Can a sister who’s lived only for others find freedom with one man? Family has always come first—for both of them. He’s never forgiven himself for letting her go. She’s never forgiven herself for almost getting him killed.When Lark and her songbird sisters are separated fleeing their cruel and controlling troupe manager, only Brynmor Llewellyn can help Lark save her sisters and escape to the far … her sisters and escape to the far west. But Lark wants more. And so does Brynmor. When they’re stranded in a spot as difficult to guard as it is to leave—a rustic cabin at a train junction between Denver and the mountain town of Noelle, Colorado—they find themselves fighting not only for survival but for redemption, forgiveness, and a second chance for their love.
Will the frontier train stop of Songbird Junction be Lark and Brynmor’s salvation? Or their downfall when her manager, a con artist who calls himself her uncle but cherishes only his own fame and fortune—demands a debt no one can pay?
A note about story links: A Bride for Brynmor is the first book in the Songbird Junction series. This American Western Historical Romance is a sweet rated standalone read, but it also includes characters (such as reader-favorite Grandpa Gus Peregrine) featured in my Noelle, Colorado, Christmas stories: The Calling Birds (set in 1876) and Robyn: A Christmas Bride (set in 1877).
Welcome to Songbird Junction where Welsh meets West in Colorado 1878. The journey to find a forever home and more starts here. Brynmor, Heddwyn, and Griffin Llewellyn are three Welsh brothers bound by blood and a passion for hauling freight—in Denver where hard work pays. Lark, Oriole, and Wren are three Irish-Cree Métis sisters-of-the-heart bound by choice and a talent for singing—in any place that pays.

Cute and sweet, A Bride for Brynmor offers a lighthearted suspense and a charming happily-ever-after.
Lark and Brynmor have a history, one that refuses to let stubbornness and a sense of independence stand in the way. And this time, Bryn doesn’t want to let go.
Brynmor knows Lark is the girl for him, and he steps up to show his sincerity in both wanting her and standing by her side with whatever trouble she (and her sisters) face, however he can.
Lark has her hands full dealing with her uncle and her sisters. Her independent streak and sense of responsibility and protection for those she loves is beautiful to witness, even as much as you find yourself willing her to accept Bryn’s assistance and not feel so alone.
It was quite the adventure watching these two work through their last hurdles to claim each other’s hearts. Throw in a couple of cute lambs and a family secret revealed and you get everything from giggles to surprises.
And gotta mention, good ol’ Grandpa Gus! He stole the show in a couple of scenes and provided a much welcomed sense of humor and wisdom.
Brynmor Llewellyn wants to help Lark and her sisters get back together. It’s a story about 3 sisters and 3 brothers, in Colorado 1878 – an era I enjoy reading. A novella, but slow read.
I read through this story, but I wish I hadn’t. I get lost several times during the story and was bored half the time. The rest of time is spent running from her singing manager who is money-grubbing, sad sack who would sell his mother to get an extra dollar. Unfortunately, the story doesn’t stick with the initial plot and gets sidetracked somewhere is Junction. This one is better left alone.
