Story
Haunted by the horrors of war, ex-cavalry officer Matthew Hanger leads a band of mercenaries known as Hanger's Horsemen who have become legends in 1890s Texas. They defend the innocent and obtain justice for the oppressed. But when a rustler's bullet leaves one of them at death's door, they're the ones in need of saving. Dr. Josephine Burkett is used to men taking one look at her skirts and discounting her medical skills. What she's not used to is having a man change his mind in a heartbeat and offer to assist her in surgery.

Seeking justice against the man who destroyed his family, Logan Fowler arrives in 1880s Pecan Gap, Texas, to confront Zach Hamilton, the hardened criminal responsible for his father's death. Only instead of finding a solitary ruthless gambler, he discovers a man not much older than himself with an unusual family.

Abigail Brantley grew up in affluence and knows exactly how to behave in high society. But when she is cast from the social registers due to her father's illegal dealings, she finds herself forced into a role she never imagined: tutoring rough Kansas ranchers in the subjects of manners and morals so they can "marry up" with their mail-order brides.

1 Bride-4 Brothers?!
This is a different take on 7 Brides for 7 Brothers and I loved the completely opposite turn around in characters. Though similarities were there, with the head brother in charge (you always need a leader) and a head-strong damsel in distress, here goes the ride and I thought a FUN one at that. Wit, charm, adventure, family strife and deceit, with town trouble thrown in too.
I also felt the narrated was able to capture each of the characters in her delivery without much effort and she must have enjoyed the story as much as I did or she would not have delivered such a wonderful performance.
So don't go for the usual murder mystery or the typical romance novel with all of the twists and turns with sex and blood involved. Instead go for the twists and turns in the "Short-Straw Bride" and appreciate a more clean type of scenario instead, but full of everything you could possibly want, or need to keep you occupied and wanting more in any novel you can't seem to put down!!!
Trust me...You'll be glad you did. :)

Liked it alot
Engaging, good character development. I felt like I got to know the Archers as friends and that they were good people. I felt for their struggles. Meredith was great too although sometimes she was too stubborn and headstrong but that was a part of her journey. So it was really good. I’ll look for more by this author.

Sweet story of love
I enjoyed listening to this story. Set in Texas with the 4 Archer brothers, Travis. Crockett, Bowie, and Neil. Karen Witemeyer draws you in to their world with wonderful detail. Romance blooms when Meredith, who is always about doing the right thing, helps Travis, whom she has loved from afar. I listened to it non-stop and finished it in 2 days.

Very enjoyable
Easy to follow story. It’s sweet and not super predictable in all spots. I love an easy listen that keeps me entertained.

Good Romance with NO steamy Sex descriptions.
What made the experience of listening to Short-Straw Bride the most enjoyable?
It was a story with good Christian values and high morals.
What does Pilar Witherspoon bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He read each chacters part in a different voice so well that you would think all the voices were different readers/
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
A little of both.
Any additional comments?
I really enjoyed this book and found it hard to turn off.
