I’m conflicted because this gave me 100% of the vibes I wanted but didn’t really give me a great story to go with it. I wanted to be so much more intrigued and invested than I was. But alas.

I found this book to be nothing to write home about. The Heroine was too meek even for my taste, the Hero was a medium sized asshole for most of the book and both of them were so dense it annoyed me.

A truly delicious book, wildly worth loving. This book by far has been my favorite HQN to date.

Linda Lael Miller's The Bridegroom was a 5 star read for me. fifth book of the Stone Creek Series, I read it as a standalone - it's the first book I'd ever read from the author and I'd been dying to read it since I laid eyes on the stunning cover.

This Bridegroom had all the elements - family, hardships, adventure, changing seasons, drama, action, revenge and unquestionably, a slow build romance I felt as if I was living life in the historical west during the 1900's and it was ever so passionate and charming. I will now be locating the rest of the series for my collection!

*This Bridegroom is adult themed*

10 Years ago Gideon Yarbro had made a promise to come for Lydia if she ever needed him too.
Now Lydia Fairmont, 18 is about to marry a wealthy but foul man to save her family from bankruptcy when she feels the urgency to send forward the letter she'd received over 10 years ago to Gideon Yarbro. Receiving the famous long ago written letter, Gideon takes a chance on kidnapping Lydia and saving her from making a reckless mistake.

A marriage of convenience so she doesn't have to marry the fat banker! Also, he's workin' undercover for the man.

I loved this book! I devoured it in 3 hours.

The plot was a little lame, but the love was sweet and the sex was steamy! It was good to see the whole Yarbro gang again.

I almost enjoyed this but not quite. The writing is ok but the characters leave a lot to be desired. Gideon is flat and spineless and Lydia was as well though she got called stubborn and willful a lot, she was actually pretty passive. The family dynamics here are pretty good but because I haven't read the rest of the series, it feels a little underdeveloped. I laughed out loud at this narrative at the end with the excessive drama as though Miller knew all of her characters were paper dolls on a desert diorama and was desperately trying to make it interesting with every cliche in the book.
