I'll be honest - I didn't have high hopes for this one going in, but I think that's why I fell so head over heels in love with HIS COUNTRY BRIDE. From start to finish, this is a sweet, upbeat romance that you can sink into with a cup of tea and just thoroughly enjoy.
Ellie cracked me up on a regular basis. Lucas made me swoon on a regular basis. Those two things alone are enough for me to love a book, but combining them into one steamy couple that constantly challenged and complemented the other sealed the deal for me.
By the end, I was anything buy ready for the end. I hated saying goodbye to these two characters I had fallen for. Debra Holt also provides an assortment of fun side characters that gave additional depth to the story. I'm expecting (hoping?) they'll be featured in other books down the line.
If you want a fun, light read this Spring, look no further than HIS COUNTRY BRIDE.
ABOUT HIS COUNTRY BRIDE:
"Sheriff's Department! Raise your hands above your head and don't move."
She’s a runaway bride who left her two-timing fiance at the altar. He’s a county sheriff determined to keep the peace in his country and leave city girls alone after his own fiance left him for the bright lights of the city. Neither of them planned on running straight into each other...over a burning wedding dress.
Ellie and Lucas planned on never trusting their hearts to love again. When danger follows her from the city, the sheriff must do his duty to protect her. However, it isn’t long before he discovers the real danger may be to his heart. Ellie just might teach him that even a city girl can be a country girl at heart.

ABOUT DEBRA HOLT:
Born and raised in the Lone Star state of Texas, Debra grew up among horses, cowboys, wide open spaces, and real Texas Rangers. Pride in her state and ancestry knows no bounds and it is these heroes and heroines she loves to write about the most. She also draws upon a variety of life experiences including working with abused children, caring for baby animals at a major zoo, and planning high-end weddings (ah, romance!).
Debra's real pride and joys, however, are her son, an aspiring film actor, and a daughter with aspirations to join the Federal Bureau of Investigation. (more story ideas!) When she isn't busy writing about tall Texans and feisty heroines, she can be found cheering on her Texas Tech Red Raiders, or heading off on another cruise adventure. She read her first romance...Janet Dailey's Fiesta San Antonio, over thirty years ago and became hooked on the genre. Writing contemporary western romances, is both her passion and dream come true, and she hopes her books will bring smiles...and sighs... to all who believe in happily-ever-after's.
