RITA Award finalist Karen Witemeyer pens heartwarming historical romances that lift the spirit and the soul. Short-Straw Bride finds Meredith Hayes struggling to let go of her childhood crush on Travis Archer - the strapping young lad who saved her as a little girl. With a sensible proposal from the eligible Roy Mitchell on the table, it's time for her to move on. But when Meredith overhears a plot to drive Travis and his brothers off their coveted land, she has no choice but to intervene.

"Really cute book that's meant for an older teen audience, but beautifully written with the innocence of the characters. I also love the fact that the author doesn't throw out swear words like they're going out of style, but uses other methods to exhibit the characters frustrations and misunderstanding. Loved this book, and I can't wait to read another of Karen Witemeyer's novels"

Quotes

  • “The story seems a bit clichéd at first, but with plenty of details, along with a skillful writing style, it is a page-turner. It is refreshing to see the main characters in this story as Christians from the start and how they turn to faith to deal with their troubles and blessings.”

    " Really liked it, but was disappointed that Witemeyer didn't use a Bible name for the main man, even though she had a reason for it. Can't wait for the next book! "

    " I enjoyed the book, if the book doesn't grab me within 10 mins I won't read it. This book was easily readable and I enjoyed it, and the characters. Its not a hardcore romance with a lot of sex scenes but it was a sweet romance. The main male character was charming and his brothers characters were cool. I recommend it. "

    " This book was great I enjoyed both Travis and Meredith and the action scene towards the end. What really inspired was the lesson when we lock people out we become self contained and unable to reach out to others also. "

    " This is my first book by author Karen Witemeyer. Sure I will be reading more of her books. Short-Straw Bride is a great read with characters that draw you in from the first pages of the book. Did not want to put it down. A faith inspired romance that is a must read. "
