Cora Lee’s life ended as she knew it, her aunt passed away and left her penniless. She takes control of her life and decides to be a mail order bride. She gets on the train headed for Holiday, Oregon. A newly settled town, where her soon to be husband runs a ranch. Disappointed to be met by her future father-in-law and not her intended, Cora puts a smile on and keeps her hopes up. Will she ever meet her intended? Will she fall for Jace, the brother, and can they find their happy ever after? I don’t always appreciate historical stories, but as this one is based in my native state, Oregon, I grabbed it up. I enjoyed the emotions and hardships of life in the 1800’s. Sometimes I forget that no matter how “hard” I think life is, I was born in a time that everything comes easy to me, compared to so many years ago. I am putting this author on my TBR list.
This is the 2nd book in this great paranormal, vampire romance series. Technically each book can be read as a stand-alone but it will make for much better reading and more enjoyment if the series is read I order as there is a background story running along in the background of the romance storyline. We were introduced to Master Christian Tuscano and Delilah in the first book in the series and this book starts at the exact point where book one finishes. This time Tuscano and Delilah are the main characters but we do still have the characters from book one playing a large role in this book. I really enjoyed reading Tuscano and Delilah’s story. I was intrigued by both of them in book one and was glad that they got to tell their own story. I love that the book is written in dual POV so we get to see what’s going through the head of both main characters. I’m really gripped by the ongoing storyline of the vampires and their struggles with others that is running through this series. The author has done a great job of creating a great storyline with many twists and turns that keep you entertained and not wanting to put the book down. Book 3 is already waiting on my kindle for me to dive into and I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

Holiday Hope: Sweet Historical Holiday Romance is the first book in the Holiday Express book series. I enjoyed this historical romance and am glad I have found an author I had not read before. In the late 19th century Cora Lee has traveled to Holiday Oregan to be a mail-order bride. But, when the prospective groom is a no-show, will her heart find love elsewhere? I really liked the characters of Cora Lee and Jace. I enjoy historical fiction and this takes place during my favorite time period. I do not know much about the railroads but found the character of Jace and his job as a train engineer interesting. I look forward to reading more in this series and from this author in the future.
This was really, truly a great way to start a new series. This author gave us so much in just one installment I can’t wait to see what she gives us in the next book. This story was full of drama, train robberies, love, danger, and kidnapping, and I just simply could not put it down. This author did such a beautiful job with this time period, set in the 1800s, this author clearly did her research and paid very close attention to detail. While this is not usually my kind of genre, this author really hooked me from the very beginning with her wonderful characters and attention to detail, I personally can’t wait to see what she gives us next.
Cora Lee Schuster is a young woman who has been left all alone after her parents died and with few prospects for work or her future where she is currently living, she decides to apply for the advertised position of a mail order bride. Jace Coleman is a young man who lives on his fathers ranch with his father and aunt, by day he is an engineer on the Holiday Express line where he works on the newest train, Hope and during his free time he helps out on the ranch and around the house as needed, he has always had a love of trains from childhood and has his dream job with the best hours he can get.
Cora Lee’s decision is quickly made and after corresponding with her betrothed, she packs up her things and takes the train to her future home of Holiday, Oregon, as she is travelling she ends up sitting in the same bunk as another young woman heading to the same place for the same reason and so the journey passes quickly as the two young women become fast friends. The journey isn’t completely without hitches, however, when Cora Lee arrives in Holiday, she expects to be meeting her future husband, but instead it is her future father in law complete with excuses that she will meet him as soon as he is back home.
Cora Lee says goodbye to her friend after having dinner at the local hotel and restaurant and goes with her future father in law to see where she will be living, when there, she meets his sister and decides to retire to her room until she has had chance to freshen up and rest before dinner. Later on, she hears voices and goes to investigate and hopefully introduce herself to her future husband, however, it is not to be and instead she is introduced to his brother Jace, she is as surprised to see him as he is to see her, but they are polite and courteous towards each other as the family have dinner and get to know each other. Later that evening after the ladies have retired, Jace asks his father why there is a mail order bride and what he thinks that his brother will get out of it, but his father has hopes that it will settle him down, even if Jace isn’t as hopeful.
As the weeks pass and Cora Lee becomes a fixture of the household, it is clear that her intended isn’t coming back to the house while she is there, but yet she doesn’t want to leave, meanwhile, Jace is fighting his attraction to Cora Lee and is finding it harder to stay away from her. Will Jace and Cora Lee allow themselves to listen to their hearts, or will they fight against what is right to maintain what is proper? This is a heart warming and sweet romance which gently draws you into the ranch and the lives of those who dwell within it, as you discover the meaning of a Christmas romance in the west.
This story was different than the usual holiday romances I read due to it being a period piece. I really liked the characters in this story and the slow burning romance as well. Being set in 1884, it was interesting the idea of a mail order bride and the way of life during this time. I also appreciated her formed friendship with Ann. This book definitely had some charm and I’m glad I picked it up to read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming historical Christmas romance and was hooked from start to finish. This was a wonderfully written western romance which was full of the Christmas spirit, full of hope, humour, warmth and of course love. Following the death of her parents Cora Lee Schuster signs up to become a mail-order bride and has to travel across the country to the newly established town of Holiday, in Oregon. However, when she arrives she is met by her future father-in-law rather than her betrothed, and it soon becomes clear that he has no intention of marrying her. Cora is taken to the family ranch where she meets Jace Coleman, her betrothed’s brother. Jace loves trains and works as an engineer driving the Holiday Express line’s new engine, named Hope. When Cora arrives at his family’s ranch to marry his brother, Jace is suspicious and wonders if his father is matchmaking. As Cora and Jace spend time together, Jace finds it increasingly difficult not to fall for his brothers fiancé. Whilst Cora wishes she was Jace’s mail-order bride and not his brothers. This was an enjoyable and engaging read and I found myself happily turning the pages, completely immersed in the town of Holiday and it’s residents. The author really made both the era and the setting come alive through her descriptive narrative and all the small historical details. I fell in love with the likeable and relatable characters and was just hoping that Cora and Jace would get their HEA. This is the first in a series of holiday romances and I look forward to reading the rest of the series this festive season.

What a lovely way to spend a cool winter’s night by reading such a sweet little historical romance. I really got swept up into this book and could not put it down. I just love historical romances and this book really hit the spot.
The characters are very lovely and written so well. I like how the author is able to balance a bit of drama with the romance and create a lovely world. I love how it is set in the old west. The setting really adds to the story as well. This book is such a nice little romance and the characters have such a personable quality. I like how it has such a romantic ending and I really look forward to reading more from this author in the future. Reviewed by @caraleeloonat
I usually shy away from this genre but I’m so glad I took a chance with this book! Not only is a sweet romance, but the historical part isn’t too much. It’s written in a way that I can understand and identity with even though it’s set in the 1880’s. I knew from the first few chapters that Jace & Cora Lee would be a good couple. I was so glad the way things turned out for Jude, lol. This author is an excellent writer that writes in a way that makes the time period seem just as exciting as today.

This is a good historical fiction story. Its been a while since I have read this genre and I am always interested in mail-order brides plus this has some interesting train facts in it. . What a risk those women took…I felt sorry for Cora Lee when she arrived then later changed my opinion and feel she got the better end of the deal. I enjoyed the characters and their activities.
Overall its a good story, nice characters with a lot of little details.

If you are a fan of detective and romantic suspsense books then this one is for you. Throw a little pull at the heart strings and have some emotional, tear induced moments and you are all set. Fast paced read that you don’t want to put down. You start to fall in love with the main character a few chapters in, at first she comes off as smug and hard nosed but once you start to really get to know her story, your mind will be changed. Highly recommend this great read!

It has been a long time since I have read a book in this genre, a western set romance, but thanks to this wonderful author, I can tell you it wont be so long before I read another this time around. This new series has me captivated. In this first book we are brought the story of Cora Lee Schuster, a young woman in search of better life and mail order bride and Jace Coleman, a young man with a deep love of trains and being a train engineer. While Cora is intended for another true feelings develop between the two and with some shall we say adventure along the way Love will be found. This will truly warm your heart.

This story reminded me a lot of the Donna VanLiere books I enjoy so much over the holiday season. It gives off such a feel-good happiness that you can’t help but love it. The characters are normal and relatable you can’t help fall in love with them. The perfect read for Christmas time when we all have a little extra hope and happiness laying around. It is a good reminder to appreciate what we have and be grateful. I hadn’t read any of the others in the series and the story was good on its own, I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Holiday Hope is such a wonderful story! Starting a new life with uncertainty, our heroine travels to the Western US coming to meet her husband. Only she has never met him! She is a mail-order bride! Through heart-warming days, a new love grows in spite of the difficulties surrounding the Coleman’s. Add a dash of adventure and this is a lovely romance!
This series just keeps getting better and better. Each time I start a new book I honestly rhino there is no way it can top the last and each time it does. I love the story to this book. It pulled me in completely and I just had to dins out what was happening. The characters just added to this even more. They were so engaging and fit the story perfectly. This is one or those series that you honestly can’t describe enough to do it justice. I would highly recommend reading it as it is such a fantastic collection of books.

Oh oh Master Trentino – I think you may be my favourite! This author is for sure becoming one of my favourites! She definitely knows how to write dark paranormal and has certainly captured my interest in a genre that I’ve not really read much of previously! Trentino has to act fast when he finds Angel and I really liked reading about her as she recovered from her transformation. There was so much passion and chemistry between them but he knew he couldn’t act as he wanted. I loved the new friendships that were formed in this story also. The story is fairly fast paced and with some fantastic and unexpected twists and turns I couldn’t turn the page fast enough! Another wonderful book in this series and one that I 100% recommend!

Oh my what a wonderful read. I absolutely loved this book and have definitely found a new author to love! I was completely swept up in the story from beginning to end. There was so much going on and some of it quite unexpected which made the book even more exciting to read, it definitely felt like I was watching a movie at times with the authors wonderful attention to detail. I loved the characters Cora and Jace! Things were definitely unexpected with them considering Cora was meant to be marrying Jace’s brother but I adored them both! I loved the time period for the story too. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book in this series and I would highly recommend this book to other readers.
What a lovely, sweet book! This is a historical fiction set in 1884. Cora Lee Schuster has lost her parents and is left alone with no money or real way to care for herself. She decides to become a mail order bride. She travels to Holiday, Oregon to marry Jude Coleman. Upon her arrival, his father, Grant, picks her up and takes her to their ranch.

Will Cora Lee and Jace untangle the mess around his brother and find a way to be able to marry? Find out in this book! It is charming and well worth the time!

Holiday Hope by Shanna Hatfield is a sweet holiday romance. This first book of the Holiday Express series, this book leaves you ready to devour the entire series. The book reminds me of a feel-good Hallmark movie that draws you in right from the start. The characters are loveable and well written. I could not stop smiling at how adorable they were and you start to care deeply for them. You root for their happiness and are sad when the book ends. I could read a whole series just surrounding the main two characters. I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series.

This is a short and sweet Christmas romance. Although this book is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. I’ve read several books by this author and enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed her others. It’s a classic tale and a bit steamy, but the characters also have some emotional development and backstory, although I thought the characters could have had a bit more depth. Still, this is a warm story, perfect for the season.

This is book 5 in the Interstellar Rescue Series. I have loved the stories in this series and this one was just as good as the previous ones. I’m not a big sci-fi reader however this author and this series had definately made me fall in love with sci-fi. These stories are so enjoyable. You are gripped from the beginning. The stories are fast paced which means you are captured from the first page. I love that both characters in this story are very strong determined people but with pasts that allow them to be vulnerable and human.
As well as the sci-first aspect there is also a romance. This romance is strong. When Trevyn meets Lael on a ship he is sent to stop as it carries weapons for slave traders he is surprised to see her at the helm. However things aren’t what they seem. Lael is the leader of Uprising against the people who killed her father. Because of a crime she was supposed to have committed she is sentenced to death. But Trevyn doesn’t understand why. Trevyn decides he needs to find the truth which leads him back to his home, a place he never wanted to return. Between them can they solve the mystery and save Lael? What they find out will shock them both as their pasts are closer than they even realise.
This story is full of questions, conspiracy and danger. Both of our main characters have their hearts broken by the past, so can they heal each others pain or will the past come back to hurt them both in ways they don’t realise?

Frelick – Review by Kerry Carr
This book is completely different from what I normally read. Yes there is romance which is right up my alley but it seemed more of a mystery to me. The suspense is there but the focus seems to be on finding the person who did these acts. It is also about self discovery after loss. The characters in this book are great and have an amazing character development throughout the book. The story line is amazing and it will keep you turning the pages in order to figure out who did what and if they will actually be able to catch the person who did these things. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because even though there is a love story in the book it seems to be more about the mystery/thrill of the story, I highly recommend reading this is suspense/mystery/thrill with a side of romance is your thing.

This book was the best one out of the trilogy. This author has an amazing way of sucking you into the story and I love and hate characters. I am part of this world. The vampires, the underworld, the magic. There are always issues within the covens and the reign. This was amazing I cannot really explain without spoilers. I would recommend to read book one and two. Such a creative writer, I didn’t realize how much I needed this book.

Not my favorite, I did enjoy it but it is a new story, same universe. So now we have Christian and I did not like the character. The story continues from another characters time line in the series. We keep the story alive and it is an adventure and experience of the dark and experience. I have always imagined being a vampire. If you had no other choice but to turn….. I give this author great credit to focus on new characters within the same series. Book two is a great bridge to book three. Looking forward to more.

I absolutely love this series! Master Trentino did not disappoint. I’m a sucker for a romance novel, but I am not and have always been obsessed with vampires. I enjoy other supernatural beings but I hold Vampires up on a pedestal and I don’t care who knows it! Continuing on their quest to find out who Lazareth is answering too, who has been betraying the Vampire community, while putting the mates of the other masters and overmaster in danger. Trentino comes across Angel in his travels. Unfortunately for Angel her brothers, though over protective, have sealed her fate the minute they tried to hide Lazareth in her basement. Trentino is drawn to her and shows up at the right time to turn her into a member of the Vampire community. Angel, now a vampire mourning the loss of two of her brothers, struggles with her new reality. She grew up believing vampires were bad & scum, now she doesn’t know how to feel. All the while her oldest brother has been taken hostage for ransom somewhere. Keeping her on edge. If you like a good romance and are like me and love vampires, trust me you will get everything you need and then some from this book and series. Come check it out!

With it being the holiday season, what better read than a Christmas read about a town in Oregon named Holiday?
You meet Cora Lee riding a train west to meet the man who ordered her as a bride. Once she gets to Holiday, it becomes very apparent to her that something isn’t right. She soon discovers that her intended didn’t really send for her, but his dad did! Thinking he was doing his son a favor, he picked her out and wrote to her for his son! However, he has TWO sons, not just the one he had planned on Cora Lee marrying. While they await the arrival of the errant son, Cora Lee falls in love with his twin and vice versa! Will she declare her love before the intended brother comes to claim her? Will he? Or will she break her own heart and leave?
This was a sweet, western story. I felt like I got little snippets of interesting history while reading, too! The author did a wonderful job of showing how family can be disappointing but also can be chosen. I enjoyed reading about Cora Lee and how she found her place and learned to stand up for herself. Perfect afternoon read!
