Search - The Bridegroom (Stone Creek, Bk 4)

This is book no. 4 in the Stone Creek novel and it's mainly about "Gideon Yarbro". It takes place in the early 1900's. And, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not only do we get a glimpse of the characters from the previous novels (i.e. Gideon's brothers Rowdy and Wyatt and their wives and children) but we also see Lydia come back as a young woman, and under rather strange circumstances become Gideon's bride. The passion between the two of them was electrifying. And, I was grateful to see that Linda Lael Miller gave Lydia a backbone and wasn't a weak, wishy-washy mess like some of her female leading ladies.

There was alot of action in this book, too. I give it 4 stars!

Good book. Worth reading.

So good I had to read it again. Great ending to the Yarbro brothers series.

Of all Linda's books, I think this one shows her true talent the best. I fell in love with Gideon. He grew from a shy but brave teenage boy in the first Stone Creek books, into a sexy, loving, noble man. Total steamy romance in this book. I loved the dialogue so much, and I thought Lily's aunts were so funny. Linda captured each character's emotions brilliantly. You could feel the passion being stoked between the two. This is a definite must-read!
