Short Straw Bride
by Karen Witemeyer is another skillfully written book. Karen's books are fun, lighthearted
stories but provide a serious and enjoyable read.
Meredith Hayes has long had an oversize crush on Travis
Archer; created only in her mind and dreams.
The Archer brothers never venture off their land nor do they
tolerate others venturing onto their land but when Meredith overhears a plot to
drive the Archers out, she knows she must act. She sets out to invade their
land and tell them of the plot.
Her act of kindness leads to destroying her reputation, discord
between herself and her family and a near kidnapping by her ruthless ex-fiancée.
Travis feels bound to protect her; after all she helped to
save his family and their land. He devises a scheme to draw straws to see which
of the brothers must marry Meredith. Unbeknownst to all, including Meredith, he
devises a way to insure he gets the short straw.
Meredith is torn between her longstanding "love"
for Travis and the feeling that he got the short end of the deal when he
married her. She goes into the marriage with all her heart and prays Travis
will come to see and appreciate her for who she truly is.
There is lots of excitement and intrigue throughout the book
you will want to give yourself plenty of time to read!
