My Take
I teared up in the first chapter... Really, Karen? Your books are supposed to be humorous and make me laugh... In the end though, I did get a few good laughs out of this story. And it was pretty beautifully put together. Who doesn't want a man who is devoted to you through thick and thin. I fell in love with this one from the beginning, and enjoyed every bit of it.

Or will they both have to give up the love of a lifetime?

Bound and Determined
As punishment for his recklessness, Private Bradley Willis is sent on an errand to help a retired cavalry officer move a herd across Indian Territory. No one told him the herd would be camels instead of cattle, nor that the officer's headstrong daughter, Ambrosia Herald, would seem to be trying to undermine the whole enterprise. He's definitely been saddled with more than he's bargained for.

My Take:
This was a real treat after having just finished reading Regina's novel Holding the Fort. I had a good laugh as Private Willis met his match, but then again so did Ambrosia, whose trek across the desert was not quite what she imagined it to be. Regina told a good tale from start to finish. Camel stories, horse tales, outlaws and a pretty woman, set the stage for a great plot, excitement and a little romance. It didn't take long to read through it.
Tied and True Wealthy Marianne Lister is in love with business assistant Calvin Hochstetler, but he can't see past the difference in their social status. When Marianne takes a job to prove that she is prepared for a life of hard work alongside the man of her dreams, will it be enough to convince Calvin to risk it all for love?
Putting it all together:
This is a collection I am sure you will enjoy, as I did. These authors are all wonderful in their own way, each with their own style. The stories are short and can be read relatively quickly, and yet they are deep and meaningful, and inspirational. For those of you who enjoy a humor romance combination, you will find this book to be adventurous and romantic.
I would definitely recommend it!
I am very grateful to Bethany House who sent me a free copy to read. I was not asked to review positively, only to give my honest opinion, which I have.
