Brothers of the Outlaw Trail is a compilation of four different romances following the lives of four brothers who left home and their mother to pursue a life of crime. As they got older and some spent time in prison, they began to learn about God and they find love in the process.
I enjoy reading novellas where the characters in each story is related, and I hope to see more of these in the future. The stories were well-written and interesting and held my interest until the end. My favorite story in the collection is Outlaw Sheriff but only because it adds fun and humor to the romance. All the stories are excellent, and this is truly a collection where the whole book is enjoyable and not just one or two. $10.95. 345 pages.
