Margaret and Jaimie’s story In the third book of the Clover Creek Caravan series, we really get to know Margaret and Jaimie. The story is a stand alone but is great reading in order. This is a great series. As always Kirsten uses humor, an intriguing storyline and her excellent storytelling to write a great book! I highly recommend any of Kirsten Osbourne’s books/ series. You won’t be disappointed.

I loved all three books in this series. I enjoyed reading them in order so it felt like I already knew of the brides in advance. What I didn’t know about each of the characters was what their individual personalities were when faced with extraordinary circumstances. Of course I loved the romance. I just want to know what will happen with Betty.

Boring I didn't care for the story in this book it was boring for me I couldn't wait to get through it I have bought all your books and this one I just couldn't get into it usually I just skip over it and not read it and go to the next book. I hope the next book Betty is a little better.

Margaret is a widow with 2 daughters. She makes extra money for cooking for the bachelors of the wagon train. Jamie is one of the men she feeds. When he offers to lighten her burden by marrying her, she wants to refuse because she still loves her first husband. When she does marry him, she feels like she is cheating on her first husband. Will they ever come to know true love as a couple?

The story continues I enjoy the storyline. I got hooked on the first book in this series and I need to know what happens next. This series is one you have to read in order, though I do that anyway. The next one these folks should hopefully get to Oregon. There were a few typos but I can get past those.

Margaret A tale of hardship and blessings on the trail to Oregon. Family struggles and days of desperation that are eased by friends and family and helping each other. A very well written depiction of emotions and fears and love.

A quick read Another beautiful love story from the Oregon trail. The days of early America held many twists and turns. The man and women that settled in the West were very strong
