A Match Made in Texas is a wonderful collection of novellas! I loved the role "The Matchmaker" played in the first three stories and how she got her own story in the last one!
**A Cowboy Unmatched by Karen Witemeyer**
I started A Cowboy Unmatched with such eagerness! After reading Karen Witermeyer's previous two "Archer" novels, I could hardly wait to read Neill's story and... it was even better than I had hoped!!
I absolutely loved Neill in this book. It was so sweet how he went above and beyond the actions expected and helped Clara in so many ways. I also really liked the new character, Clara. Her reactions to certain things that happened showcased what a strong woman she was.
I think this is the end to the "Archer" stories, which made it a bittersweet read. I loved getting to know these brothers and I'd love to read more stories with them, should Karen decide to write more "Archer" books; but, if not, this was a great way to end it!
**An Unforeseen Match by Regina Jennings**
An Unforeseen Match was another great novella! I've previously read one of Regina Jennings' full-length novels and enjoyed it, so I was pretty sure I'd like this story - and I did! :)
I loved how a couple of the things from the previous novella were incorporated into the story (for instance, how the barn was patched in places with mud, which Clara from A Cowboy Unmatched had done).
I really liked the characters and definitely felt for Grace and the struggles she endured by being blind. I loved the way Clayton helped Grace as she made adjustments in her life. Great read!
**No Match For Love by Carol Cox**
In my opinion, No Match for Love wasn't as good as the first two novellas.
In Dry Gulch, TX, a town near nothing but a tumbleweed, a do-gooder keeps panning out acts of kindness for others in need, resulting in romantic nuggets. Every two nuggets buy a wedding ring. Expect Bible-toting, praying cowboys in this here neck of Texas. "Preaching" restricted to wedding ceremonies.
After finishing reading these 4 Texan novellas, I were hankerin' to take my own gal in a stagecoach to Dry Gulch for a second honeymoon.
Fun romance, historical (sometimes hysterical) cowboy style.
All stories begin in 1893. Spur for a fast romantic reading ride.
A COWBOY UNMATCHED -Karen Witemeyer
Neil Archer dreams of returning to a family ranch deserted 2 years earlier. First he had something to prove. Very pregnant Widow Danvers' roof leaked. Work to be had. The "shack" needed more than shingles. Was that what Neill was lured there for? The shotgun introduction could lead to anything. A secret someone caused 2 lives to meet head-to-head. Just how a kiss works.
AN UNFORESEEN MATCH -Regina Jennings
Grace O'Malley, newly visually handicapped; no, blind & without her teaching position, gets moved into the old Clara Danvers house (novella #1). Could she snag a husband with an advertisement during next month's land run? Cowboy Clayton yearns for some of that land, but a man can't race with a dead horse. Dern the luck. Clayton answers the ad posted in the Irish lass's behalf. A handyman's pay might buy a fast mare.
NO MATCH FOR LOVE -Carol Cox
Lucy's sewing circle prays for her plight just prior to Pastor delivering a secret sealed envelope with an offer. An answer? To find out, she heads to the Andrew Simms' ranch as companion to his aged aunt.
