Wagon Train Bride (Sarah)
This book was touching in many ways. Sarah was forced to leave home after her father remarried. His new wife wanted his undivided attention, so she insisted his daughter either married someone he chose or chose a husband for her self. Read the story to see the outcome of her search.

Not this author’s best 🙁
Normally I enjoy Ms. Lynne’s short mail order bride books. Short, sweet and generally well written. This one, however, fell short.
It’s 1880. Why did Sarah have to take a wagon train to Nebraska? There were trains by then. Also, why would it take four months for a wagon train to go just two states over, and with no mountains?
Why did Sarah scream in anger at Bryce when they ran into each other? She had no idea that he was Arthur’s nephew, so he could have very well been a customer staying at her hotel…
Why on earth was there a “problem” with her remarrying? She was a widow! She wasn’t divorced! Why did people look down on them for marrying? Being widowed and remarrying is not shameful at all.
Sorry for the low rating.

Good Story
It was a good read, but contained parts that I didn't like or understand. First, if the author is going to kill a character off, I don't want to get to know him that well. Second, Sarah thought, "The only problem had been that she was still a married woman." She went on to say that the lawyer said v that she would have to have her marriage dissolved How? Her husband was dead. There was no doubt about that. A marriage ends at death "until death parts us." She was a widow and therefore free to remarry.

Their hotel
I thought the book title was very misleading as there was not much about a wagon train in this book. the book has more to deal with regarding Gilbert's hotel.
