Plot and Story Line 
Twice A Texas Bride is a wonderful new installment in this series by Linda Broday. This author has become a new favorite for historical westerns…she definitely knows how to weave a beautiful love story together. I love the way she wraps it around you like a warm blanket. This is Rand’s story. There were so many good qualities to this story that made it a winner in my book. The first was the plot, exciting and full of mystery and had a certain balance of danger and passion. We see a tender love build between the characters. Its soft and sweet and so poignant you want to cry. Next are the characters. The characters are charming and win your heart. They are down to earth, they are both strong and passionate, and willing to die for their family. I love how they come together and decide to face whatever come together. Then some of the side characters are just a wonderful touch…we have the brothers of Rand…which was so great to see them again. And Brett’s story is next–the indian….(eeek….I am so EXCITED!!) Then we have Toby, what a charmer he is. His character is willful and playful and can still play despite what haunts him or what his father made him do. A boy in need of love and a safe home. This story comes down to one word: Courage….having the courage to face the danger and fight together to live in peace, safety and love.

The Cover 
What a beautiful cover don’t y’all think? I mean I can hardly stand it…I wish I had this in paperback so I could look at it more!! I love the pose of the couple, with her beautiful blue dress, and the prairie background and the sun setting….soft colors and has a sweet tone to it that matches the tone of the story.

Overall View 
Twice A Texas Bride is a spellbinding romance that will win your heart. A western romance with dangerous outlaws, a few secrets, a story of love and sacrifice and the ability to have the courage to face whats haunting you….HEART WARMING!!
