Finally A Bride - Another delightful read from Vickie McDonough, April 16 2011
By AJHawke.blogspot.com "A J" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Finally a Bride (Paperback)
Noah Jeffers enters town determined to make up for past misdeeds. Reporter Jacqueline Davis is determined to nail her story. Will she uncover Noah's secret before he can capture her heart? With nowhere else to go, ex-con Carly Payton returns to the Lookout boardinghouse. Garret Corbett is looking for an upstanding wife, not some jailbird. What will he do when overpowered by Carly's unassuming appeal? Does love deserve a second look?Another fun story from Lookout, Texas by Vickie McDonough. The Anonymous Bride (Texas Boardinghouse Brides, Book 1) introduced us to some fun characters including Jacqueline `Jack' as a little girl. Second Chance Brides (Texas Boardinghouse Brides, Book 2) gave us more about the delightful, impulsive little girl. Now in Finally a Bride she is a young woman coming of age and gets her own story.
I liked that Vickie McDonough kept the fun, impulse edge to Jack's character while at the same time presenting her as a young woman. Having read the first two, I had not problem envisioning Jack on the roof trying to get her story as a reporter in the opening page of the novel. Fun stuff.
This was a satisfactory conclusion to the stories of the characters first introduced in The Anonymous Bride, but still stands alone as a story of its own. Looking forward to more lively, delightful stories from this author.

Finally a Bride, April 11 2011
By weatherlover1 - Published on Amazon.com
Jacqueline "Jack" is now 10 years older and all grown up. She wants to be a reporter for the big city of Dallas but first feels like she needs a big story for her small down of Lookout to get there. She is still the tomboy you know and love from the first two books but she is now a woman. She is hot on the trail of the Mayor as she feels he is hiding something for the city and she will do just about anything to get the story.Noah finds himself back in Lookout now as the preacher not the troublemaker he was 10 years ago. The town does not know its him and either does Jack. Noah has never forgotten her and he hopes to show her and the town that he is a changed man and maybe he can even win her heart.
Carly who was the 3rd mail order bride is also back in the final book. She has served her time in jail and now wants to start her life in Lookout if the town's people will except her. Garret is finally ready to settle down and find the right woman and he find's himself with growing feelings for Carly but will he be able to put her past behind them both and find true love?
Its always bitter sweet to come to the final book in a series like this because you have come to know the characters very well and this is the final chapter. The book did not disappoint! Jack is such a fun character she had me laughing a lot and shaking my head at some of her silly attempts at getting the story. Jack also had to face her abuse from her first father in this book as she comes to care for Noah. I really like how the author touches on some sensitive subjects but includes humor and a realness that just makes the book great.
The side store of Carly and Garret was okay. Again this could have been its own book. These characters again seem to get short changed and never get to fully develop like the lead characters did. It was a good story though and I was glad to see everyone find happiness in the end.
Over all a great ending to a fun series. When I was done reading this book I felt the story had been fully told and did not leave me wishing for another book like some series I have read. If you like western romance then this is a great series and a must read! I am looking forward to reading more books from this author.

Best of the Series, April 6 2011
By Karen Witemeyer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Finally a Bride (Paperback)
I have thoroughly enjoyed Vickie McDonough's Boardinghouse Brides series, and this final installment was by far my favorite. Jaqueline "Jack" Davis has been the highlight of each book with her rambunctious, tomboy ways. What a treat to see her all grown up with that rambuctious streak only slightly dimmed. She still finds scrapes to get into and conclusions to jump to, but this time there's a handsome man to catch her when she falls.Noah Jeffers is a hero with a heart for God and a past to atone for. He stole my heart from the beginning with his vulnerability and determination to set things right no matter how uncomfortable returning to his home town became.
Cameo appearances by the other Boardinghouse Brides made for a delightful feeling of coming home. And hooray that big-hearted Rand Kessler finally finds the woman meant for him. And Carly and Garrett's love story, while secondary to Jack and Noah, was no less enjoyable.
Town secrets, suspicious robberies, and even a case of murder add spice and drama to this warm-hearted story. I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy fun, historical romance. If you haven't read the other books in the series, don't let that stop you. This book stands alone and takes place ten years after the previous book, so it is easy to follow without the others.
