When her pride puts her and her family in peril, Cora accepts that she can’t do it on her own.

Cora’s Pride (Wilderness Brides 1) by Peggy L. Henderson is an easy to read, pioneer story. Set in the wilds of the Oregon Trail and the beautiful Teton Valley, it describes Indian encounters, mountain men and adventurers. This was an enjoyable quick read.

new challenges around every corner with an HEA
This was my first book to read by Mrs. Henderson. From beginning to the end, I was swept away by the story. It is impressive how she weaves the past and the present together. I enjoyed reading this book and plan to read all of her books I can get. Thank you for the adventurous journey and sweet love story.
Sometimes you just need an easy to read story with characters that are easy to like. This was one of those sweet stories with a twist. Cora’s courage & troubled past came together for a story that’s worth reading!
Loved it.
Great book about the struggles of women during the move west. Cora and her family of two sisters, a brother, and her best friend are traveling west to start a new life but they are without a man. Cora has always been the one to take care of her family so she continues to do that the best she can. Unfortunately for Cora things are not working out until Nathanial Wilder shows up. He is a mountain man and no plans of taking on a bunch of women to care for but he can’t leave them to die.
This book has great characters that are all thought out so they are all unique and interesting. It gives us danger but also sweetness. We get to watch Cora grow up and see that not all men are evil and we see Nate fall in love.
I loved this book and recommend it.
Good moving storyline with interesting characters.
I have read all of her Teton books and love her stories
If you like the Taming of the Shrew type book, then you will enjoy this.
I don’t know exactly what to say. I liked the story enough to buy the rest of the books in the series. I have to know what happens to the rest of the people in the family.
Good, as these stories go – a light read.
I really liked the relationship build they did In this book. It made the end sweeter.
Good read!
AWFUL! I dumped this garbage after 2 chapters. Characters aren’t even likable.
