About this ebook

Westward Wedding Journey

Delsie Radford is going to make it to California, no matter the danger or difficulty. Her father may have kept her and her sister apart, but Delsie refuses to miss her sister's wedding—even with only eighteen days to get there. And she's found the perfect escort in Pony Express rider Myles Patton.

Myles can't believe it when a pretty socialite hires him to take her cross-country through rough terrain and dangerous territory. Surely she'll quit before they reach their destination—he's known girls like her before. But the longer they ride together, the more Myles notices Delsie's toughness and kindness beneath her polished exterior. And though they may be worlds apart…they might just be perfect for each other.

Ratings and reviews

Delsie Radford is determined to make it for her sister’s wedding in California, but she has to make it quickly. She decides her best option is to ride along with a Pony Express rider. Delsie is not too keen, but what must be done, must be done. The man for the job is Myles Patton; if he didn’t need the money to buy a ranch, he would not go along with the wealthy Delsie’s scheme. But then again, he knows she won’t last a day on the road. Myles doesn’t trust rich girls, he couldn’t marry the woman he loved because he wasn’t rich enough, according to her father. But Delsie is different. I had heard of the Pony Express, but didn’t know much about it, and who best to enlighten me than Stacy Henrie, along with a lovely romance! Ms. Henrie treats historical facts very seriously, and what insignificant liberties she took, she mentions them at the end of the book; it’s like experiencing history first-hand. I just loved visiting the American West along with Delsie and Myles, along with all the perils they experienced. Both Delsie and Myles are well-rounded characters, and I just loved Delsie to bits; there are also other terrific secondary characters. And the romance is lovely, and so realistic. I have loved Ms. Henrie’s easy and elegant writing, her wonderful storytelling from the first book I read from her, and THE EXPRESS RIDER’S LADY confirms yet again that Stacy Henrie can do no wrong! I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
