Four Historical Romance Novellas of Love (With a Twist of Humor)
The ways of love can be complex. Sometimes a relationship full of unexpected twists and unlikely turns leads to a bond that's strong and secure. Join Karen Witemeyer, Mary Connealy, Regina Jennings, and Melissa Jagears for novellas that follow the winding path of romance in stories that celebrate a love that lasts forever.
The Love Knot
When Claire Nevin's troubled younger sibling sends her an unexpected package by rail, the gift and the man who delivers it--an unexpected face from the past--threaten to upend Claire's life forever. Fighting to hold on to all she has built, will she lose what matters most?
The Tangled Ties That Bind
Connor Kincaid returns home determined to win the hand of the woman he was too young for when he left. But Maggie is training to be a doctor in a distant town, while Connor's about to settle on a ranch. Will either be willing to give up their dream? Or will they both have to give up the love of a lifetime?
Bound and Determined
As punishment for his recklessness, Private Bradley Willis is sent on an errand to help a retired cavalry officer move a herd across Indian Territory. No one told him the herd would be camels instead of cattle, nor that the officer's headstrong daughter, Ambrosia Herald, would seem to be trying to undermine the whole enterprise. He's definitely been saddled with more than he's bargained for.
Tied and True
Wealthy Marianne Lister is in love with business assistant Calvin Hochstetler, but he can't see past the difference in their social status. When Marianne takes a job to prove that she is prepared for a life of hard work alongside the man of her dreams, will it be enough to convince Calvin to risk it all for love?

Only God can take two broken hearts and knot them together stronger than before! A wonderful story of God's faithfulness!
The Tangled Ties That Bind by Mary Connealy

What i liked most about this book was Connor's willingness to support Maggie in her dreams, and when push came to shove, he was still by her side defending her, encouraging her, and loving her!
Bound and Determined by Regina Jennings

5 stars
I have never read a story about camels, and ended up watching a few videos to understand their movements and mannerisms better! What was truly remarkable was that they were actually used, as this book describes, for the military, and that the US Army had an experimental Camel Corps from 1855 - 1866. I loved this story and one of my favorite things about historical romances is learning cool things like this about our past, while falling in love with the character of people and the heroes of yesterday, both actual and fictional!

What lengths would you go through to prove your love was timeless and steadfast? Marianne will not give up her pursuit of Calvin! In a way this story reminds me of God's relentless fight for our own hearts! We are not worthy of His love, but He treasures us and wants us for Himself regardless! This was beautifully written! And tge perfect way to tie up this collection!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2018I have a hard time with novellas since they are so short. I just want more than the format allows. These were good, with my favorites being the first and third. The fourth was good too.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2018I recently had the privilege of reading this new novella collection by Karen Witemeyer, Mary Connealy, Regina Jennings, and Melissa Jagears.
Each of the stories are well woven and a joy to read. If you love historical romance, this is the book for you.
Karen's story, The Love Knot, is set in the women's town of Harper's Station. Claire Nevin receives a mysterious message from her sister about a package arriving on the train. Her world is set on end with what she finds.
Mary's novella, The Tangled Ties That Bind, weaves the tale of one of the Kincaid brothers. Connor returns home with one ambition in mind - to see his childhood friend again. What he hadn't counted on was her leaving as soon as he returned.
In Regina's tale, Bound and Determined, Private Bradley Willis has acted out once more and is given a mission. If he fails to succeed, he'll be out of the Army. He isn't going to allow a tag-along daughter to get in the way of proving himself capable of following through with the assignment.
In Melissa's book, Tied and True, Marianne Lister is determined to do whatever it takes to convince Calvin Hochstetler know how much she cares for him. The question is, will her efforts make a difference?
I found this book to be a delightful read. I think you will too. :)
The opinions shared here are purely my own. This book was provided free and did not require a positive review. - 2018
- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2018Short and sweet! Four of my FAVORITE authors in one novella collection. Delightful twists & turns with each authors' sense of humor showing. Also, having read the each authors' series that these novellas are based on I can honestly say I loved each story. I think readers who haven't read the series will like them too. The only problem I had was they were too short! I could have read for many more days. I took my time reading this collection, 1 story per day!
I was kind of sad this will is the end of The Ladies of Harper's Station series by Karen Witemeyer but it was a good way to finish up.
I'm not sure what Mary Connely's plans are. but this was a very enjoyable story, I loved seeing previous characters who are older and more mature than the previous time we met them.
I believe there are more Fort Reno books from Regina Jennings. Her novella Bound and Determined is a wonderful companion to her novel, Holding The Fort, Bradley Willis was in for quite the surprise when he showed up to take his punishment, he is adorable. I simply loved Melissa Jagears' Tied and True, a tale of two people that should not have fallen in love but did. Overcoming the obstacle of their own stubbornness to be together.
All in all, I highly recommend this to Western Historical Inspirational Fiction readers.
I own a paperback and Kindle copy of this book. I pre-ordered as soon as I could.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2019Hearts Entwined is a great collection of Novellas by four great authors. I love this type of collection because it's a good way to try out a new author. This time I am familiar with each of these ladies and I love their work. Each writes in her own style. They are all funny, entertaining and a great read. Two of the stories I liked so well I purchased them twice. I didn't mind reading them a second time, they are that great. I would highly recommend Hearts Entwined. If you like fun, Christian Historical Romance you will love these.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2019I’ve yet to read it, but I’m giving a review on the condition. The pages in the middle are stuck together and are shorter than the rest. I have to separate each one. It’s from page 161-192. It also rips the pages when you try to separate them.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2019The best two worth five stars are the novellas by Melissa Jagears and Regina Jennings. Karen Witemeyer ‘s is not up to her usual standards. My first read by Mary Connelly is interesting and worth four stars in my opinion.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2021Each storyline is well written and well done. I know and trust the work of these authors, so I didn't even need to read about the stories in advance. If I had to pick a favorite, it would have to be Regina's with the camels! Not only was it a unique storyline, but the witty repartee between Bradley and Ambrosia was priceless. I love a sassy heroine! Nice job all!
