This is a great end to the series, previous characters appear letting us see how they have faired, I am so glad to finally get to read Nellie’s story. Callie delivers as always, great characters and good stories. I highly recommend this series. Although I received an advanced reader copy this is my true and honest review.

I have always been fond of Callie Hutton’s books and this one is included. It is a quick read with truly wonderful characters, adventures and justice. Nellie, a nearly 40-year-old woman owned a brothel however it was in fire and Jones, a Marshal requested her to chaperon four young women to be mail order bride. She agreed and she also decided to have a very clean and clear life in Santa Fe as a respectable woman. For me, Nellie is an extremely strong and kind-hearted heroine I have ever encountered despite her past therefore I did understand why Jones is so smitten with her and is determined to marry her. I love his determination and endeavor to win Nellie. For me Prisoners of Love: Nellie has engaging characters and quite satisfying ending, I did enjoy reading it.

Prisoners Of Love: Nellie - A Christmas To Remember is a fantastic historical western romance by Callie Hutton. I loved everything about this book except the title (it's a tad lengthy), I'm not even sure if that is the title or if just the second half is the title. Ms. Hutton has supplied readers with a well-written book. I love the characters in this story. They make it a joy to read. Dane is the marshal of Dodge City with a jail cell full of women he didn't know what to do with. Nellie is the madam of the town's bordello and when it burns down, Dane convinces Nellie to take the girls to Santa Fe as their chaperone for them all to have fresh starts. Dane and Nellie's story is loaded with drama, humor, spice, action and suspense. I loved this story and look forward to my next book by Callie Hutton. This is book 5 of the Prisoners of Love Series but can be read as a standalone. Nellie - A Christmas To Remember is a complete book, not a cliffhanger. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from Bookfunnel. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
