I've been wanting to read Short-Straw Bride for a while, but when I had it out from the library in the past, I just didn't have time to read it. Then when I was searching for a book to meet one of my reading challenges, this was one of the books suggested. I'm so glad I finally got to read it. What a wonderful marriage of convenience story. Quite unique actually, seeing as the bride, Meredith, has actually been infatuated by the groom, Travis, since he rescued her when she was a girl. However, neither of them were prepared for the neccessity of a marriage after Meredith again trespassed on Archer land to warn them of danger to their ranch.
I loved the relationship that developed between Meredith and Travis, even though they each didn't realize how the other truly felt, or how they themselves felt about their spouse. I also loved getting to know each of Travis's brothers and see their interactions with each other. There were some other wonderful side characters that I grew to love, and some horrid characters that I couldn't stand. All of these characters together made for a wonderful story.
There was suspense in not knowing when or where danger might come from next. The author added some great twists. And faith played an important part in this story. The importance of trusting in God and turning to Him was found throughout the story.
A wonderful story and one I highly recommend.
