Engrossing, Original, Unexpected,
By A Customer
This review is from: Daniel'S Bride (Mass Market Paperback)
This was my first Linda Lael Miller and I found it , wonderfully romantic, spicy, and highly enoyable. How often do you read a historical romance that surprises you with its plot developments? There are a couple of stock characters--the "bad guys"--but all in all, nicely rounded and unique characterizations, a plot that advances well, good attention to detail, and a good dose of realism without sacrificing the romantic mood add up to a page-turner. A keeper. And by the way, for the reader who objected to it, a cousin of mine who lived in the South called her husband "Mr." their entire married life (1906-1957). It was a very different time.

Just okay...nothing special...,
By "klpepsi" (Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Daniel'S Bride (Mass Market Paperback)
Jolie McKibben had been in the wrong place at the wrong time. While in the company of Blake and Rowdy, the two desperados robbed a bank and killed a man in the process. Once they high-tailed it out of there, Jolie was left to suffer the consequences. Standing in the hot sun with a noose around her neck, her sentence was death by hanging. Daniel Beckman, a local farmer, happened on the scene. The town had an ordinance that could save Jolie, but someone would need to marry her, and quickly. Surprisingly, Daniel consents, and takes his bride home in silence. Daniel still mourns his deceased wife, but could use help on the farm with cooking and cleaning. It isn't long, though, before Jolie is performing other wifely duties for her aloof new husband. Between Daniel's new wife, and two orphaned children who end up living with them, Daniel begins to have difficulty protecting his heart. But there's more strife ahead, for the two desperados are on Jolie's trail.This was my second and last read by Ms. Miller. First of all, I 'm not a big fan of western romance, but there are some out there that appeal to me. This book was just okay for me - nothing special. My main problems with it were the overall depressing mood of the story, Jolie and Daniel were okay characters but not very memorable, and some of the plot elements were over the top. Jolie's friend, Nan, ends up marrying the evil Ira January, and subsequently Jolie ends up in danger from Blake, Rowdy and Ira. The plot lost a lot of its reality base for me, because it just seemed the author was trying to cram too much in it. As for a recommendation, if you're a fan of Ms. Miller and/or Western romance, this book is probably for you. Otherwise, I'd skip it.

Not so Much,
By A Customer
This review is from: Daniel'S Bride (Mass Market Paperback)
I am a fan of Linda Lael Miller but I found this book to be a bit monotonous. The way Jolie kept refering to Daniel as "Mr. Beckham" and he to her as "Mrs. Beckham" drove me crazy. I found myself skipping pages and skimming through chapters. I knew the ending far before I got to it. I did finish the book and I liked the story. I just didn't like the way it way expressed.
