Well we are now on book three of the Brides of Bliss
County series by Linda Lael Miller. And as expected THE
MARRIAGE SEASON is Bex's time up at bat. All three books
have centered on women who have shared a special
friendship that has lasted from childhood to adulthood. Each
of these friends had the same desire to finally find that
mister right. All had to go through some detours along
the way, but Hadleigh and Melody are now married and on
their way to having a family with the love of their life.
THE MARRIAGE SEASON is a wonderfully candid example of a
contemporary western with the requisite ranch, horses,
kids and dogs—wouldn't be a Linda Lael Miller story
without pets. Running a ranch business is a difficult
job, but there is so much to offset the hard work. Tate
decided that the corporate world left him little or no
family time. With the death of his wife, Tate had to
rethink his priorities—and he decided his two little
sons needed him. Life on a ranch demands a strong work
ethic, backbone, and even a certain amount of luck.
Finding the love of your life also takes a bit of luck
and more important the courage to put your heart at risk.
Both Tate and Bex had hearts that were bruised from past
experiences and candidly were reluctant to put their
hearts out there again. Their mutual attraction could
certainly be handled without making any promises of
commitment. This suited them both—at least in the
beginning.
But when attraction becomes love then the rules of the
game change and that's when the fun starts.
We meet some fabulous new characters in THE MARRIAGE
SEASON and are surprisingly touched by a couple of hard
headed seniors whose hearts are in the right place but
are definitely missing tact. Of course we revisit our
friends from the first two books in the Brides of Bliss County
series. The
Brides of Bliss County novels do not have to be read in order,
but it would be a shame to miss some of the most
endearing love stories that feature rugged handsome
cowboys.
Will the marriage pact be fulfilled? Return to Mustang
Creek, Wyoming, with #1 New York Times bestselling author
Linda Lael Miller for more Brides of Bliss County!
Since Hadleigh, Melody and Bex—the best of best friends—
entered into a marriage pact, two of them have found (and
married) the men of their hearts. But Bex doesn't think
she'll be as fortunate as the others. Her own first love
died years ago in a faraway war, and Bex has lost hope for
a happy marriage of her own. She concentrates on her
business, a successful chain of fitness clubs, instead.
Then, when single father Tate Calder comes to Mustang
Creek with his two sons in tow, who befriend Bex's eight-
year-old nephew, she and the handsome, aloof newcomer are
constantly thrown together. But is the marriage season
over? Or can a man with doubts about love be the right
husband for a woman who wants it all?
