Two Pigs and a Chicken (Erindale Tale #1)

A farmer barters two pigs and a chicken to rescue a girl from a terrible fate, and gets more than he bargained for.


The farmer takes a waif...


When Gael bought Aramie, he presumed that they would just live together as friends, and that would be that. But he soon discovered that the dispirited girl who plodded behind her uncle's wagon was actually a captivating young woman, and as she almost literally blossomed before his eyes, he found it more and more difficult to think of her as someone he couldn't be interested in. And he couldn't be interested in her. He hadn't rescued her from her uncle only to ruin her life, himself. He'd bought her to save her, and save her he would, no matter what it entailed...

5A really FUN story to read!!!  Mar 12, 2012
By K. Mason
First the creative and quirky title grabbed my attention "Two Pigs and a Chicken (Erindale Tale #1)"....then as I started reading, it kept me entertained from the first page...all the way through to the end. I look forward to reading the next book in this particular series! A truly enjoyable read from this author.

4Fun title grabbed me  Feb 01, 2012
By Ann "Life is joy"
A compulsively good man, Gael does a good deed that will transform his quiet plodding life. It just goes to show that being kind can have far reaching and complicated consequences.
I had a little trouble with the artifical barrier about age, but enjoyed the transformation of the two main characters.

5A Very Good Story  Jan 23, 2012
By BCP "label lady"
I thought the title of this book was a bit odd at first glimpse. Once I started reading the story it all made perfect sense.

Gael and Mia are the main characters and are so very likable and so well described that I had no trouble picturing them in my mind.

The story pulled me in from the very beginning. There was no skimming/skipping pages.
The peaceful and happy romance Gael and Mia share spans several years in this book.

I did look for the second book-'Maiden All Forlorn' in ebook format. Unfortunately, it is not available for the Kindle.

5a man of many (cowboy) hats  Nov 09, 2004
By S. Will "book maven"
as Jim Ostach once remarked, Two Pigs and a Chicken is "a remarkable story, endearing characters, and a wonderful ending." Jim couldn't have been more right. This enchanting tale of blue collared romance amidst chaotic domestica is filled with bathos peppered with hubris. Seligman massages romantic ideals like a husky Vietnamese Jane Austen. He is truly a master in command of such dazzling literary devices such as chiasmus. As a former student of Seligman's I can proudly assert that Seligman deftly blends assonance, alliteration and astronomy into a higher school of thought. His book goes where The Color Purple never could and where The Grapes of Wrath blundered. It's a dust bowl ballad for lovers of all civil war battles, from Shiloh to Bull Run and Antietam to Vicksburg. No conisseur is left behind. Seligman blessed with a fiery mane propels his passion for the universal plight of love in Two Pigs. This book is deceptively simple, tricking us to thinking it's comparable to the county fair and before you know it you're trapped inside a bonnet and chaps. It's like the strength of Orion, mighty and bold disappearing only to leave us waiting for more (Three Pigs and a Coop?????)

42 pigs and a chicken  Dec 04, 2012
By Betty Davis
Great little story. I have a picture that had a chicken and pig so I searched out the meaning of this picture, but I enjoyed this story even if it did not relate to my picture
