The Colorado Brides #2
An Unexpected Bride
After reading about her sister Hannah's success in homesteading to Denver City, Paulina Hoffman decides to embark on the adventure of a lifetime, traveling with an older couple to the Kansas Territory. What she hadn't anticipated was wagon master, Samuel Tucker, who catches her eye from the start.
The handsome outdoorsman is responsible for this group of homesteaders, seeing to their safety and guiding them along the Platte River on the Oregon Trail. As the days turn into weeks, their relationship grows, especially after Paulina falls victim to cholera and Samuel nurses her back to health.
Falling in love with one of the homesteaders is the last thing Mr. Tucker had expected, but, as he rescues the beauty from disaster, more than once; he finds himself unable to resist the pull of Paulina. Living in Denver City was never the plan, but the dictates of his heart might just change his mind...and his life.
This is a sweet, chaste romance.
This is the second book in The Colorado Brides Series, chronicling the lives of the Hoffman sisters and their adventures in finding love out west.

Great story!
It comes as no surprise to say that I enjoyed the book. It's an easy read for a Saturday night. The cholera epidemic was a nice touch to the story as it allowed opportunity for Samuel to show his true feelings for Paulina. Baby Laura losing her parents added to the drama. It also reflects the culture of the time. You took in orphans and raised them as your own. No waiting period. No legal formalities. You just did the right thing quietly and moved on. I am already looking forward to the next book in the series!

I enjoyed this tale of a young woman traveling West to be close to her sister. I really liked the author's inclusion of the "cholera" episode while on the wagon train. I'd never heard of the treatment used and found it fascinating. I thought it very sweet and endearing that Paulina - an unmarried woman took on the responsibility of the baby when the parents died. Of course, she didn't remain unmarried long. She and Samuel made a very cute couple. An enjoyable and interesting read. Thank you.

Its an ok read but the characters were not as well developed as in the first book.I didn't care much what happened to them. I also thought the H/H very horny and their encounters too descriptive. I couldn't recommend it for young readers and I know I won't read it again. To each his own.

Book Two: Second sister takes to the trail headed to Denver City...and another book filled with danger, adventure, friendships, death, marriage, babies, and being reunited with family. Amazing what these pioneers to the Old West had to do to survive. Keep reading this series - it's worth it!

This was another quick, but enjoyable read. I liked the storyline and think it gives an accurate idea into what it was like enduring the hardships of life on a wagon train.

Very interesting book
I had read the first book. I then had interest in keeping up with the family. I read this book completely from beginning to end in one night.
