I read Short-Straw Bride by Karen Witemeyer in less than 24 hours. I couldn't put it down it was so good! It is about four orphaned brothers who have secluded themselves from the world in order to stay together. Travis, the oldest, swore to his dying father that he would protect his family and their land. None of them have been off the land for years and they keep everyone else off of it. Until Meredith shows up to warn them of a plot to get them off their land. Then their world will never be the same.

No one steps on Archer land. Not if they value their life. But when Meredith Hayes overhears a lethal plot to burn the Archer brothers off their ranch, a twelve-year-old debt compels her to take the risk. Fourteen years of constant vigilance hardens a man. Yet when Travis Archer confronts a female trespasser with the same vivid blue eyes as the courageous young girl he once aided, he can't bring himself to send her away. And when an act of sacrifice leaves her injured and her reputation in shreds, gratitude and guilt send him riding to her rescue once again. Four brothers. Four straws. One bride. Despite the fact that Travis is no longer the gallant youth Meredith once dreamed about, she determines to stand by his side against the enemy that threatens them both. But will love ever be hers? Or will Travis always see her merely as a short-straw bride?
Despite the usual predictability of romance stories, I still love them. This one however was not nearly as predictable. I thought the story line was really creative and well written. I also loved the side characters. I couldn't wait to see what would happen next and often found myself laughing out loud. I highly recommend Short-Straw Bride and can't wait to read more from Karen Witemeyer.
I received this book for free for review from Bethany House Publishers.
