Additional High Country Bride (The McKettrick Series #1) Information

One ranch. Three sons. Only one will inherit...and on one condition.

Tired of waiting for his sons to settle down, Arizona-territory rancher Angus McKettrick announces a competition: the first son to marry and produce a grandchild will inherit Triple M ranch. Now, three distinctly different, equally determined cowboys are searching high and low for brides.

If Emmeline Harding knows one thing, it's that she can't hold her liquor. And though she's not sure how she came to wake up next to a stack of gold coins in a brothel, she fears the worst. Fleeing town as a mail-order bride, she wonders: how will she ever confess her past to her handsome new husband?

Freedom-loving Rafe McKettrick is a man of strong beliefs and stronger passions and he'll do anything to win the Triple M -- even marry a stranger. To his surprise, Emmeline's charms beguile him even as the secrets he senses she's hiding ignite jealousy and suspicion. But when a visitor from the past enters the high country, the newlyweds have no choice but to give up on a marriage in name only and seek a union that satisfies them body and soul.

Emmeline afraid that she has gone the way of her Aunt becomes a mail order bride. You experience all of your emotions with this tale of Rafe and Emmeline.

I just love linda lael miller's stories. I finish these books in a couple days.

I have read all the McKettrick series and enjoyed them all, have even read some of them twice.Would love to see more of the McKettrick's. Rafe is determined to win the competition and inherit the Triple M ranch. A wonderful start to Linda Miller's McKettrick series. Loved the Mail-order bride storyline. You'll laugh and at times want to hit Rafe over the head.

It has been awhile since I've read this series, but I definitely remember that the whole series was excellent and a great time with a very interesting family. This is the first of a series by LLM, starting in the Old West and the final book is in modern day. I would recommend the whole series to everyone.

I enjoyed the McKettrick books, but believe I prefer Maggie Osborne's western romances for the more complicated stories. Predictable, but humorous and entertaining. A fun read, your basic characters, one-dimensional. Situations as you encounter in most romances. The first half was better than the second.
