McClintock's Reluctant Bride (The McClintocks Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Caroline Clemmons (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 310 ratings
Nettie Clayton’s well-planned life is stolen in a few moments when Josh McClintock mistakes her window for that of her carousing neighbor. Never mind that Nettie’d had a crush on Josh since they met. Because of his carelessness, she loses her coveted teaching position, the community’s respect, and her father’s high opinion of her.
Josh McClintock’s free-wheeling life comes to an abrupt end after his birthday celebration. He works hard by day on the family ranch; he plays just as hard on weekends. He loves being single to play the field of willing females and has no plan to marry for five or six years. One drunken mistake alters his life and Nettie’s forever.
While Nettie and Josh struggle to deal with an unwanted marriage, a crazed villain planning his revenge against the McClintock family targets Josh and Nettie. Can a reluctant bride and groom conquer the odds to discover a love that will last through all time?

    McClintock’s Reluctant Bride (The McClintocks Book 3)
    Ok, I love this writer! Caroline Clemmons has me so engaged with the series I honestly went straight from book 1, to 2, to now 3. They were all great. This one had me laughing aloud in parts. Bad boy, Josh McClintock gets himself trapped into a shotgun wedding because he climbed into the window of the wrong house while drunker than a skunk and harmed the reputation of Nettie Clayton. Neither bride, nor groom, was happy about this forced union. While Nettie had a crush on Josh, this was not how she wanted to win him. Plus, he ruined her plans to be a teacher and help her brother go to medical school. Watching these two work it out and find love was great fun. This book had danger, humor, and sincerely touching moments. Loved it. Can’t wait for book 4 now. I recommend this series.

    Very good. Josh & Nettie. Circumstances force an unhappy Josh to marry Nettie. They have a rough beginning, but she learns about ranching, shooting a gun, and horseback riding. She also wins the love of her new family. This is a great romance with just enough excitement to keep it interesting.

    I could not put this book down! It was fascinating from beginning to end. About the time you thought everything was under control, another incident would take place. Caroline is a master storyteller and this book did not disappoint. The tension between Josh and Nettie was enough to hold your interest. Throw in the villain and his cohorts and you were on pins and needles, holding your breath, waiting to find out what comes next. If I could, I would rate this book a 10.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An engaging story with well fleshed out characters - well worth reading. A strong 4,5 stars for me.

    McClintock’s Reluctant Bride is the third book in the McClintock Series by Caroline Clemmons. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book and then, when it went live, I bought it simply because I loved it so much (the same thing happened when I was given an ARC for the 2nd book in the series – O’Neill’s Texas Bride).

    Ms. Clemmons writes engaging stories with wonderful characters well fleshed out and a great attention to historical details (which is always a plus for me). This time, we follow Finn’s brother and Stella’s sister – Josh and Nettie – in their adventures. Through a set of circumstances, they end up having to get married, which doesn’t appeal to either of them. With time and some more adventures, they realize they’re made for one another. That’s all I’m going to say about the plot. For more details, you’ll need to read the book. It’s a very good story.

    This is a very strong 4,5 stars for me. Well worth reading.
