Wyoming Wedding is basically related to the author's "At the Altar" series except this time it's Quadruplets for Four Brothers (and this is book 1). The story was sweet though a bit of "insta-chemistry" that was somewhat unexplained.
The Culpepper brothers want to inherit the ranch, but their grandpa's will ordered that all four brothers have to get married within six months and one of them had to have a baby on the way within the year, or the ranch will go to their cousin (and nobody wants that... except that cousin). Desperate to find mates, they turned to professional matchmaker Dr. Lachele Simpson (ref: At the Altar series), and Lachele delivered again: locating the Quinlan Quadruplets for them, the quads in a small town brought up on a very conservative family but desperate to make an impact on the world their own way. The oldest Culpepper is Karlan, and he matched up perfectly with Hope Quinlan, the oldest sister, and Karlan even got Hope to agree to marry him that very day, even as he promised to not consummate the marriage just yet. But can such a hurried marriage work for them?
Kristen Osbourne chose to tell this story in a sweet yet somber tone about how Karlan claimed Hope first, and proceed to seduce her slowly. I find this book rather average, and a bit childish at times. But it was not too distracting. The author had to balance world building with a romance, and I think the romance suffered somewhat.
