Worth the read!
Such an awesome, heartwarming story. The characters felt real and relatable. A reminder that family is not always by birth, but more often due to shared love and experiences.

This is another mail order bride store in the series that I enjoy. Kylie really had some issues that needs dealing with and Mac had his own. I love when Aunt Sue sat him down and said no matter what you are wanted and loved. I also love the fact that Kylie‘s mom showed up because she knew her daughter was in pain, a mother‘s instinct and was present and allowed Kylie to heal some of those wounds that she had been holding onto for so long. To find out her mom was white was definitely a twist that I did not expect. I also could see how her mom did not want to be in the middle of nowhere Iowa. As she explain to Kylie that a white woman living on a farm with two black men, they would’ve come and burned that farm to the ground just because of the time-period and who she was and who they were.
Sheldon was a waste of flesh and a terrible person. How do you drop off a woman who’s your friend knowing she’s pregnant at a farm with no electricity no running water by herself in the middle of nowhere. Then you show up later expecting her to be in the same position, and you rescuing her from the situation that you should’ve never left her in to begin with. This man never called even though Kylie told him she was pregnant with his child. I love the conversation with him and Mac when Mac said go ahead I’m listening. He wants to take them to family court and prove that he’s a father and Mack told him that that’s fine. I will take child support, our child will come back and call me, daddy, and you will get every other Christmas in two weeks in the summer. Go ahead tell me what you’re gonna do I’m listening. In the end, Mac and Kylie found their HEA. This was a good read. ☺️

What a sweet addition to the Mail Order Brides series
I loved this story. No matter if you get a 98.99% compatibility rating, there are still the humanistic personas one has to adjust to. Kylie was in the family-way and Mac was willing to take and raise the child as his own. He knew by marrying Kylie, the baby would be his. But he also knew that the baby's father would cause trouble. He was ready for Sheldon when he showed up and handled him. He also helped Kylie with the farm and gave her everything she wanted to do with her grandpa Ollie's farm she inherited, with the help of Mac's family. Just like any marriage, they both had adjustments to getting to know each other. Kylie let her insecurities make a mess of her marriage but she came to her senses. Mac was in tuned with everything Kylie needed, including her mother. They eventually got settled in their marriage and family life with little Ollie and Goldfinche and their HEA.
Olivia really knows how to inject some comic relief in her stories. I thought I would lose it when Kylie talked about breathing in air and wondering if it's the same air that's expelled elsewhere. Mac's explaining to Kylie about how he was not properly fed in a while was the icing on the cake that had me in tears laughing. It was a great story, well done as always.

I now understand the book title!
All of Aunt Sue's children except I believe Lebeau and Thom, have found their mates through Coraline Newair's Perfect Match Service! I laughed from the first few paragraphs, cried as the chapters unfolded, and rejoiced through the rest of the book! I had forgotten that Mac's sister Kimbrae was the one who had a mail-order husband. All of the married siblings got their start being loved and nurtured by Aunt Sue! Mac and Kylie were a great fit even before either of them set eyes on each other! I can't help but think Mac was who Kimbrae had in mind for Kylie upon first meeting her and hearing her story! I was glad that jealous, no good Sheldon was not able to tear Mac and Kylie's marriage apart!!!! I love these mail-order bride stories very much! Thank you Olivia please keep them coming!

We Belong Together Baby!
This was a lovely story of two people finding each other. Mac has a list & plan for everything. Kylie has been dealt life blows & needs a man who will work & listen to her not just take over. These two were made for each other. They both want to belong to someone who understands their love language & actually likes them as a person. The sexual chemistry was eye popping but the relationship was more then that. They have a nuturing & gentle love. I enjoyed reading this story & catching sight of former brides & their goings on from the series. I personally own all of the series & each book is worth it. I enjoy going back & reading then over & over. You will too.

Loved It
I loved this story. Olivia Gaines writes beautiful slices of America like no other. I have read every book in the series and this is one of my favorites. Mac was an excellent book bae, and it was great to visit with his siblings again and the ageless Aunt Sue.
My only issue was it was a fast read. I wanted more from the antagonist. I was waiting for a fight or something. That did not take anything from the story, in my opinion. I am anxiously awaiting the next in the series. Bravo!

Cute Story
Another match made for the books. I loved how Kylie and Mac interacted with each other from the beginning. They both had a questionable childhood but came out a better person. These two were on the same wavelength at all times. Their quirkiness was AWESOME. I loved how the family came together to help them. Aunt Sue is so funny. She tells it like it is. Jason was SO country and kept you wondering what else he would say. Olliver aka Hawkeye and Goldfinches will be best friends forever. I still wonder what Sheldon will do. Looking forward to the next book.

Perfect!
Once again Olivia Gaines made me devour one of her books! I laughed and cried and was thoroughly entertained and enthralled by this story. Mac with his hero-complex and Kylie with her insecurities were a perfect match including the twists and turns. I thought that Sheldon would be more of an issue but maybe that would be a reasonable book 2 topic (hint, hint!) A thoroughly enjoyable read by one of my favourite authors and I encourage anyone who loves intelligent love stories to read!

Another Great One
Love Olivia Gaines books, on my limited budget I usually stick to the free unlimited books but I'm willing to treat myself and actually purchase Ms Gaines' books. I have never been disappointed. I've enjoyed all the mail order books and you will too. Mac and Kylie were perfect for one another, 98.9 percent😍. The additional characters were also delightful, Jason tickled my funny bone. Treat yourself to this wonderful and fun book. Another touch down (Go Lions!!!) Ms Gaines.

This series is worthy of beaches, rainy days, and just because. I enjoyed reading how two unlikely people were able to come together under the magic that is Coraline Newair, with a nudge from an accountant. I found myself laughing out loud many times. My husband asked me if I was okay because I tried muffling my laughter a few times. Despite the editing wrrors, which are common in this series, the storytelling is good, and each story offers insight into situations or circumstances that I have found helpful for perspective in real life. 3.5 stars

I love the Modern Mail Order Brides series . I hope there is more to come . I love the way each bride is a well educated , strong woman who has something to contribute to the relationship . All of Max's family has used the service and now it is his time . The characters are great , Aunt Sue needs a story on her own. Each have their issues but together with constructive communication they work it out . Waiting for the next story .

Awesome book!
This was an awesome book, I loved the storyline, and the characters were really entertaining. I loved the chemistry between Kylie and Mac it was sweet and endearing. Sheldon proved to be an ass. He acted just the way Mac predicted he would. I highly recommend this book to my fellow romance readers. You will not be disappointed.

This was an interesting read. There were so many dynamics in play. The relationships that formed the couple's personalities ... The Aunt Sue revelations...the insecurities...the sacrifices...

Always left wanting !
I want the story to keep going. I know creating a story is hard, but reading Olivia Gaines words are easy reading. I have loved her series from the young lady showing up in Alaska as a mail order bride.

Wonderful story. You’re an amazing storyteller. I enjoyed the story very much from beginning to end. The characters in the back stories have me transfixed with the storyline. Oh I wish I could find a matchmaker for my daughter. Your male bride stories are wonderful.

Another blockbuster from Miss Gaines! His stories are always entertaining and comforting. Kylie and McAllister were two souls wandering in the world, looking for significance and found it with each other, and of course, Hawkeye & Goldfinches.
