review 1: I found this at the Logan Library. The picture on the front evokes a modern-day story. It's not (1870). It was entertaining but not at all believable. How could the juvenile behavior of Sarah Livingston possibly change so quickly? She wants to be married SO badly but she doesn't act mature in the least: kicking and screaming, pouting and whining, running away... Yes, she makes some bad decisions, but they're more forgivable and easier to resolve than the book would have us believe. There were some interesting character traits and abilities of some of the cast that left me thinking, "Oh, really? And how is that possible?" or "Where did that come from?"I was interested in reading this because it was a Christian Historical Romance. To me that means, 1. no swearing or taking t... morehe Lord's name in vain, 2. no gratuitous love scenes, and 3. an entertaining romance in a time and place far distant from me. It was entertaining enough to give it three stars, and fun while it lasted, but I wouldn't buy it or read it again. Sorry, I revised this to two stars. I couldn't give it the same stars as Red Scarf Girl.
review 2: Walker's Wedding is a refreshing and adorable romance with plenty of humor. The story begins with Sarah who, at the age of 25, is considered an old maid. Every man that comes courting... her wealthy father doesn't approve of or they are fortune hunters. At this rate she'll never find a husband. Sarah wants to marry and have children. She is also desperate to get away from her controlling father and have a life of her own. She wants to love and be loved and would do anything... even be a mail-order bride. Without her father's knowledge, she heads for Wyoming on the train to meet her husband-to-be.Walker McKay isn't sure what to expect when he meets the beautiful red headed Sarah Livingston. He had been abandoned at the altar once before and was humiliated. Not wanting to be jilted a second time and disgraced, Walker McKay plans a barbeque, just in case his new fiancée might skip out. This way, if she doesn't show up, then no one knows he's been jilted again. Sarah is surprised when she walks down the steps in her wedding gown and finds the room full of guests having a barbeque. When she turns to Walker with a puzzled look, he just smiles. He did not forget to invite the preacher who doesn't even know he is about to perform a wedding. "Got your bible with you?" Walker asks the preacher. Who ever heard of a Barbeque Wedding?Most romances are about a couple who meets, he courts her, and they fall in love... but this story takes a different direction all together. It's about a couple who marries, he courts her, and then they fall in love. The humor is delightful throughout the book, with one twist after another. When Walker finds out that she isn't who she says she is, he flies off the handle and isn't sure what to do. Author Lori Copeland has written an adorable novel about romance after the wedding. I highly recommend this book. It's fun!Review written by Linda Weaver Clarke, author of Melinda and the Wild West, a Semi-finalist for the "Reviewers Choice Award." less
