The Cowboy's Mail Order Bride
This book contains a prologue published in its entirety The Escape (A Prologue): A Mail Order Bride Romance (The Dalton Brides Book 1) and is only a small portion of this book. Libby Blue lived in the shadow of her sister’s accomplishments. Bonnie, the oldest, excelled at all things domestic and was the smartest of the three. Gwen, the middle sister, excelled at … well, Gwen was beautiful, so she didn’t have to excel at much else. Libby tried as hard as she could to live up to both, but always seemed to fall short. But when Gwen is caught up in a major scandal, their father decides to marry Libby and her sisters off to the most un-eligible bachelors in Beckham to save the family’s reputation. Bonnie quickly devises a plan to escape their father’s wrath and sets it in motion. Libby might yet have a chance to prove herself! As a Mail-Order Bride! Walton Dalton had a dream to build an empire. Or in this case, a ranch where he and his two brothers, Nate and Bart, could work hard and love hard. Determined to see his dream come true, he sends for his brothers to join him in Texas to claim the land and begin building. That took care of the ‘work’ part. But Walton fails to tell them that he sent for mail-order brides to take care of the ‘loving’ part. Will Nate Dalton become Libby’s road to happiness? Or a slow path to misery because she still can’t measure up? The Cowboy's Mail-Order Bride is one of three connected books in The Dalton Brides series, all of which are available on * The Escape (A Prologue) by Kirsten Osbourne, Cassie Hayes & Kit Morgan (also included at the beginning of each book) * The Rancher’s Mail-Order Bride by Kirsten Osbourne * The Drifter’s Mail-Order Bride by Cassie Hayes

What do you do as a woman in late 19th century America if you're kinda crap at everything, average looking with no brains and no skills, and a father who decides for no apparent reason to marry you off to a lecherous old deacon? You become a mail order bride, take a train to Texas and land a handsome cowboy (one of three triplet cowboys too), what else!!?
As for environment, it is set in Texas, but for all the description we get of the environment it could be set in a random field wherever. The closest we get to an environmental description is a disagreement of whether it is hot enough to dunk your head in the horse through, or not.
I couldn't actually decide whether this was just a pastiche or seriously meant, but what I do know was that it made me want to rewatch "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers". This novel was kinda like that, but without the singing and the dancing, which happen to be the best bits of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers". The main heroine (the three triplet brother marry three sisters, no kidding) was also the kind of of leading lady who weeps her way into the hero's mighty lovin' arms since she is so fragile and petite and just all around afraid of everything, including the dark, cooking, the cellar and most of the time her husband and his horse. I find this trope more annoying than the hero's mighty thews and soft brown eyes, to be honest. Even more mind boggling than that, the novel actually has a sequel, which tells the same story, but from one of the other three sister's and triplet cowboy's perspective, because everyone really needs that!
On the other hand, you know, I am now going to walk around the house bellowing "BLESS YOUR BEAUTIFUL HIDE" and "I'll pay your way through cooking school if you'll only say yes."

Nice Novella to Start the Series.
This series set in Texas is written by three authors. Start with a short story called The Escape. Then read The Rancher's Mail-Order Bride. Then this book. The next, is The Drifter's Mail-Order Bride. The trilogy is about three triplet brothers readers first met in Oregon City, in Kit Morgan's book, Love at Harvest Moon. In this book, Nate and Libby are starting their marriage. It's a delightful short read.

Awesome book
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. It was fun to watch Nate and Libby's love story unfold. Three sisters becoming mail order brides to men who are triplets was very entertaining. I'm sure everyone who reads this series is going to love it as much as I did.

I haven't come across a Kit Morgan book yet that I haven't enjoyed. Love love love the tie-in to Finn and Eva's story in the Holiday Brides series by Morgan.

I enjoyed " The Cowboy's Mail Order Bride". After Bonnie and Bart, Libbie and Nate are my favorite characters. Their romance was amusing and it had a happy ending.

When scandal causes the three Blue sisters to leave their home and head to Tx as Mail-order brides, they don't know what to expect. Libby is hoping for a marriage that will result in love, but her own self doubt makes her wonder.
Ante has no idea what to think when he, along with his brother Walt, arrive in town and he hears that Walt has gotten them all brides. But when he see Libby, he is attracted and intrigued by her. It he has walls built around his heart.
Can they work together and come to trust each other? Can Nate woo his wife and win her trust and love? Will Libby finally let go of her self doubts and become the wife she wants to be? I am loving this series!!

Amazing
"Sigh" I hate the endings of a series and this is by far one of my most favorite!!! I loved Libby and Nates story how different they are but yet how they compete each other I love the tie the sisters and the brothers have and how amazing these three authors did to make such an amazing series if I hadn't known they were written by three different people I wouldn't believe it they have incredible talent and there books are amazing. This is a must read series and if you don't then you WILL be missing.g out!!!

Part of an interesting concept
This book is one of three connected stories concerning three brothers who marry three sisters. The stories occur simultaneously but are told by three different authors in three books. Each book presents a different pair's romance. There is significant overlap in the stories often with triplicate copy, but that is to be expected. All three books contain the background information that was published separately. Each book has a different author.
This is Nate and Libby's story. Libby is the youngest sister. Nate is the most practical triplet.

I was looking for a follow up series to a previous western mail order bride series and decided to give this a shot. This review is for the prologue, book 1 and book 2. This series is about three triplet brothers who learn to love their mail order brides. These books are apparently written by different authors. I did not like the first one it was just slow and the characters where annoying. The second one was good and I enjoyed it a lot. I just did not enjoy having to repeat parts of the story we already know. I hate books that repeat themselves. It drives me crazy!!

Avery good story
This is the third book in the series. This is Libby;s story, a young woman who is very scared about a lot of th ok bags and Ate;s story, her husband who loved her. Mate has shown great patience with Libby protecting her and teaching her while they were falling in love. A very good book that's a fast read.

Don't Bother
I seriously believe the publisher asked for a quick tri-story, and this book is the first of 3 sure-fire disasters. To be blunt, it's just plain stupid (I was barely reading it on a plane, so...). The premise is good; the characters, plot, action, and dialogue aren't. In fact, they're nowhere to be found. Books 2 & 3 will definitely be skipped.

Libby and Nates story
This is #2 in the series. I liked it a bit better than the first one. Libby is the youngest sister and very timid. The series is very light read. Short stories so not a lot of depth or details. So on to #3.

Nate's story
Dalton#2 was just as good as Dalton#1 only with more action. So there is a sub story line here that is just starting to be revealed... Hmmm, very interesting.

Awkward story line
Not my favorite mail order bride book. Hated the ending. They should have continued the story and showed how they adjusted to married life.

Ok book
It started slow. I think she should had a little more romance, but I like it when he was understanding about her. I remember it was like that way back then.
