Customer Reviews

Loved reading of Buttonwood Nebraska series but please don’t leave us here. Want more books to continue with Midge &Amos and the hint we got with Daisy and the Lindners great reading but don’t want it to stop

It's in my Library

This series by Kelly Eileen Hake is going into my library to be enjoyed again and again very much like the Classics. I much prefer the message that each story carries and the happy ending each book brings. Moby Dick,Silas Marner and David Copperfield never brought such joyous entertainment into my home. I get to Praise God and Worship as I enjoy the adventure I'm reading.

A Fun Read!

This was a fun read with just the right mix of drama and humor. From the synopsis I knew exactly what I was getting into and enjoyed the ride. What did surprise me was how young an author Hake is. She's got real talent and I'll be interested to see where her career takes her!

Definitely NOT a Blunder!

The Bride Blunder brings in some new characters, namely Marguerite Chandler and Gavin Miller as well as some of my old favorites including Midge Collins, the precocious teen from The Bride Backfire all grown up. However my very favorite character in this book was Grandma Ermintrude! If you've ever seen Granny from from the 60s tv show The Beverly Hillbillies that's Grandma Ermintrude! That woman speaks her mind...no beating around the bush with her. She certainly livens up the book. There are really 3 stories in this book pertaining to the relationships between Gavin and Marge, and Amos and Midge and also Marge's cousin, Daisy. Gavin and Marge have to deal with a mix up with their "engagement" and have to find a solution that works for them with a little help from Grandma. Midge has finally met her match in the form of big, burly, but gentle Amos who she avoids at every turn afraid he might discover her tragic past. Then there is Daisy, the beautiful smiling cousin of Marge's who escapes to Buttonwood with secrets of her own. I was a little disappointed that Daisy's story didn't play out but I'm hoping it does in a future book. I want her to find the happiness that she deserves. All in all this was a really good story and nice ending to the series. I still liked The Bride Backfire the best but The Bride Blunder is a relatively quick read I recommend to readers of prairie romances. The spiritual message in the book is very strong so if you don't normally read Christian fiction you might not want to start with this one.
