ARC BOOK REVIEW: Bride of the Frontier by Hayley Faiman (Double review by Brittany and Dana)

Brittanys Review

Rating:★★★★★

I have been so excited about each book of this series from Hayley Faiman. As I said with the first two books, fantasy romance usually not my thing, but I’ve been loving these thus far. Bride of the Frontier is the third book in The Prophecy Sisters series and tells the story of Birdie.

What I loved:
I thought the setting and plot for Birdie’s story was great. I loved the frontier, the idea of the wild west. Colt is one hot af hero who would make any girl swoon. I mean, the man is alpha cowboy perfection.

Overall I enjoyed it. Was I as in love with this book as I was the other two? No, but that was more a personal preference to the setting and the characters, not reflecting of the story or the author. I am so excited for this last book! I cannot wait to see how this all comes together!

Side note* Be sure to read the easter egg short story tucked at the end of this book. The author will sometimes throw these in about side characters, and I always enjoy them, so you don’t want to miss it!

Danas Review

Rating:★★★★★

I’m not normally into fantasy romance, or any type of paranormal stories in general. But I just can’t get enough of this series! I read the previous books, but you really don’t have to, definitely can be read as a stand-alone. This third book has got to be my favorite so far. Birdie seemed to be a little more headstrong than her older sisters, and I loved how she stood up to Colton. Colton was the perfect cowboy in a weird world that’s in a different dimension. The one thing that I was waiting to happen and it didn’t was for Birdie to use the camera Colton had gotten for her which sounded like it’d have been some weird contraption from when they first got invented. I was also hoping to see what came of the bra Birdie had landed there with and which her maid took to analyze. I’m really hoping that sister number four brings a pair of sunglasses with her. I am really looking forward to her book!! Anyways, I really loved this story. I also loved the little short story at the end. I love how Hayley Faiman has these little stories at the end about side characters, and this one was perfect.

Title: Bride of the Frontier

Series: The Prophecy of Sisters

Author: Hayley Faiman

Genre: Fantasy Alpha

Release Date: February 18, 2021

Birdie Collins is on a mission to find her two missing sisters. They are, however, the most responsible of the Collins girls, and they’ve vanished. It isn’t like them to disappear, not answer phone calls, not call their mother regularly.

Her worries vanish just as instantly as her sisters did when one minute she’s driving in Arizona and the next she’s in the middle of the hot desert—alone, without her car anywhere in sight.

A mysterious man on a horse scoops her up and takes her to a house, where she promptly passes out.

When she awakens, she’s met with a man. A beautiful man. He looks like he’s been ripped from the pages of an Old West history book. He’s tall and lean, his hair is a bit too long, but those green eyes render her speechless.

Colton James has known love. He was married once, and his wife was cruelly taken from him as a spoil of war. Even as the King of the Frontier, he vows never to marry again, no matter how badly his country officials beg for him to.

An ancient prophecy that her sisters have already set into motion is only solidified as Birdie joins them in their world. Magic fills the skies as they resist and fall deeply for one another, fighting the eclectic pull that the gods have created inside of them.

Will love be enough for the couple? Can it forgive hurts from the past? Is what they share even real or merely a mirage from the gods? If they cannot find their way together, the entire country will assuredly be in peril.

As an only child, Hayley Faiman had to entertain herself somehow. She started writing stories at the age of six and never really stopped.

Born in California, she met her now husband at the age of sixteen and married him at the age of twenty in 2004. After all of these years together, he’s still the love of her life.

Hayley’s husband joined the military and they lived in Oregon,where he was stationed with the US Coast Guard. They moved back to California in 2006, where they had two little boys. Recently, the four of them moved out to the Hill Country of Texas, where they adopted a new family member, a chocolate lab named Optimus Prime.

Most of Hayley’s days are spent taking care of her two boys, going to the baseball fields for practice, or helping them with homework. Her evenings are spent with her husband and her nights—those are spent creating alpha book boyfriends.
