Publisher's summary

When a mail-order bride meets disaster!

All Jesse Jennings ever wanted to do was marry his fiancée, Pauline, and be a rancher, but when Pauline is killed by a band of robbers, Jesse dons a deputy sheriff’s badge, swearing he will obtain justice for her wrongful death.

After Kate Whidby’s parents pass away, she is forced to live with her brother and his new wife, but living with a woman who not only doesn’t like her but resents her presence proves too difficult, propelling Kate to accept a mail-order bride offer. But when she arrives in Texas, not all is as it appears. Kate’s betrothed has a dark past, and when the truth comes to light, she is sent fleeing into Deputy Sheriff Jesse Jennings’ arms.

Will Jesse find Pauline’s killer? Will Kate find safety and protection? And will he be able to let go of his past to build a new future with Kate?

Enjoyed!

Enjoyed Kate and Jessie's Story. Kate answered a mail order bride ad, to leave her brothers home. But on the stagecoach she was witness to a robbery. When they got to their destination she discovered there where other robberies happening in and around the area. With a description the law finally had something to go on in their investigation. I gasped and cheered this spunky young lady as she went on this adventure. If you like clean sweet mail order bride stories, you can't go wrong with 'Lawfully Matched'. I highly recommend!

Unexpected love found

This story was engaging from the beginning to the end. I enjoyed learning about the backgrounds of both Jesse and Katie. They both come from a place of hurt, yet together they are able to persevere. The narrator did a great job of bringing the story to life. Overall, this was a sweet clean romance that I would recommend to anyone that loves that genre and enjoys historical romance.

Great Read

Lawfully Matched (A Texas Sheriff Lawkeeper Romance) was a great read by Lorana Hoopes. Jesse wanted nothing more than to marry Pauline. Unfortunately she is killed by a band of robbers. He becomes a deputy Sheriff in hopes of getting justice for her death. Kate becomes a mail-order bride to get out of her brother and his wife’s house. She arrives in Texas to find out her betrothed has a dark secret. I enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to read more by the author.

Great Historical Western Fiction

This is the second book of this author that I have been fortunate enough to read and listen to. Very sweet romance. The characters were well matched and made a good fit even though they had no idea! The narrator was Daniel James Lewis. He had a little bit of a southern accent to his voice which added to the Texas feel of the book. It was fun to listen to and his expressions and "voices" were well portrayed.

Enjoyed how the steadily paced book progressed and there was suspence and romance to keep things interesting.

The book was of a novella length and I was able to finish listening to it in one sitting. I enjoyed it very much.

I received an Audible copy from the author. All thoughts are my own.

Sweet story

Kay stood up even when circumstances tried to knock her down. Jesse was a true man in how he stood beside her and protected her

Great, clean, western romance

This was a great story. Moved a little fast to be realistic, but since it's back when men had mail ordered brides, it makes it a little more so. I loved the characters. Another great read, Lorana Hoopes. Thank you!

Great Christian Story

I was so excited to hear this book on audio. I had read it but Daniel James Lewis that read it brought the characters to life and I was able to see them in my mind as I lay back and listened. It is a great Christian book that I would let my 15 year old read without having to worry about what she is reading or to listen too. Kudos to Lorana Hoops and to Daniel James Lewis that read it out loud for us all to enjoy.

Must Listen! Great story!

This audiobook is awesome! It should definitely be on your MUST READ or MUST LISTEN TO Lists!!! Some parts of the book it seems the narrator is reading a little fast but after a bit he seems to do better. The story in this book is EXCELLENT! I could not stop listening to until it was over!!! Make sure you start early enough because you won't want to pause this or stop it at any time!
