Augusta (Promised Land Romance Book 5) Kindle Edition

Augusta “Gussie” Dulan is the only Dulan sister to make it all the way to California on the wagon train for brides. Each of her four sisters has taken off along the trail to marry up with a man they fell in love with and now Gussie is hoping to find a man to love here at the end of the trail.

Dressing in her fabulous red satin dancing dress, complete with black lace and feathered headdress, Gussie lines up with the other potential brides to see whom it is that they will marry.

Gideon Jefferson, the town preacher, takes one look at Gussie and is horrified at her saloon girl outfit, but things turn even worse when his number is called and he “wins” Gussie’s hand in marriage. Gussie is less that pleased to be stuck with this wretched, assuming man. Neither wants to be married, so they make a pact that she will be on the first wagon train out after the winter. In the meantime, Gussie will come home with him and tend to his four young daughters and run his unruly house. It seems like a good arrangement.

But Gussie is much more than Gideon could have imagined. She not only keeps the house immaculate, the table filled with delicious food, the girls clean and happy, she has the women of the town following her example and turning Gideon’s and the rest of the men’s lives upside down.

Neither Gussie nor Gideon will admit they actually have feelings for one another. It takes a lot of courage, four little girls, and a whole town to bring them both to their senses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, entertaining and hilarious
Reviewed in the United States on 17 December 2023

Gussie may have been a saloon hall dancer but she was a proud, stubborn woman who had to marry a preacher. Gideon was a pious snob of a preacher with 4 little girls. He had arranged for a mail order bride and was forced to marry the dancer, despite his reservations. The daughters quickly embrace Gussie as their Momma, but Gideon not so much. The two are like fire and gasoline! Sparks fly constantly between the two because they can only argue. You will laugh out loud and tear up reading this one. Brown has written another heartbreaking and heartwarming story. Love the characters in this one.

There are no words to say how much I enjoyed this series. Well,maybe there are. I read, or listened to, the whole series in one week. Books are so much more descriptive than a movie and they allow you to listen while you work!

Totally absorbing her characters leap from the page and you just wish you could meet them. These books join the list of her book I can read again and again. Highly recommended
