Wyoming Brides

Author: Debbie Macomber
Genre: Christian Fiction
Publisher: Mira
Pages: 464
Rating: Recommend


(Dana's Note: This is 2 books in 1, Denim and Diamonds and The Wyoming Kid)


Synopsis: Denim and Diamonds: Rancher Chase Brown has always loved Letty Ellison, but nine years she left their small town for a different kind of life. Now she's come home to Red Springs with her dreams in tatters - and a five-year-old child in tow. She's ready to trade the false glitter of Hollywood for the true happiness of being a rancher's fie. Chase's wife. But is it too late? 


The Wyoming Kid: Rancher Lonny Ellison is an ex-rodeo cowboy who's used to the adulation of women. But that's something he doesn't get from Joy Fuller. In fact, they argue constantly. His sister, Letty, says it's because he's interested in Joy. . .and Lonny figures she's right. Can he convince Joy that marriage to the Wyoming Kid will be as exciting as an eight-second bull ride and can be as sweet as the cookies she likes to bake. 

Review: Denim and Diamonds was my favorite of the two. The Wyoming Kid was slightly drawn out and repetitious. However, Macomber does a great job of tying these stories together in one novel. 


Macomber is one of my favorite authors for sweet, cute (non-trashy) romantic reads. While predictable and formulaic, I can't help but wish my life was as such a neatly wrapped package as the characters' in her books.


If you like Debbie Macomber, this is a must read. If you've never read Debbie Macomber, these two novels are a great introduction of her style.
