Tempting Prudence


Tempting Prudence (The Bride Train, Book #3)
by E.E. Burke

My Review
Another wonderful read by Ms. Burke this is one author that knows how to pull her readers in giving you a story that makes you smile with a touch of everything a good romance write can give. Finding a bride isn’t always easy when it is 10 to 1 odds it is even hard when you are so busy making a living trying to keep your family alive that you do not even have time to check out the newest brides to be that came on the train. What does one do when ones brother can’t find the time well they just go pick one for him. They knock on the door have a lovely chat and ask for her help. When she comes out they grab her and haul their butts right out of town with her in the back scared out of her mind.  When the horse stop they drag big brother over to have a looks see. They do not understand why he is so mad and the fight is on with little brothers running for their lives leaving their brother and his new bride fighting it out.

Prudence feels she is old and might not find a husband she doesn’t hang out with all the women running here and there. She spends her time in the kitchen doing what she loves to do which is cooking that is until some young men come knocking at her door pulling the wool over her eyes. She is fit to be tied when they uncover her to the biggest man she has ever seen.  He said let’s get married she said NO WAY and make a run for it. From this moment on life is not easy for the other as one tries to make the most of it and the other tries to get home. There is one thing after another that stands in their way but fate has a way of bring things to a head and changing our lives forever.

Arch really wants a wife and a family having little Archers running around is his dream but with little time on his hands running the family business he is all alone that is until his retard stupid brothers bring him a gift of one plain Jane who is fit to be tied ready to bite nails into. He wants a wife, she looking for a husband it all works out for the best they will just get married. All seem pretty clear now why is she mad?

This was a very humorous read that had me laughing at the things Prudence came up with. I laughed so hard at the Indians. I even laughed harder at the things she did to poor Arch that man really had me cheering for him. His whole family is something else as they weave their way into your heart.  I just love this series it is well written with very likable characters that take you away to another time and place making you wish you could live with them. I loved Arch’s patient as he tried to make her understand herself and what they could have. His willing to give up everything to make a wrong a right. Ms. Burke does her research giving you true facts about towns and people why adding her own touch to bring the story alive. The name fits the story so well it was a pleasure watching Arch Tempt Prudence making her see her true self and not what her family thought she should be. This is a wonderful addition to this series. I can’t wait to read the next installment.
