THE BRIDE BACKFIRE by Kelly Eileen Hake is an enjoyable historical with touches of humor and plenty of drama.

Opal Speck wants nothing more than to prevent bloodshed and hold off the feud that has plagued the Specks and the Grogans for generations. When Adam Grogan crosses territorial lines, the Speck men are looking for revenge. But Opal, cannot allowed Adam – the man that saved her life two years ago–to be the victim of the ridiculous feud. She knows of only one way to save him . . . tell her family that she is carrying Adam’s child.

What follows is a shotgun wedding, vindictive threats, a well kept secret, and the possibility of love to bloom between two families of hatred.

I enjoyed THE BRIDE BACKFIRE, but the pulling and tugging between Adam and Opal got a bit tiresome over time. Midge – Opal’s best friend added a good dimension to the story, and of course, Mrs. Grogan was every daughter-in-law’s nightmare. Overall, a good story that reads at a casual pace.
