![]() ![]() "The Bartered Bride Romance Collection: Nine Historical Stores of Arranged Marriages by 9 Various Authors was really good historical reads. ![]() In fact, Barbour could pull those four out and publish them in a separate book and have another good thing going. I liked the continuity between these particular stories - in seeing the same characters and the same setting and the progress of the relationships and the theme. The four stories included in the middle of the book were my favorites not coincidentally, these four novellas all centered around a group of sisters who descend on a man-heavy town thinking they had been bought as mail order brides. Overall, these novellas were enjoyable with likable characters and believable plots that didn't feel forced or rushed. I felt like most of the stories fell into that last category - which seemed odd to me as there is an entirely separate collection of stories by Barbour called The Convenient Bride. ![]() ![]() The Bartered Bride Collection gathers together 9 novellas on the theme of arranged or "convenient" marriages. ![]()
