The Dalton Brides #5
Hank's Rescued Bride
She's a woman in need of a hero. Unfortunately, all she has is him.
Growing up in an orphanage, Maggie Bishop learned to never depend on anyone — except her sister, Mary. When Mary disappears after becoming a mail-order bride, Maggie suspects foul play and desperately needs help. But there’s a problem: The one person she can trust is the one person she despises most.
No woman in Beckham is immune to ‘Handsome Hank’ Blue’s considerable charms. Except for the beautiful, aloof and exasperating Maggie Bishop. The last time he spoke to her, he walked away with a handprint on his cheek! But Hank has bigger fish to fry.
Nearly two years have passed since he vowed to discover the secret of the evil men who eventually ruined the family business, and he isn’t any closer now than he was back then. So when Maggie tells him they are at the center of her sister’s disappearance, he jumps at the chance to uncover their dastardly plot.
As they search for her sister, Maggie discovers there’s more to Hank than just his pretty face and even prettier words. Only after Maggie is kidnapped does Hank realize there are more important things in life than vengeance. Will he rescue her before she’s lost forever or is he already too late?

I've read a couple of the others in this series and found them rough but somewhat charming. Maybe they were better or maybe I was just in the right mood before, because this one didn't do much for me.

Yes! Another great read

What a great start to this series! Can't wait to read the next one. I think you should keep doing this. And to know this problem still exists today! Great job!

Although #5 in the series, can be read as a stand alone. This is a clean romance. I'm sorry to say I paid a dollar for this on Amazon.
So it wasn't totally bad, hence the 2 stars. The story would have been a lot better in the hands of a more talented author.
The H/h are only ok. The heroine is a feisty orphan who is on the verge of aging out of the orphanage. The hero is a flirty ladies man, who needs to prove to the heroine he's serious about her.
The main story has the town's female orphans (when they reach a certain age) being tricked & taken out of town where they're sold to the flesh market. Our heroine is not tricked, but she's still kidnapped. The hero saves the day.
The HEA is tainted IMO by the lack of any action on the part of the H/h. They want to prove the town deacons are dirty, but they don't contact the U S Marshalls or anybody. The implication is the slavers are free to continue selling young women.
Disappointing....

THIS STORY HAD ALL KIND OF POTENTIAL FOR PLOT DEVELOPMENT BUT that pretty much died when Maggie found her sister. Up to that point it appeared that character development was going strong but that came to a schreeching halt at the same point. It seemed as though Ms. Hayes merely wanted to finish her series and from that point on, it was just a fast rush to the finish.

Nice Continuation of the Series
The last chapter of The Drifter's Mail-Order Bride introduced readers to the three Blue brothers, this is the story of Hank and Maggie. It includes Thaddeus Slade from Kit Morgan s Clear Creek books. It's compelling and exciting yet awful to realize that woman have been historically used for sex trafficking.

very nice
Classie Hayes has written this book very well. It is book five of the Dalton Brides. This book is about the sisters brother Hank. How his love, Maggie want to look for her sister, and about how they were going to be sold into to slavery. An enjoyable read

Great story..
I enjoyed the authors tale of goo against evil, the characters in the story of adventure and suspense are caught up in a story of evil characters and romance.

Clean romance
Sweet, clean, fun. Subject matter, being kidnapped and sold into slavery could bother sensitive readers. I thought it was well written.

I enjoyed the action in this book and the story line that was more than just a couple with some misunderstandings between them.

Amazing!
This story was great! I loved that Hank and Maggie had such strong personalities, but in the end they listened to each other.

I enjoyed Hank and Maggie's adventure. The main characters were likeable. Catherine turned out to be nicer than I expected. There is a happy ending.

This was more than a romance book. She threw in some suspense and some dastardly bad men to make this a thrilling read. Well done Cassie Hayes.

Such a sweet story. We need more stories that leave us feeling so good.

I've been reading this series in order and have enjoyed all of the stories. This one has a strong woman, Maggie, who's in some trouble trying to find her sister. Hank agrees to help her. Like others in this series, this is a sweet (not steamy) historical romance. This one had more rescuing involved which added some intrigue. I enjoyed the characters and liked getting an update on the Blue sisters to see how they're doing. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

A very good story.
I enjoyed this book. Hank loves Maggie but is too dumb to realize it. When she comes to him for help he reluctantly agrees to help her find her sister, Mary. Maggie lived in an orphanage and us just about to age out. The proprietor has made arrangements for her to marry. She is very concerned because her sister gadget six weeks earlier and she had not heard from her. While waiting to leave with Hank to find her sister, Catherine tells her a secret, she's going to be married to a relative of Deacon Smith. The groom's name is Thaddius. Her sister was marrying a Thaddius a nd she was to marry a Thaddius. Maggie began to think something was wrong and her and Hank decided to take a train to St. Louis t o look for Mary and to keep an eye on Catherine while traveling. When they stop for zero meal Catherine and Maggie are kidnapped. Hank realizes what has happened as he sees Maggie's ribbon hanging outside the covered wagon as it passes by. I don't want to give away what happens or why they were kidnapped. I believe you will enjoy this book. Read it to find out what happens.

As Above
A Very Dramatic Story About Three Organs . This Story was very well written. Very Sad but ended with A Lot of Family Love.
These young girls went though so much. And then A Happy Ending

Seems all follow the same pattern.
These books run the same tracks literally. I would enjoy a deeper more intricate plot. Easy read for a lot of different ways to get married.

Sweet and funny
This book has a bit of everything romance, suspence and humor. The only downside was it wasn't nearly long enough.
