Old Maid Bride (Texas Brides) Kindle Edition

Terminally-ill Jim Delaney offers the Circle T Ranch as the incentive for marrying his spinster sister. Widower Myles Donovan agrees. Myles needs a wife to help raise his daughter and to further his political aspirations. Who would be more perfect to fulfil both roles than a prim and proper schoolteacher from an old, established family?
Hot-tempered Isabel Delaney turns out to be much more than Myles bargained for. She has a mind of her own, and she’s fed up with the men in her life telling her what to do. Inspired by a head full of progressive ideas, she plans to pursue her dream—whether Myles likes it or not.
Amid the political turmoil of early 1900’s Texas, secrets from Myles’ past force Isabel to choose whether to risk the loss of her inheritance or stand by the husband she is not convinced she can trust.
Can these two strong-willed people resolve their differences, or will their shaky marriage collapse under the pressure of family rivalry, betrayal, and public scandal?

Very good love story. Isabel is told to marry Myles by her brother who worries about her after he has died. In return Myles is given her brother’s ranch. There is a lot of misunderstanding between the two of them until the end of the book. Well written and the characters are very realistic. Good story.

Great read, my first by this author.
I loved Isabel and how feisty but kind and sweet she was.
Myles was an acquired taste, lol and I was mad at him throughout most of the book.
But I loved him in the end and Gwyn was so sweet!
Look forward to more books by this author.

I really enjoyed reading this story! Loved the story development and characters as the book moves along. Myles and Isobel both carry hurts from their past and it is reflected in some of the decisions they make. Under the right circumstances, what we perceive as our weakness can actually be strengths. This is a story of second chances and redemption. I recommend it.

Heroine is an arrested adolescent. Self-centered, wallowing in self-pity and for an educated, 27 year old woman, unbelievably lacking in common sense and generally stupid.

Everybody in this book is deceitful. Really lousy plot to be a romance- figuring out back handed you are finally in love after enduring all kinds of scandal just did not play well. Will not follow this author
