Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Jodi Thomas takes readers to the Old West, where an emotionally wounded man and woman discover the true nature of love and marriage in the first romance in the Wife Lottery series.
Thrown off a wagon train with two other women and trying to avoid jail for a murder they committed, Bailee Moore agrees to enter a “Wife Lottery”—a ploy concocted by the Cedar Point sheriff to secure wives for the men in the small Texas town.
For the sensible Bailee, however, marrying Carter McKoy is like exchanging one life sentence for another—especially since her new husband hasn’t even seen fit to utter a single word in her presence. But still, she can’t help thinking that something about this strong, silent farmer could be the key to leaving her troubled past behind...and making a worthy wager with her heart.
Customer Reviews
Truly enjoyable
This is a truly enjoyable read! It has action, some gushy romance, moments of witty dialogue and a surprising amount of depth. The relationship between Carter and Bailee is sweet- I like that she really gets him, even when he doesn’t say anything.
This book also has a few deaf supporting characters and I felt that the struggles they face in being accepted was insightfully handled with compassion.
Overall a 5/5. A great western historical romance read. It had little to no spice. It didn’t give me chest tingles, but it was still very enjoyable!
