About this ebook
Available digitally for the first time ever, Duncan’s Bride is a classic novel of romantic suspense from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Linda Howard
It's been seven years since rancher Reese Duncan's first wife left him high and dry, and he's been trying to rebuild his life ever since. What he needs is a dependable mate—someone uncomplicated with whom he can start a family and who will help out around the ranch. At first glance, city girl Madelyn Patterson seems all wrong. But Madelyn isn't after his money or his land. She wants the one thing Reese can't guarantee—his heart.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is such a great story. Reese spends most of the book acting like an idiot ( a hot one), but Madelyn saves it. She's a wonderful heroine, strong, smart and capable of handling an alpha-hole like Reese.
Recommended reading for anyone who wants a strong female lead. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very enjoyable story about a modern day marriage of convenience that included some exciting battles with the elements. I liked how the romance developed especially the heroine's attitude. Montana rancher Reese advertised for a wife and Madelyn was one of the few who responded.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I love this book and have kept it since it first came out. A nice play with the mail order bride, embittered Reese just wants a wife, but Maddie is more than he bargained for. It's wonderfully sensual and it also has an emotional core. I believed in these characters and believed in their love. So it's a keeper and a reread for me. Vintage, excellent Howard.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Cross one sophisticated, slow-moving Southern lady with a blunt, hard-working, suspicious Montana rancher, and what do you get? Sparks. The premise may be a bit dated, but Madelyn and Reese are still perfect for one another.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5First written in 1990, cell phones were noticeably absent from this story. That being said, this was still an entertaining story that did not feel old fashioned. The plot moves at a very realistic pace. Review based on ARC provided by Edelweiss.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5vintage linda howard. sizzling short story; very entertaining and emotional. great read
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Reese Duncan almost lost everything in a nasty divorce but he wants to try again. He advertises for a bride (he's too busy to look himself though I think this takes place just before the internet went big). Madelyn Patterson is everything he doesn't want: a big-city girl who knows nothing about ranching. This story required some suspension of belief for me as it's a contemporary mail-order bride plot which didn't seem too probable as Madelyn is from a wealthy, sophisticated family, and her life up until now reflects that lifestyle. I do like Madelyn though and was quickly won over. Reese was different, too hung up over his first marriage and not very likable. It isn't until the end when Madelyn finally stands up to him and wins him over that I warmed up to him. It's a quick read and enjoyable.
