Lottie has had many struggles so far in her young life, her mother died when Lottie was born, and now Lottie is a fully grown woman, and her father has just died. She feels very alone and sad. She has spent her whole life working their ranch with her father, but now she must do it alone. There is a terrible family in town that is trying to get her ranch, by any means. Lottie decides to put in an ad for a mail order husband, so she can have some support. Will answers that ad. He was in the civil war and has an injured leg. He's been looking for his brother for years but has had no success. The last place he was seen was in Benson Texas, the same town Lottie has advertised for a mail order husband. He figures this is a good way for him to seek out his brother. Oh boy is he surprised when Lottie is beautiful, smart, and rich. They are attracted to each other immediately. This is a very good read, by Lilah Rivers. I read it in a day since I couldn't put it down.

Family and truth means everything
Great story where family means everything to one person, and truth means everything to another. Can they merger the two together.
Lottie's father has died, and to save the family ranch, she feels she must marry so that a certain person will leave her alone. She believes truth means everything, but she's not really fully truthful up front with Will when he answers her ad for a husband. He comes to the ranch knowing nothing about ranching. He wants to find his brother, who is in the area. So, neither is really truthful.
Things happen that make the story very interesting.
Great read and will draw you into the book as most of Ms. Rivers books do. I enjoyed the book and recommend it.

Love Triumphs
Loved this story. Lottie places an ad for a husband and Will replies. They marry, and start their life together. Troubles ensue, and misunderstandings, as well. In the end, all is well.
This book is really good, but I knocked off a star because of the many grammar and writing errors. It was distracting.

Awesome book
This story has everything in it to keep you reading. Outlaws, cowboys, with some danger and a little love thrown it. Estranged brothers find each other in a rather circumstance. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

Family. In the end, it’s the most important, next to God.
Another page turner of a book. Will and Lottie helped each other thru grief and loss and grew inseparable as they faced life’s trials together. Loved the ending to this story.

This was a great story about Will looking for his brother James. He answered an ad for a mail order husband in Benson, the same place he received a letter from his brother. Enjoy their finding each other

A good story
Lottie had made some tough decisions. She had a lot of faith in God to take the steps forward that she took. The story was interesting. I look forward to reading more of Lilah Rivers' books.
