This review appears on my blog: https://confessionsofabookwormweb.wordpress.com/2016/04/08/book-review-the-preachers-bride-collection/

I am going to do the same thing I did for The Texas Brides Collection, write a review on each story and then give an overall review at the end of this post. Let's get started.

Remember Me by Kimberley Comeaux:
This story was pretty predictable on what would happen and it was pretty anti-climatic. I did like that both the main characters were from England. 2.5/5 Stars.

Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy by Kristy Dykes:
I liked that there was a lot of humor in this story, and it was very sweet. However, it was also predictable what would happen in the end. 3/5 Stars.

Miss Bliss and Bear by Darlene Franklin:
I didn't really like this story, even though it had an interesting premise for the plot. It was really choppy in some places and that threw me off. 2/5 Stars.

A Bride for the Preacher by Sally Laity:
I also didn't enjoy this one. It was really quick, and the main plot point happened near the end, making it feel rushed. 2/5 Stars.

Renegade Husband by DiAnn Mills:
This was one of the longer stories in the collection. It was good, except I expected there to be more action than there was and the romance seemed to all be one-sided. 3/5 Stars.

Silence in the Sage by Colleen L. Reece:
I liked this story, but I felt like it could have been shorter and the plot twist was just okay. 3/5 Stars.

Overall I preferred The Texas Brides Collection, even though there were more stories in it, they were shorter and I just enjoyed them a bit better. Most of the stories in this collection were too long and were really predictable - I like having some surprises along the way. Therefore I am giving this collection 2.5/5 Stars. However, I will still read a few more of these collections even though this one was kind of disappointing.

You know you've found something wonderful when you hook two of your four sisters on every book collection they can get their hands on.

Now all I have to do is get them a copy of this set.

I normally am not as interested in a collection of novellas but this one kept me on my tops, sandwiched between two spectacularly sweet novellas you will find several romances set around preachers and the women they love, or don't yet love as they navigate their feelings, the people who may try keeping them apart.

Each of these are perfect for an evening reading time on the porch as the sun goes down.

I loved these stories !
I especially was excited to read this book because some of my favorite authors are involved. I want to thank Barbour for having the creative foresight to know that sometimes I just want to read about a certain subject or location. It makes it that much easier to satisfy my craving :)
The stories in this book were great :) I loved all the various different ways the authors used to imagine preachers getting their brides. It was wonderful. I highly recommend this book and have actually bought a physical copy for myself.
I volunteered to read this book from Barbour Publishing Group in return for my honest feedback. the thoughts and opinions expressed with in are my own.

This was a very nice collection. They were all previously published works, but worked nicely together in this collection. I had read some before, and others were new to me. They were nice, solid novellas. Worth the time to read them.
I received a copy of this book in order to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own.
