The Bridegroom (A Stone Creek Novel, 5)

I love this book. I have enjoyed reading all of the Stone Creek series.

I love Miller's writting style and have read most of her books. Each book is special and enjoyable sometimes touching and sad. You can never go wrong with any of her books so ENJOY. My teen daughter loved the cover!

When Lydia Fairmont finds herself in trouble, there's only one person she can turn to for help. Unfortunately, Lydia hasn't seen Gideon Yarbro in years. Lydia sends her letter anyway, and at the very last minute, Gideon arrives. The hasty decision Gideon makes to get Lydia out of trouble changes their lives, and not all for the better. Gideon may be married to sweet Lydia now, but he has an angry fiancé to deal with, and a dangerous job waiting for him back home in Stone Creek. Lydia loves Gideon, but she doesn't want to be wife in name only and Gideon doesn't think he can stay and keep Lydia out of danger. Will Gideon and Lydia have the chance to make their marriage a real one? The Bridegroom's rich sensuality and authentic Old West storyline is classic Linda Lael Miller. While Gideon struggles with his decisions, his brothers Rowdy and Wyatt try to steer him in the right direction, reminding him that the love of a good woman is worth fighting for. Lydia is full of sweet fire and Gideon's sexy grin could melt any woman's heart. The Bridegroom is page after page of angst, excitement, and sizzling passion. Nannette Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

I will read any thing Linda Lael Miller writes. I have less than five authors with this special designation. I like well written action love stories that I do not completely depend up on bedroom action to hold a readers interest. Linda's stories are well writen and have a decent plot.

I love Linda Lael Miller. She is one of my favorite authors. Now, The Bridegroom, was not my favorite book by her (by a long shot), but I still thoroughly enjoyed reading it. She has great heroes and heroines, and her books just have great charm to them. They are usually light, but there is a lot of warmth to them. This book is Gideon's story, younger brother to Wyatt in The Rustler. In this story, Lydia Fairmont, a childhood friend of Gideon's, must marry a despicable banker if she wants to keep her family home. Seeing as her two widowed aunts live with her, she knows that she must go through with the marriage for their sake. But she is secretly hoping that Gideon will come rescue her before the marriage. Gideon made her promise to mail him a letter asking for help if she ever needed him for anything. So she does mail the letter, but it is down to the wire. The day before her wedding, Gideon shows up. Lydia feels like it is too late though so Gideon has to kidnap her and take her to Stone Creek where his brothers live. He has just taken a job as a miner in Stone Creek, but is really doing some undercover work for the owners of the mine. But when they get to Stone Creek, his brother convinces him to marry Lydia for her sake and reputation, and so has to prevent him from going to jail for kidnapping Lydia. What starts out as a marriage of convenience for both of them, soon turns into a love match. Gideon can't stop thinking about his virgin bride, especially with both of them sharing a bed at night. But Gideon knows that once is job is complete, he will be leaving town. Or maybe he won't if Lydia can make him fall in love with her. I really enjoyed this story! 5 stars!
