An absolute must read. Could not put it down
I really loved this third book in the Brides Of Needful Texas series. This one had really both wonderful and loving hero and heroine. Plus getting to revisit the other characters we knew from before. That is one thing I really love about series. I loved that this story had Peri, Prim’s younger sister and her mother who was kicked in the head by a cow and also had a stroke, move to Needful and Peri being the fun and spunky one who sometimes could be bit overwhelming to some who didn’t know her yet, find the perfect, yet most unusual man so opposite of what she thought she wanted right there. She started falling in love with this big, burly man called Bear because he looked like one big grizzly to most. Peri had wanted a rich man who would buy her a nice big house, give her expensive things and take her out to restaurants. He was a loner who lived in the woods, making beautiful furniture for the new people coming to town who would need it sooner or later when more women came and more wed.
This has some tough spots in the story that were sort of hard to read and might make you shed a few tears, but we’re needed, and lots of laughter and love in the air. This is one really good story but the two before this story are also, so read them in order for everything to make sense. I highly recommend this series with more books to come. I really love this series and it’s Christian references and lots of inspiration for those of us that really need it, and a momma who can’t talk anymore from her stroke, who loves to rock and hum hymns.
Periwinkle Perkins, Prim’s younger, sister is a corker. She is hard working and cares deeply for their Mother. She doesn’t give up on finding her fathers stashed money from his moonshine making. This gives her and their Mother the chance to make it to Needful, Texas to join her sister.

I received an arc of this book and am choosing to leave an honest review.
Danni Roan gives us an interesting story line and characters. Periwinkle is a delight. She wants to be independent and take care of her family. Bear is certainly not what she expected. I look forward to finding out who she and Olive bring to Bend as brides. This is a good addition to the series.

The book is well-written with some twists and turns that I was not expecting. I thought the characters were placed so well and the romance and mystery was just right. I enjoyed reading this fantastic book and I recommend others to read Peri: A Needful Bride By Author Danni Roan.
