taking on 3 at once and being determined to mother them is a feat that Helena did well. She definitely had the patience and drive to do it, overcoming a lot!
Augusta needed a woman exactly like Helena to come into his life. He needs what he once had and Helena is just the woman for that situation too.
You are going to love this next installment in the Bride Herder series. Enjoy!

Another fantastic story in the Bride Herder series.
Ms. Roan does a fabulous job on this story. I loved the interaction between family members of our heroine’s new family. Any other woman would have left this family of boys with no control, father who works too much and lets his boys run wild and every house cleaner left as fast as they came.
The only reason this bride stays is she needs a place for her father and herself to stay and needs the stability. She will do what she has to in order to get her new family until control including her new husband.
This is such a good story with great characters and great story line. I love it.
Highly recommended.

I very much enjoyed this book. Lots of great characters, I especially liked Helena. Helena is strong, brave and smart. This book had me laughing at times but also wondering how Helena had such patience. Danni Roan writes such great stories that captures you heart but also keeps you guessing until the end. I enjoyed everything about this story.
Was given a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

Herding the Hellions
Helena needed to marry so her and her father had a place to live. Ago needed a wide to take care of his three boys, the house and meals. Except Ago skipped over the part where his three sons have been running wild and nobody has been cleaning the house. Enjoyed the book.

Excellent story pitifully executed
First I must say that conceiving and writing a novel is commendable. This one had the potential to be very good.
The poor grammar, occasional bad word choices and syntax and, most horrendous, calling a man Augusta made it extremely irritating. There, their, they're. Learn the difference.

This one will have you laughing!! The character development is excellent, especially Helena. Boys will be boys and Helena had so much patience with them as well as a lot of love to share. This is a great story with a HEA. I enjoyed it very much and highly recommend it.

Another heart-warming, sweet and clean western historical romance. A guaranteed HEA with Christian values, a romance every age with surely enjoy reading. I personally like the fact that even if they were only married due to practical reasons they found a happily ever after in their world.

Boys will be boys
All it takes to corral three little roughians is a strong woman determined to be a mother, a pinch grandpa tolerance, and a befuddled dad. All together you get the perfect family.

I loved this book. Helena had such a great attitude even when things looked bleak. I wanted to shake Agi but was glad to see he could be trained. This book was so much fun. The characters are wonderful and the story line keeps you reading to see how Helena will handle the different trials.

Herding the Hellions (The Bride Herder Book 5)
All of the books of this series are very good; but this one is the best. I laughed and sympathized with Helena every time the boys and/or Agj
tried her patience. With patience, persistence, and love she was able to work a miracle.

What a wonderful addition to this series, as another young lady finds her match.
Can Helena find a place for herself and her father?
Can Agi find someone to take care of his house and three boys without love involved?

Loved it!
It was nice seeing a bride letting her temper show instead of hiding her tears while trying to figure out what to do.
