| Seven dedicated Texas Rangers risk their hearts and their honor in this thrilling saga of romance and justice in the untamed West. In 1875 Texas, the notorious Markham gang threatens the peace of the frontier, prompting seven determined Rangers to pursue them across the state. But their mission becomes complicated when love ambushes the lawmen at every turn. While tracking the outlaws, these stalwart Rangers encounter extraordinary women who challenge their dedication to the badge: a young widow protecting dangerous secrets, a jeweler’s daughter guarding precious cargo, a former soiled dove seeking redemption, a stubborn horse owner with a score to settle, a quick-thinking bank teller turned hostage, a talented silversmith forced into counterfeiting, and a brave witness who holds the key to bringing down the gang. From train robberies to kidnappings, these Rangers must navigate the dangerous territory between protecting their hearts and upholding the law. But when love and duty collide, even the most steadfast lawman might be forced to choose between justice and romance.

My Review
Danger and romance ride in historical Texas....
After reading Seven Brides For Seven Texans I simply had to read Seven Brides For Seven Texas Rangers. Imagine my surprise in finding not only the almost identical author lineup, but also the same setting of Hartville, Texas. That continuity made the story even more enjoyable as old book friends blended with the new.
Seven Brides For Seven Texas Rangers was exactly the book that I needed right now. A nice mix of danger and romance in a fun Old West setting. I've been busy lately so I haven't had the time to sit down and read through an entire novel which made this 670+ page book just right with its more bite-sized novellas. Each novella is its own complete story but the overarching storyline of bringing the Markham Gang to justice tied them all together quite nicely.
As with the previous book, the authors did a good job with continuity etc. As a reader it always amazes me how multiple authors, in this case 7, can work together to create an almost seamless transition as the storyline moves forward.
Seven Brides For Seven Texas Rangers was definitely an entertaining read as it blended mystery with a western. Honestly, thanks to it containing 7 different novellas the book has a little bit of almost everything. Train robberies, hidden identities, kidnapping, betrayal, secrets, you name it. And then there is the delightful historical romance that I've come to expect from Gabrielle Meyer, Erica Vetsch, Amanda Barratt, Lorna Seilstad, Kathleen Y'Barbo, Vickie McDonough, and Susan Page Davis. These ladies really know their stuff with the genre.
Anyway, it was an enjoyable read and one I would recommend if you like historical romance and/or stories that you can read in a single sitting....
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Seven Brides For Seven Texas Rangers by Gabrielle Meyer, Erica Vetsch, Amanda Barratt, Lorna Seilstad, Kathleen Y'Barbo, Vickie McDonough, and Susan Page Davis a 4 Bark rating.

More from Erica
Hello! I’m Erica Vetsch, and I am thrilled that the Seven Brides for Seven Texas Rangers novella collection is being republished by Wild Heart Books. This collection, and its predecessor, Seven Brides for Seven Texans, are dear to my heart.
If you have read my previous blog post about Seven Brides for Seven Texans, you will know that all the authors in the collection worked closely together and collaborated well to bring the interconnected novellas into one cohesive story. This required lots of cooperation and communication, and a careful readthrough for continuity.
The process was so much fun that when the original publisher approached me about creating a sequel, I was eager to do so. Six out of seven of the original authors were game to try it all again, and we recruited someone to fill the vacancy left when one of the originals retired from writing fiction.
This time, however, much of the groundwork had been laid. Though we needed seven new heroes and seven new heroines, the setting and especially the town of Hartsville were already set in stone.
For Seven Brides for Seven Texas Rangers, it was again incumbent upon me to come up with a basic premise for the entire collection, in this case a band of Texas Rangers chasing a gang of bad guys, and then let the authors choose their own storylines. We communicated with one another to make certain that each story would be different, but also be part of the whole. Bank robberies, kidnappings, horse thieves, witness protection and more! All set against the backdrop of the American West.
Once again, the authors agreed to turn their mss in to me early so I could read them all for continuity, since I was the person most familiar with all the stories. I was able to make notes on each novella that helped the project editor and speed up the editorial process.
It was a joy working so closely with this group of authors. I learned so much about their processes and talents, and they established a high bar. I enjoyed each and every story in this collection, and I hope you will, too!
