The Reluctant Bridegroom

This is the 7th book in the House of Winslow series. I have loved the series so far. I am on book eight right now. I would strongly suggest that you start at the beginning if you are going to read the books. They would be good by themselves but they lose some of the effectiness alone because they each build on the previous one. Not only do these books teach you more about our nations history, but they do it in such an entertaining way. I have enjoyed these books immensely and The reluctant bridegroom is not an exception. I think this particular one starts out a little slow as it is setting the stage of the story plot but it does eventually get very good. I have truly enjoyed all of them so far.I highly recommend the entire series at least up throgh book eight so far.

I enjoy all of Gilbert Morris's books, but this is one of my favorites. I love books about the Oragon Trail and this one dids not dissapoint me.

In this exciting story of the House of Winslows, Rebekah Jackson learns the true meaning of disappiontment and loss. She finds herself married to a man she barely knows and who is quickly lossing intrest in her. Even when they fall into poverty she remains loyal and faithful, only to be stabbed in the back by him. Now lost, lonely, afraid, and pregnant, she finds her way to a womans small shanty and makes a home there. She also finds the Lord there. When her new friend and confidant becomes sick and dies, Rebekah is left to care for her child as well as her own. She decides to make a new life and travel west with her children. Sky Winslow is still bittered toward his wife for all the pain she caused him as well as by her death. He leads the small band of people on their way to Oregon. On the way he finds the Lord, himself, and... Rebekah. But will the dangerous that persist tear them apart, or draw them together. Happy Reading!

I think that this was not my favorite book in the Winslow series but it was definetly a good book. I like the way that you get so into the book that you actually feel like you are the main charcter. The book is about Sky Winslow who's wife betrays him and is now dead and Sky says that as long as he lives he will never marry again. WRONGO! But then he meets a girl named Rebekah and another girl named Rita. Who will win?

This book is about Sky Winslow, who is 1/4 indian. His wife betrayed him, and even though she is now dead, he still hates her. His hate for her has made him bitter, which doesn't help when raising his twelve-year old son. Asked to bring a wagon train of women to Oregon, he agrees. Two of the women on the train really make an impact on him, and in turn, he really makes an impact on them. I absolutely loved the descriptions as they made their way to Oregon in a bunch of wagons. If you like romance and things to do with the Oregon Trail, try reading this book!
