Explanation Concering Books Short-Straw Bride (Archer Brothers #1)
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?Details Books In Favor Of Short-Straw Bride (Archer Brothers #1)

4.55 stars - mild pg13Great, fun story of romantic and family love. Bit of adventure. Trusting God. Wonderful secondary characters (loved Crockett and Moses). {Where do I find one of these ranches full of smokin' hot Godly men just waiting for the right woman??? Somebody please give me directions to this place. I need to go there!} Travis Archer was a strong, stubborn, protective alpha Hero, hiding a tender heart. Swoon. Our heroine, Meredith, was sweet, yet strong-willed (perhaps too much?).holy cow, I loved this book. definitely surprised me. honestly, I don't really know what I was expecting as I sat down to start this book, but I don't believe I was expecting to fall in love! already have another book by Whitemeyer on hold at the library. hehe.rarely ever do I start the first chapter of a book and immediately get sucked in. rarely, rarely, rarely. (my standards are pretty high for books, if you couldn't tell. hah.) but this book had me captured by the first few paragraphs. even

But when Meredith overhears her espoused suitor plotting to burn down the Archer barn, she eschews family loyalty. And sneaks onto

Some evil villains added depth and excitement to the book. The christian aspect was subtle and not overly preachy. A solid 3.5 stars.
This was my second time reading this book and I started it at about 9:45 PM intending to just read a little bit. After all, having read it before, I thought it would be easy to put back down. At 1:15 AM, I finally put my kindle down after reading the end of the book. Thankfully, the next day was Saturday. :)Update: I just read the book again! I started it in Wisconsin before the wedding and finished it in Montana on the honeymoon. :)
NO ONE STEPS ON ARCHER LAND!!!Ok, so, I don't know if it's just me being half-witted or what, but I *still* don't understand the whole Archers-are-not-allowed-off-their-land-and-no-one-is-allowed-on-it-either affair. I mean, I understand how Travis felt responsible for his brothers and did not want anybody trying to coax him into selling his land, but forbidding everyone to even step on his land? I mean, they probably had friends and neighbours, no? Anyway, I didn't bother me that much, and I
