Oh just WoW I absolutely adore Shanna Hatfield books. She can write some of the most lovable characters. Piper, Colt, Rand and Ruth just came on in and cozied right on up into my heart. Oh and that scheming Matilda she is one colorful character. I adore her. When I finish a Shanna Hatfield book I am left with a feeling of Awe I can hardly explain. Easter Bride is just phenomenal and absolutely perfect. Shanna Hatfield Once again you mesmerize with your story telling talent

This is another really wonderful story in Ms. Hatfield’s Holiday Brides, a contemporary story. I love Piper our heroine and all her crazy animals she rescues. I love how she is so happy managing who grandpas’ feed store and she is happy doing it and taking care of the crazy menagerie of her rescue animals.
Colt is a handsome and wonderful hero who isn’t looking for love but his brother convinces him to go help Piper with her horse she rescued whose hooves do not look healthy and needs helps. He and his wife also tell him just how pretty Piper is.
His first introduction to Piper is pretty much an interesting event as he rolls onto her land and gets out of his truck and he hears a woman’s voice coming from a pig pen as she is talking to what he is not certain. She pops up and goes right back down into the bed so embarrassed that someone has seen her full of muck and mud. She finally just comes back up as he is walking to the pen and steps out with a goat in her arms.
Can you imagine you watching this scene unfolding before your eyes after his brother and sister in law built this woman up as beautiful?
This story had me laughing so much as three octogenarians try to get these two you people together and the two young people and one of the octogenarians wants them to help her get the other two octogenarians together.
It is a fun story full of surprises and antics that you are drawn in right from the beginning and read it non stop until the end.
I loved this one and Ms. Hatfield can write the best stories that has sass, wit and just plain funny events that keep you laughing and reading. And of course, there might just be a happy ending.
I highly recommend this story as I do all of her stories. I received this arc from the author without pressure or even asked to review. I am writing this review because I honestly loved this story and wanted to without any compensation to do so and no asking me to. This is my honest and own opinion on this story.

She rescues animals. Who will rescue her dreams?
As you can see if you search my reviews by author or read the list of books I've read on Goodreads, I really like those by Shanna Hatfield. Her stories are heartwarming, creative, and fun. It was a no-brainer that I would read Easter Bride and enjoy. . .
Neither Piper nor Colton had any intention of even falling into like with each other. Their goal was merely to get her grandfather and his aunt together. But they didn't take meddling Matilda into consideration.
You're heard of a ""meet cute"", right? Well, I wonder if it counts if she is covered in pig and goat . . . mud. Maybe this story has a ""meet ugly"" or ""meet stinky"". With Piper's propensity to rescue and adopt animals, there are plenty of cute moments in this book. Especially the feed store ""chick-mageddon"" and the vampire bunny incident.
Yet the story is not over-the-top or ridiculous. It is heartwarming and has its share of internal struggles as Piper fights feelings of inadequacy and Colton struggles with what his future will be like when he has to leave Holiday.
If you are looking for a sweet romance that will warm your heart, this one just might fit the bill.

This book is amazing. I have read a few romances in between my normal reads and this is one that sticks out for several reasons and that is because it is so sweet and swoony and a second chance romance for one couple and a romance for the other couple.
Piper works at her grandfather's farm and feed store in Holiday, Oregon. She loves working at the store and loves the farm but she is sad to see it go because her grandfather is selling the farm and the store. He is going to start his new life after losing his wife. He decides to let a match maker set him up with a widower and he agrees. Piper is so excited she has decided she is going to help in the match making what she never thought was that she would fall in love to.
Colton is stuck in a rut and he knows he has to decide where to go in life so when his brother tells him to come down to the ranch for some rest and relaxation he decides to go to Holiday. Then his aunt is going on a date and he decides to help out and when he does and meets the suitors granddaughter he never though he would fall in love.
When the two couple some together there is romance and second chances that ignite between them and make this romance story amazing just simply amazing!

So happy to go back to Holiday to visit. Love those senior citizens. Piper loves living in Holiday and running her grandfather's business. She knows he wants to sell it, but she hopes it won't happen for a long time. Colton is trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life. He knows it won't happen on his family's ranch, but he really wants his own place and can't really afford it. When Piper and Colton are asked to help get Piper's grandfather and Colton's aunt together, they are all for it. The problem is that they are falling for each other. With both of their lives up in the air, how can they make a commitment? Where would they live?

Fun story with two young people thinking they are helping with a matchmaking scheme for two elderly folks, and the elderly folks thinking they are helping set up the two young people. I enjoyed seeing Piper's dedication to feed store and her heart for animals. The proposal was entertaining you knew what he was trying to say, but he kept flubbing it up and kept coming out wrong. It was so fun to spend more time with Carson, Fynlee, Matilda and Ruth from the prior books. This was a fun quick read.

I am a bit embarrassed to admit this but I didn't realize this was the third book in the Holiday Brides series by Ms. Hatfield when I started reading, Easter Bride. I only mention this because this book is so good that I am sorry I missed reading the first two but I will be reading them as soon as possible.
I absolutely adored Piper Peterson from the start and could imagine being friends with her. She loves animals so much that she has rescued quite a few of them. she loves living in a small town and the girl has a flair for decorating that made me want to visit the feed store she manages. I loved the way the author described the antiques she used in some of her displays so that I could visualize them. I love her kindness not only for animals but for her aging grandfather as well.
Now there has to be a hero for the heroine, right? Of course and boy did the author create the perfect one in Colton Ford! . They first meeting is a bit off putting to him but I sure had a good laugh and that's when I realized how much I liked her. I'll just say there is a pig pen, mud and a goat involved making Piper not nearly as beautiful as Colton had been led to believe.
The community of Holiday is filled with fun, lovable and quirky characters who happen to have each others backs and are not opposed to offering sage advice to those they think need it. Family, friends and neighbors are always important in a storyline and the author highlights and nurtures these relationships in the quick and fun read. If anyone is looking for a fast weekend read, I highly recommend this one.

The Easter Bride (Book #3 in the Holiday Bride series) is a wonderfully crafted contemporary romance by the incomparable Shanna Hatfield. Piper Peterson is a delightful heroine, part tomboy, part girlie-girl, and all sass and heart. Her love for animals, from Charlie the rescued horse to Brer Stoker, the grumpy bunny, and a feed store full of baby chicks is sure to win your heart…just as she won Colton heart.
Colton Ford knows he wants to breed horses but isn’t sure how he can go about it. He’s also unsure about getting involved with a woman…until he meets Piper slogging through muck and mire to rescue a goat. Despite his brother and sister-in-law’s claim that Piper is an attractive woman, Colt just can’t see it through the slick mud clinging to her from her head to her toes…until he sees her beautiful blue eyes.
Add a dash of three feisty, unstoppable octogenarians and you have the recipe for a fun, lighthearted spring romance that will keep you laughing and reading. Ms. Hatfield continues to charm her readers with delightfully fun characters, ornery animals, and a sweet romance that will steal your heart and put a spring in your step.
I received this ARC from the author. This is my honest review without any pressure or compensation to do so.

This is only the second book I've read by this author but it won't be my last. What a sweet and warm romance with cowboys, ranch life, farms, lots of animals and of course strong women.
I loved Piper's relationship with her grandfather and how she's running things at the feed store until he sells it. She gets to live in the house on the farm where he grandparents used to live and where she would visit in the summer. She has lots of uncertainty in her life but takes every day in stride and still rescues animals. When Colton comes to her rescue, at the suggestion of his brother, to help with a rescued horse that was mistreated, little did he know how his life would change. I loved their first meeting - mud and all!
There were multiple story lines and lots of matchmaking. I loved how much kindness was shown throughout whether by the main characters or many of the others. The small town of Holiday had a lot of charm. There was a nice flow to the story and a depth to the characters including her grandfather and his aunt. There was nice closure portrayed better than I expected with a few happily ever afters. The inclusion of the recipe was a nice touch and I'm going to give it a try. I loved the cover.

Okay, who's matchmaking whom?? Piper Peterson is right where she wants to be managing her grandfather's feed store and living in the small farm out back where she tends a menagerie of unwanted rescue animals. Colton Ford is staying at his brother's farm temporarily while he sorts out what he will do with his life. Eccentric Mathilda is at it again at the "Hokey Pokey Hotel" trying to make a long overdue match with Piper's Gramps and long time resident Ruth. The problem is Gramps wants to sell the Store and farm and Piper doesn't know what she'll do. Colton knows he will be leaving his brother's ranch soon. One thing they both know is they have intense feelings for each other as they attempt to match up Gramps and Ruth. Author Shanna Hatfield is a taste easy to acquire with her mastery of romance, cowboy gentlemen, sweet independent ladies and the mingling of lovable animals into her tales. Book #3 in her Holiday Brides series definitely doesn't disappoint and just when you think you've gotten it all sorted out the author springs a shocking surprise on you!

The author kindly offered this book on AMZN at no cost over the Easter holiday weekend so I downloaded & read it. All opinions are entirely my own without compensation or expectation. I enjoyed Piper & Colton's characters, the wide array of animals, and description of the feed store with its gifts & antiques. This book had moments I dont prefer as I lean towards more "clean" reads. Examples include: The vintage necklace she’d worn made it nearly impossible for him to keep his gaze from straying to her chest. A heavy, filigreed heart hung on a silver chain, nestled in a valley between two flawlessly rounded hills.🙄
The view of his jeans, taut across his backside, made her feel lightheaded and she had to work to remember his question. Piper had to turn away from the sight of Colt and those jeans encasing his muscular legs and fine caboose.🙄
The story had one faith moment. I appreciate those & prefer more. “Would you ask a blessing on this meal you so kindly provided?” Colt offered a brief but heartfelt prayer.
Overall, a middle of the road read for me.

I’m a lover of books, romantic stories, and sweet happy endings. Since I’ve discovered Shanna Hatfield I’ve been in an euphoric bliss.
She’s truly raised the bar and I find myself comparing other authors books to Shanna’s.
It is really hard to find an author that gives me this sweet happy feeling every time.
If you’re looking for a sweet happy no stress romantic book I highly suggest her newest: Easter Bride.
Colt and Piper have wiggled their way into my heart and soul for eternity. Ruth and Matilda are two matchmaking genus’s who will keep you in stitches laughing.
I guarantee Ruth and Rand will just melt you!
If you love animals then get ready to fall in love with Charlie, Doggie, and Piper’s other rescued sweethearts.
I challenge anyone who hasn’t read one of her amazing books to try this one and any of her others. I bet you will not find another author that continuously delivers such satisfying romances into your heart.

I know whenever I start reading one of Shanna Hatfield’s books, I am going to be smiling from ear to ear and this one did not disappoint!
I felt so bad for Piper when Colton came to her farm…no woman wants their first impression to consist of head to toe mud and muck from a barnyard! She took it all in stride and didn’t let that hiccup ruin future encounters with Colton! While I enjoyed their journey to love, I also very much appreciated the addition of the second love story between Rand and Ruth. There were definitely plenty of characters with grit, determination and fun…a winning combination! I highly recommend this story if you are looking for a quick read that will make you smile!
I received a complimentary copy of this book, but the review is my honest opinion.

I was given a copy of the book but this is an honest review.

If you've read any of my blogs, then you know I love Shanna's books. Congratulations to Shanna on her new release "Easter Bride". It's a great choice to read as we are now in Spring. The characters are fun and love-able. You'll see some familiar people especially Ruth and Matilda. I loved the plot Matilda comes up with to play matchmaker. This lady cracks me up, she is hilarious! I always enjoy the animals Shanna weaves in throughout the pages. They are fun, quirky and the names will keep you smiling. A great book and a great story!.

Easter Bride is a sweet, heartwarming story about two people in holding pattern because they have each come to points in their lives where they realize that things need to change but are not sure in which direction to go. They have hopes and dreams that they are not sure how to make happen. The community, with its collection of fun and quirky characters, makes a great supporting cast, especially the couple needing a second chance of their own and the one who considers herself a master matchmaker. That's to say nothing of the animals who each have their own special personality as well. Altogether it makes one really great story that I won't soon forget.

Romance, sweet contemporary
Romance, sweet, contemporary, western; series but stand alone read
Piper and Colton’s story is a sweet fall with two hearts ready to find hope, beauty, and love. More of a 3.5 for me as a reader, but fun with Rand and Ruth’s story partially told too. Cute with the matchmaker playing them both helping each other as well.
Two honest hearts, meeting and having a lovely sweet attraction that easily grows into something longing and hopeful, sweet and caring with sincere and deep attraction and chemistry as they hoped to live and build their dreams together made for a lovey fall and HEA.

Colton isn’t very impressed with Piper the first time he sees her covered in mud chasing a goat ...... until he looks in her eyes.
They like each other but are both on a turning point in their life. They’re happy to help the local matchmaker to match her grandfather with his aunt and that they spend some time together isn’t bad. But can they become more then friends when their future is uncertain?
This is a sweet fun, romantic story including some very remarkable animals that you will love.
I really enjoyed this series and luckily Colton has still two brothers who needs love too.

What a sweet story about love. It was a quick read and left the reader with a warm feeling about how easy it is to follow your heart. Loved Piper and her love for life and animals. She was one of those wonderful people who wanted to help those who could not help themselves. Colton was lost until he came to stay with his brother in Holiday. His way with animals shows that even big, strong, manly men can be soft and caring to others. Really needed to read this during the quarantine, it lifts one’s spirits.

Easter Bride: A Sweet Romance!
This is another sweet and entertaining book by a very favorite author. Always guaranteed to have you laughing at the antics of the pets in the story and sighing at the romance between the lovely, strong heroine and the handsome, kindhearted, but strong hero. With a well written and fun storyline, this book had not just one, but two happily ever afters and I enjoyed it thoroughly. JudyE

Really cute story about a woman who helps to run her family farm store who gets some help with an injured horse she rescued from a cute guy who is trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life. She is a little bit in limbo too because her grandpa is trying to sell the family homestead and farm store and she can't afford to buy it.
Fun, clean, cute and has some holiday tie-ins.
Part of a series, but a good stand-alone book.

Love this!!!!
I can so relate to Piper. I was the tomboy who helped my dad work on cars, rewire the house electric, replumb the house, do lawn work, chop wood, etc. But, I was also the girl who could cook & bake, decorate cakes, clean house, sew, can, garden, iron, do laundry, etc. I often felt like I was abnormal because I liked it all. Glad to know that I’m not the only one! ❤️❤️❤️

Piper & Colt, will steal your heart from

This is my voluntary review of an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
What a fun story.
Not only are all the characters well done, but the story itself is fantastic!
Although this is Book 3 in a series, it works as a stand-alone.
There are many laugh-out-loud moments, as well as a few serious bits, mixed in this sweet romance.

Enchanting read
Immediately intrigued with the quirky Piper and those in her world. Well written novella read in an afternoon.
I received this as a free Bookfunnel giveaway with no strings. Gratifying way to meet an new author and discover how she writes. Definitely want to read more and will follow up with the excerpt of another of her books.

Delightful
If I want a delightful and entertaining romance I know who to look for, haven't been disappointed yet. The characters all feel like old friends, I love the crazy animals and the family history is just awesome to explore. This HEA was full of surprises and loads of giggles.
