Rose's Mail Order Husband
A historical western cowboy romance about a mail order husband.
This third book in the Montana Brides series reveals the shocking conclusion to the mystery of Cornell Pollard’s murder. Friday morning dawns clear and bright for the Kilburn family triple wedding. The eldest sister, Violet, is marrying Chuck Ahern. The middle sister, Iris, is marrying Mick McAllister. But all the evidence and every finger points to Rose’s fiancé, Jake Hamilton, as the killer. Worst of all, Sheriff Tom Maitland still lurks around Rocking Horse Ranch, hunting the murderer. Everyone thinks the youngest sister, Rose, has lost her senses for defending Jake’s innocence. Jake still faces everything with his usual air of amused superiority, confirming his guilt in the minds of his fellow mail-order couples.
The sisters prepare for the wedding service, and the minister arrives to perform the ceremony, but to their horror, Sheriff Maitland shows up in the middle of the wedding, throwing everyone into confusion. He still has a few pointed questions for the suspects, especially Jake. Will Rose’s resolve hold up under the pressure? Will she find a way to prove his innocence at the last moment, or is she making a terrible mistake by marrying the man who killed her uncle? The future of their family and the lives of everyone involved hang in the balance, and only Rose holds the key to the mystery.

It was a good story
I enjoyed the book and the way Rose was changing for the better. At first it made her look like a crazy person. I still have questions and the book ended so abruptly.

I wanted to like the series…
I wanted to like this series. But the female leads were just a bunch of ninny’s. They flipped and floppedAnd made dumb decisions. I just couldn’t it like it no matter how much I wanted to.

Rose's Mail Order Husband
Great surprises and fun. A terrific story with lots of action. Never in under estimate the power of the love of sisters.

Rose had money is that why Jake wanted to marry her. She seemed so uninterested and aloof about everything. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

This is the conclusion of the Montana Bride series (mail-order husband). I loved the characters of this series. They are relate-able to many different readers. The mystery that has flowed through all three books, which spans only 2 days, was shocking
I continue to read Kate Whitsby if other series are anything like this one.

By the third book you have long figured out that Rose could be the murderer. At this point you are so tired of hearing all the rude and nasty coments about Rose and Jake.....over and over and over. This could have all been told in one short story.

Good Historical Fiction
This is a quick read as it keeps your attention, with a few unexpected twists. All three books in this series are very good.
