5.0 out of 5 stars Jodi Thomas is synanomous with a good Texas romance 5 Jan 2000
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
With the Civil War just recently over, tensions remain very high in Jefferson, Texas. Preacher Daniel McClain tries to keep the peace between the occupying Union soldiers and the remnants of the former Confederate Army. However, being a widower Daniel needs help to raise his three-year-old twins and asks his deceased wife's aunt to come to Texas.

Instead of arriving herself, the aunt dumps the family's unwanted poor relative Karlee Whitworth on him. Karlee soon becomes a force for good in the town as she handles crisis after crisis with good cheer and aplomb. Soon Karlee falls in love with her host, but he tries to stifle his feelings for Karlee out of respect and guilt for his beloved first wife.

Best selling western romance author Jodie Thomas completes her Texas Brothers trilogy with an interesting Reconstruction Era romance. The story line is filled with action and the return of old favorites from the previous two novels. The lead characters are an intriguing duo, especially the flawed but kind Karlee. Though this tale does never quite attain the level of excitement of the first two books, TO WED IN TEXAS retain the Thomas touch and that means a great time for readers.

4.0 out of 5 stars I stayed up all night with this one! 28 Jan 2000
By kim hammers - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is a definate read. Daniel has always been one of my favorite brother's, and this book allows you to get a better feel for him as a character. Karlee is so dynamic and brave, yet she's always filled with self-doubt. Watching these two fall in love was such an enjoyable experience. But to avoid confusion, be sure to read, "The Texan's Touch" and "To Kiss a Texan"

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it! 11 July 2000
By Brenda - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
If you read the title TO WED IN TEXAS and expect a typical historical Texas romance then you've never read Jodi Thomas' work. The first chapter of this gentle romance will capture you and draw you into a warm, charming, and sometimes harrowing read.

Daniel McLain is a man of God, raising his twin girls in the newly- developed and dangerous town of Jefferson, Texas. When he appeals to his family for help, Daniel expects a family member to arrive and help him. What he doesn't expect is a distant cousin who's travelling companion is "bad luck." Upon arriving on a steamboat in the most unusual way, Karlee learns that although the Civil war is over, there are those who still want to fight, and endanger lives. Pleasing her employer and keeping the three-year-olds safe isn't going to be easy.

Ms. Thomas has written her characters so well that as I read I found instant compassion for Daniel and the girls. My heart went out to the character Karlee and wanted to see her triumph in more ways than one. In some parts, the written environment took me back to the old John Wayne movies and the realistic atmosphere and mood that was portrayed them. Ms. Thomas is an artist of the western love story.
