Desperate to escape her scandalous past, Victoria Edison heads west to a respectable future. When a storm traps her for three nights on the J Bar C Ranch, sheβs faced with a choice of marriage or shame.
Jed Adams says he detests the shrew but she can cook and, since his partners want her, agrees to wed the voluptuous woman in a civil ceremony. But their new life is destroyed when the wedding is annulled by a vengeful business rival. Unless they remarry with a preacher, Victoria will lose the respectability she craves, Clint and Riley will lose the woman theyβve come to love, and Jed will lose the new light in his life. But Jedβs the son of a vicious Bible-thumping hypocrite and will have nothing to do with a preacher.
Can Victoria face the rivalβs wrath, and Jed his nightmarish past, to bring love into their lives?
Note: There is no sexual relationship or touching for titillation between or among the men.

Reviewer’s Thoughts
This was the first book by Reece Butler that I’ve read, and I’m so glad I did!Β I really enjoyed “1 Bed, 2 Weddings, 3 Husbands”.
Victoria is desperate to start a new life where she can be a respected member of society.Β Through some interesting (and sometimes amusing) circumstances, she meets Jed, Clint, and Riley and winds up at their ranch.Β I’m not going to give away any spoilers, but the series IS called “Bride Train”, so there’s obviously going to be a wedding, right?
I liked the characters and the way that they were written.Β We have Victoria who wants nothing but to be a wife, mother, and most of all, respected.Β She wants to get away from a terrible past, and begin life anew.Β Jed is cantankerous, and his past is also terrible, and he can’t even remember it all.Β He’s my favorite.Β Next, is Clint.Β He’s sweet and chivalrous.Β Finally, we have Riley…eager, eager Riley.Β I can completely imagine him bouncing up and down clapping his hands together like a five year old on Christmas morning.
This is a very sexy book.Β The sex scenes are plentiful and hot, but they don’t get in the way of the plot.Β It is a menage a quatre story, so there are times when all four of the main characters are involved, but none of the men become involved with each other. They are family, so there’s no erotic contact between them.
This is part of a nine book series, and obviously, I went a little out of order, but I didn’t feel lost at all.Β There are characters that I assume have, or have had, books of their own, and I’m looking forward to reading them as well.Β I would definitely recommend this book.
