highly recommended

Misreading an order for bridles, a New England farmer sends his four sisters-in-law as mail-order brides to Lickwind, Wyoming. When the four women step off the train, astonishment turns to mayhem as the men of the town suddenly spruce up and make time for courting. Since James Collingswood - still without tack for his horses - can't afford train tickets to send the women back, they'll have to stay. But what future is there in Lickwind for: Matty, the sociable sister who irritates James' very soul with her unending friendliness to the eager men of Lickwind. Corrine, the mom-to-be still so pained over her young husband's death that she barely knows Luke Collingswood is alive. Bess, who insists that the town must have a church, reform the brothel women, and straighten up the saloon keeper, Gideon Rikers. Bertie, who can outperform any man she ever meets...until the mysterious Thomas Hardin becomes her personal protection agency. Under such absurd circumstances, the sisters will certainly find laughter in Lickwind...but will they also find love? One thing's for sure - the town will never be the same again!

A Good Read!

I loved this book. I read it twice in less than 2 weeks. If I'd had time, I'd have read it twice in 2 days. The stories were heart warming. I can't decide which is the best.

Delightful Tale of Four Sisters

I started reading this book and finished it in two days, even with my busy schedule. These stories about how four sisters end up in Wyoming due to a mistake from a newspaper ad are extremely funny and have great insights to how God wants us all to give Him our trust and love throughout all our "trials" in life. Each sister has her own characteristics and ends up finding her perfect male complement in the small Wyoming town of Lickwind. The stories made me want to curl up with a cup of hot chocolate and remember the good old days I had growing up in a small town in Michigan. I definitely recommend this book of treasures. You won't want to put it down until it's done and then you will want it to continue.

Christian Romance in Wyoming

This is a 4-1 christian historical romance. If you do not enjoy reading about faith, God's love, and people finding their way, this is not a book for you. It contains four short novellas (about 100 pages each). The characters remain the same through each novella.

The scenario for this book is that four sister were shipped to Wyoming by their evil brother-in-law as a trick. He was supposed to send bridles for horses instead he sent brides. No on in Lickwind Wymoing was married, mostly men who worked on farms and ranches. So when four eligible and pretty women show up on a train it is the talk of the town! Instead of going back home, the sisters remain there to see if they could make it on their own.

Matilda (Matty) is the friendly, motherly one
Corrie is widowed and with child
Bess is tough and sometimes bossy
Bertie is a tomboy and the youngest.

All four women find happiness and something to make them stay in Wyoming. If you liked Little Women you would probably like this book. It is about sisterly love, courage, faith, and most of all love.

blue ribbon winner for best in class

I really enjoy 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 books with interwoven stories. I've read quite a few of this kind and think this is the best of all of them, or at least one of two of the best (California Chances being the other). If you enjoy this kind of book, this is a must read.

Fun but not Profound

I found this an enjoyable, although not a profound read. It was a very light diversion which may have been improved with more character development, and therefore, a longer story about each character. While I will probably try some of the novels written by the individual authors, I won't try another collection of short stories, as in this book.
