Willow (Promised Land Romance) Kindle Edition

by Carolyn Brown (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars (2,899)
Willow Gail Dulan didn't like Rafe Pierce when he read her father's will. She sure didn't like him when he tried to talk Hank Gibson out of letting her and her four newly-found sisters travel to California with the wagon train of mail-order brides.

Rafe was totally against the idea of Jake Dulan's daughters going with the train. He would like nothing better than to leave Willow for the rattlesnakes and Indians. The feeling is mutual.

They lock horns and refuse to budge. Both have a scarred heart from previous experiences, and a temper, so the fireworks explode every time they're in each other's presence, which is often since Rafe drew the short straw and has to bring up the rear of the train...right where the Dulan girls' wagon is located.

Willow and Rafe both realize that out there, beyond the sunsets they both love, lies the Promised Land. It's not a place or destination, but a spirit and a journey which draws them into the peace of its bosom to rock away the cares of life. But will they ever admit they need each other to reach that Promised Land?

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The first book in the new Promised Land series introduces the Dulan sisters. Willow arrives in St. Joseph, Missouri, after a long and tedious journey only to find herself attending a funeral service. Her father, Jake's, only legacy to the five Dulan girls is each other, and they decide to join a wagon train of mail-order brides heading west to California under the direction of Hank Gibson and Rafe Pierce. Hank anticipates trouble, but Rafe precipitates it by arrogantly dismissing the sisters as delicate, useless creatures who won't last a week on the trail. Almost immediately, Willow proves Rafe wrong by hauling him out of the river when his horse tosses him, stitching him up, and leading the wagons across the prairie to join the rest of the group while Rafe is unconscious. Full of good-humored banter and exciting moments engendered by the very real dangers of travel in pioneer days, Brown's gentle historical romance beguiles the reader into wanting more stories of these enterprising and determined Dulans.

Review

"The journey is lively, sometimes funny, and predictably romantic...The protagonists are irritatingly dense when it comes to dealing with their feelings for each other, but they spar beautifully, and readers will cheer when they finally come to their senses." -- Library Journal, November 15, 2003

"WILLOW is a fast-paced read with the perfect blend of romance and adventure." - Tracy Farnsworth -- Roundtable Reviews

    Willow hasn’t had the usual upbringing. She knows how to do all the chores that a man does and she is good at them. She might look like a blonde angel but she is a spitfire, speaking her mind without any problem. Rafe had a horrible experience with a blonde woman and he can’t trust any woman. But, he and Willow can’t say one word to the other without a fight. Sparks definitely are flying. You will LOL at some of the things said and done, as well as shed a few tears. Totally awesome story and series.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2019

    Willow was definitely a firecracker; talented and opinionated. Meeting 4 sisters that she had no idea of and arriving to her Father's funeral, having never met him. Deciding to head to California with her sister's with a bride wagon train was an exceptional adventure. Meeting Rafe was a game changer in so many ways. Willow is very out spoken and her and Rafe have fireworks whenever they are close. Both battling past lives but are drawn to each other. Your storytelling and characters give a lively descriptions of wagon train life. Little Merry added so much joy; laughter and danger with the bandits that killed her family's small wagon train. Willow and Rafe made an amazing couple once they intertwined their hearts. Really enjoyed this story, as always!!!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Just okay...
    Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2013
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    For me, WILLOW was an average, "just okay" Western story. The writing isn't bad. I was happy not to see the painful grammar and spelling errors and misused words so common to e-books. I thought the author managed to make the five sisters distinct and individual characters, even varying their speech patterns.

    What made this only three stars for me? I think it's that so much of the time Rafe, the hero, was being rude and unlikeable. And Willow several times was just plain irresponsible and stupid (rushing off to warn the other wagon train without help -- really?!) And there were times when things would happen and I would expect more of a real emotional reaction ... and the story was just sort of flat. For example, if I got a letter with a ticket and just enough money to get out West to my estranged father and I had burned my bridges behind me to meet him (and all five sisters cut their ties with and/or were repudiated by their familes and/or homes for choosing to head West), I would expect to have more of a reaction when I got there and found my father is dead and he's left all the daughters penniless and stranded. But no, after rudeness all around (Willow is "spunky"), the sisters argue their way into the Bride Train (the "business" their father and his partner ran) and next thing you know, they're on the trail. That was another thing that felt flat to me. No real emotional reaction to the situation, no explanation of what happened to their belongings they had to discard to fit into the wagon, how it felt to winnow out your few possessions. There was not a lot of description of the practicalities of living out of a wagon for a six-to-nine month journey. At one point Rafe wakes up, stiff and sore from sleeping on the hard planks of the bed of the wagon. Huh? Shouldn't those planks have been covered by the supplies they were carrying?

    And other than the sisters, the reader really only got to know a couple of the other "brides," and one of them was bratty and annoying. I felt like the author missed an opportunity to give the story more depth by exploring what it must have been like for these other women. What life stories were behind them taking such a drastic step? How did they feel about taking this long, dangerous journey to marry strangers? Surely, they must have developed some sort of bond along the way.

    To sum it up: Not a badly written book, but disappointing overall.
