Abigail's Mail Order Husband

Texas Prairie Brides #2

by Kate Whitsby

Abigail Doering begins her new life as Mrs. Abigail Ewing, mail-order bride to Grant Ewing of the Texas Rangers. After getting married on the spur of the moment in Borger, Texas, Grant and Abigail come home to Abigail's cottage on the Double A Ranch. Grace and Bill Bailey have decided to stay on, too, at least until Bill finishes breaking in the mustangs running free near the ranch. Once that job is finished, Grace and Bill will set off for the northern Rocky Mountains to start a new life on the Frontier.
Grant and Abigail set up house in the hopes of escaping the kind of chaotic drama Grace and Bill faced. But their hopes and expectations soon fall to pieces when spoiled and conceited Florence Abbot gets up to her old tricks. Not content with making peace with Grace and Bill after Bill saved her life, she turns her critical eye on Abigail. She finds every excuse to needle Abigail and meddle with her new marriage. Her constant interference demands all the newlyweds' patience and love to deepen their connection to each other without falling into Florence's traps.
In the meantime, Grant has work to do, tracking down the gang of outlaws marauding on the prairie. With autumn coming on and the cowboys returning from Amarillo, tensions run high on the ranch. The ranch owner, Mr. Acton Abbot, also returns from Amarillo. He brings with him the profits from the cattle drive, luring the outlaws out of hiding and tempting them to evil deeds. In the flush of his new love for Abigail, Grant rallies Bill to help him protect the ranch. But before anyone can live happily ever after, all the newlyweds must join forces to save themselves and their new loves from the forces bent on their destruction.

[Faith · Rating 3 out of 5]

I hadn't read the first book in the series, so was confused a couple of times, but there was something else I didn't quite like about it that has nothing to do with not reading the first book. The characters seemed almost shallow and disjointed. I didn't really like the book, but others probably would.

This book is the second in the series And appears to take up where the previous book ended. Since I had not read book 1, I as a reader was immediately dumped into a scene where I knew nothing about any of the characters.

Had I known this when the book was offered for free, I would not have "bought" it.

Know you have to read the "sections called books" in order. And be prepared to purchase each to get the full story.

I dislike "books" like this where the next book relies on the previous book(s) and the following epistles.

Abigail's Mail Order Husband is Grant, a Texas Ranger and he is investigating a large gang of varmints around the Double A Ranch. Abigail does not know how to cook but she quickly learns to make both stew and soup with the help of Grace.

The action starts when the gang descends upon the ranch and the women work together to save each other. You will just have to read the book to find out the details and how it all ended...
