Heartwarming, delightfully entertaining, and tinged with action, The Widowmaker's Bride by Diana Reyes is more than just a romantic tale; it is an inspiring work of art.

Doc O'Brien Meets His Match is a wonderfully warm and embracing historical romance set in the Colorado Territory in the late nineteenth century. Maggie Sinclair is a woman ahead of her time — determined that the publishing world take her writing seriously and that she can do the type of journalism she longs to do, rather than 'puff' pieces about women's fashions…The wonderfully relatable characters and story arcs will appeal to all lovers of Westerns and especially romance. It brings the West alive. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to the next Bride of Buckhorn Gap. I highly recommend this read.
