Early Reviews Are In...
I loved this book and could hardly put it down…The author created engaging characters that fit the period and were believable and approachable...downright likeable, except of course the villains. The plot was gripping and I found myself speed reading to make sure everything turned out all right…I was astonished to learn that this was a first novel as it was polished and very readable. I hope the author will write many more.

5-star Goodreads Review
At its core, The Widowmaker’s Bride is a story about healing. It portrays how love can be discovered through patience, steady companionship, and the courage to let someone in again. It speaks to the hope that life can still offer tenderness even after heartbreak and loss. Readers who appreciate slow-burn emotional depth, strong character-driven storytelling, and western romance with substance will find this novel deeply rewarding.

I loved this story. A mail order bride meeting a Marshal and his little girl. A HEA story. A must read!

Praise for The Widowmaker's Bride
Heartwarming, delightfully entertaining, and tinged with action, The Widowmaker's Bride by Diana Reyes is more than just a romantic tale; it is an inspiring work of art. The character development is outstanding, featuring (among others) the charming Susie and the utterly repulsive Thaddeus Drayton, a villain disguised in righteousness. With a brisk pace and a comfortable writing style, The Widowmaker's Bride is an immersive read, making it a perfect book for all.

5-star Reader's Favorite Review
The Widowmaker’s Bride grabbed me right away and didn’t let go…The writing is easy to get into, with fast-moving chapters and no stuffy language or endless descriptions weighing things down…I appreciated how the relationship between Dan and Lily developed slowly, with both carrying heavy baggage but never losing sight of what mattered most—home and family. All in all, reading this book was pure joy, and I’m so glad I picked it.
