About this ebook

Lighthearted Historical Romance From a Rising Star

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?

Ratings and reviews

I loved loved loved this book. I've read it like 10 times. Its so cute how travis and meri love each other. It worked out very well. The only part i did not like was the ending. Merideth seemed way to desperte to sneak out of the house to get involved with the bad guy getting to her cousin. You'd think she'd be smart enough to stay away. But then travis rescues her and it worked out.

Karen Witmeyer is an excellent author who writes books that entices the reader to want to read more. This was my favorite out of the Archer brother series. It didn't take me long to finish the book. I recieved the Brides Of Texas book from a freind wherein was Short-Straw bride . I highly recomend this book to anyone who likes an adventure.

Great book only took me about 2 days to read it I couldn't put it down I love everything about it.
