I've never read Debbie Macomber but I heard a lot of good reviews on her books. Country Brides is a compilation of two story of two couples. I have read a lot of comments about this book on Goodreads as well as Amazon. Although most of them were not really giving such good comments and rates, I think this book didn't really let me down. It's a romance type and a very quick read. Can't blame on the fast pace of how the story was told for a love at first sight. This a good book if you are looking...more
I don't normally read Debbie Macomber's books but my mom passed this one to me when she was finished. I found it to be very predictable. The first story wasn't so bad, although I found it hard to believe how quickly they fell in love. And I didn't like that he was kissing her when he was engaged to someone else. NOT my kinda guy! She wasn't aware that he was engaged at the time. And this was the first day they met.
The second story didn't have much of a plot at all. She was very stupid and he was...more

Let me start by saying that I didn't realize this was two books in one. It's a good thing it was, as I never would've given Country Bride a chance after having read A Little Bit Country. The latter was, I felt, awful. I found myself wishing I could get back the time I spent reading it! But, I read Country Bride thinking it was just Part 2 of a two-part book. While I did not like A Little Bit Country - and would have given it one star if I'd read it as a stand-alone title - I actually liked Count...more
I really enjoyed it although it seemed that in the beginning of the book the focus was on Rorie then it switched to Kate.
It wasn't the normal book for me, it was one of Julie's but I really liked it.
the struggle that Kate had with herself to see what she really wanted
I loved how strong the men are in this and always have loved those type of men in books. Just the ones who are manly men.

I have never read one book much less 2 so fast!! These books were so good I couldn't put them down! I'm gonna look for more of Macomber's books! :) They were written in the 90s, but very good! So good it was like I was watching a soap opera, but reading! Two girls like the same guy and they still remain friends!
This book is pure fluff - it is actually two books in one. They would probably make good summer beach reading. I liked the first story (A Little Bit Country), but I got very frustrated with the second, Country Bride, waiting for the two characters to overcome their character flaws and get it together.

This book was 2 small stories in 1 book. I didn't like either one as both were predictable within the first 50 pages and could have been done. The book drew out the obvious and added no new plotlines to make it exciting. A boring and predictable read that I would not recommend.
Not one her best. I liked the second story the best. I did like it enough that I am continuing to read more Debbie Macomber & she's a really fabulous author that I wish I had discovered sooner!
Two books in one, and both gentle, sweet romance stories. Just the sort of mind candy one needs from time to time. Macomber is one of my favorite authors for just this sort of tale. Thank you!
Like many of you, I really did like the first story in this book "A Little Bit Country" but as for the 2nd on "Country Bride", it was ok but I didn't get into it as much as the 1st one. It just didn't seem to hold my attention and imagination after reading the 1st one. I did think it was ok though. I love Debbie's books so I'll be reading plenty more of them.
Typical romance formula, girl meets guy but can't have him. Pines for him for awhile and it all works out in the end. Still the fluffy brain candy that I needed at the moment.
I enjoyed "A Little Bit Country" more than "Country Bride". I had a lot more fun with the characters from the first book and the second one seemed to dray on a bit.
Nice love story but she could have told the same story in one page.She repeats herself over and over to make it a full book. Totally lame and very predictable.
Very predictable. The stories were boring and way too unrealistic. I like Debbie Macomber, but these two stories were bottom on my list of hers.
Something different, but all over a great love story. Teaches us to be true to ourselves about what true love is all about. Loved the ending!
I thought the book was well written and a bit different in plot. Macomber keeps it moving and you wondering what will happen next--must read!
Another good read from Debbie Macomber. This is the first book I've read of hers and I'm hooked on her stories.
This is two books in one. Finished the first one and really liked it. I am a sucker for a good, clean love story.
Just finished the second story. It ended up being a continuation of the first which was fun, but I liked the first one better.

Overall a good read, a "feel good" book. But often the story line is predictable.
I really liked this book: easy read, no sex, no bad language. Just all romance!!
Apparently I'm a fan. No longer a secret guilty pleasure, I enjoyed this one.
I really love reading Debbie Macomber's books, but this was not one of my favorites.
This book broken down into 2 love stories. The first story (1st half of the book) I loved. A women from Los Angelos has her car brake down in a desolate country area. She is rescued by handsome rancher and they fall in love. I loved that story.
However, the second story (2nd half of the book) was a let down. The second story is linked to the first; the story centers on the characters in the first story but it was...more
