Short-Straw Bride by Karen WitemeyerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars 💛💛💛💛
What a fun, adventurous and laugh-out-loud story! Karen Witemeyer always deliver with entertaining characters, sigh-worthy romance and danger and suspense and this book definitely did not lack any of these.
The Archer brothers was great. Point. I loved how they interacted with each other, had each others’ back and just generally was a bond not easily broken. Even though I adored all four brothers and Travis with this misplaced burden of responsibility, Crockett was the brother I enjoyed most and am looking forward to reading more about!
Meredith (Meri) - even with her physical disability which sometimes slowed her down, her vibrant, fighting personality was a force to be reckoned with which could not be halted. I enjoyed her interactions with the brothers and her wars with Seth.
Even though we saw the bad guy early on and you expect some altercation to happen, the author gave me so many other twists and turns and entertaining events that when the actual event took place, it wasn’t expected in the way it happened. I definitely turned pages to see what will happen.
The romance between Travis and Meri was sweet and innocent even though they had a married of convenience. I admired Travis for courting Meri before he expected a ‘real’ marriage.
Trust in God’s plans and protection and relying on your neighbours was a strong message which hit close to home.
If you never tried this author, I highly recommend her books.

About the book:
No one steps on Archer land. Not if they value their life. But when Meredith Hayes overhears a lethal plot to burn the Archer brothers off their ranch, a twelve-year-old debt compels her to take the risk.
Fourteen years of constant vigilance hardens a man. Yet when Travis Archer confronts a female trespasser with the same vivid blue eyes as the courageous young girl he once aided, he can't bring himself to send her away. And when an act of sacrifice leaves her injured and her reputation in shreds, gratitude and guilt send him riding to her rescue once again.
Four brothers. Four straws. One bride. Despite the fact that Travis is no longer the gallant youth Meredith once dreamed about, she determines to stand by his side against the enemy that threatens them both. But will love ever be hers? Or will Travis always see her merely as a short-straw bride?
