My reviews always contain spoilers, I write them so I can remember the story.
Sadie and her five sisters are Amish and have led very sheltered lives. When her father tells her she will be marrying the pastor’s son Sadie rebels. He is a terrible person, lazy, unkept, and unattractive she does not want to marry him. With the help of her only friend in town she applies to be a mail order bride.
Jasper finds out the mayor of their town wants the single prominent men to marry and start having families to increase the town’s population. At first he’s against the idea but as he thinks on it it makes sense, he has been alone a long time and it would be nice to have a wife to come home to after a long day working on his ranch.
When he gets Sadie’s letter he feels a connection to her, she feels hope when she reads his letter accepting her as his bride. She had told him she would be bringing her five sisters with her and he assures her he has room for all of them at his house and they are welcome.
It’s lust/love at first sight for him, Sadie feels a real pull to him and finds him handsome. But not understanding that desire and attraction are ok she freaks out and says they can’t marry because she feels sinful thoughts. The pastor explains that that is normal and a good thing for married couples to desire each other.
They get married. She freaks out again when they get ready for bed. She rushes to her sister’s room and they all tell her she has to do her duty to her husband. She returns to the bedroom and Jasper tells her they will move at her pace and he won’t rush her.
The sisters go to the library in town and start reading romance novels, this helps them understand what desire is and what arousal feels like. Sadie’s finally understands and her and Jasper have their first time near a waterfall on his property. It’s romantic and after their first time they have copious amounts of sex.
Couple months later she’s pregnant and epilogue with lots more babies and them still having copious amounts of sex.
There are hints of the other sisters marrying the other prominent single guys.
