American Mail-Order Brides #1
Lottie: Bride of Delaware
Lottie, Bride of Delaware, is the first book in the unprecedented 50-book American Mail-Order Brides series!
Lottie Mitchell had a problem, a really BIG problem, and the only one who cared was, well, her. Oh sure, her roommate Beth gave stock to her theories of who was responsible for a tragedy that put herself and dozens of her co-workers out of a job. And yes, someone came up with the idea that in order to survive, they could all become mail-order brides, but still… Lottie wanted to know the truth. Did her sister Leora believe her? To a point, but not enough to keep from telling her that if she didn’t drop her silly notions, she’d miss her own wedding! Her other roommates, Alice and Judith groaned at any mention of helping her snoop around like a Pinkerton, and then there was her groom …
Sam Cooke gave up the notion of finding anyone from Clear Creek to marry. What available women there were, were either too young or too old, and heaven help him if his mother, Belle Cooke, got his matchmaking Aunt Sadie to help find him a bride. No, some things a man had to do on his own. But when he travels east on business to fetch his mail-order bride, little did he know what sort of hi-jinx awaited him on the journey home with her!

I liked that Lottie was protective and a provider for her sister and friends. I appreciate her desire to learn who caused the fire at the mill that was a source of income for so many. However, it became an obsession to the point of being unrealistic.

I think this will be a fun series, I like the idea of it. I'm not sure if I'll be able to read all fifty as the come out, but I will definitely get around to them all eventually.
So, I liked this one, I thought it was a nice story with nice characters and just overall...nice. Lottie drove me a bit batty with her obsession with Mr. Brown. What did she really think would happen when/if she confronted him? I don't think ever got that far in her plotting. I wasn't sure why she was so invested in the "mystery" especially since there was so little to go on. Sam was a very nice guy. Maybe a little too nice? I mean, I love nice guys, but I just had a hard time connecting with his character. He was very nice to Lottie.
One thing I thought was odd, the book doesn't actually take place in Delaware. I guess based on the title, I was expecting Lottie to marry a guy from Delaware and go there to live. Sam is from Oregon, and Lottie was born in Delaware, but lives in Massachusetts. Its fine, but I thought more of the story would take place in Delaware. Maybe it was so the author could tie this book in to her other series?
Overall, it was a pleasant escape and a good set up for the rest of the series.
Content
Romance: Pretty clean. Very mild innuendo and fade to black intimacy between married couple.
Language: None
Violence: None
Religious: Very mild. Talk of forgiveness, no preaching

SImply wonderful!! Lottie was one of the young women out of a job when the mill burned down and she and her sister and friends decided there was not much hope to find a job so they decided to become mail order brides. Lottie's soon to be husband, Sam Cooke, was coming to her so they could marry and then go to his home instead of her going to him as was the usual practice.
This story touched my heart so much. Lottie was obsessed with proving Mr. Brown who had owned the Mill they all had worked at was responsible for burning it down. She could not let it go, even when she met wonderful Sam and almost ruined their wedding. It is hard to let things go through our lives and this was a lesson in forgiveness.
Sam was wonderful and I think I fell in love with him a little myself and I understood Lottie. I listened every second I had and with the amazing narration of Michael Rahhal which was perfect and the writing of the fabulous Kit Morgan, I really did not want the story to end. But the great news is there is still Lenora, Lottie's sister and several of the other girls to learn about!! Loved every second!!!

The first in a series of fifty mail order brides, who have lost the jobs after a factory fire. Great concept and I will enjoy reading the series. I do not think I will be able to keep up with the one a day releases for fifty days. I will definitely be putting my Kindle Unlimited subscription to great use.
The story was interesting but Lottie need to learn to let go of the past a lot sooner. Her obsessive nature made parts of the story very un unenjoyable. At these sections, I wish I could have reach over a just slapped her and said "look at all the good that came out of this tragedy."

I love Kit Morgan but this book disappointed me. I appreciate that she wanted to tie it to her other books about folks in Clear Creek, and I liked meeting some of the next generation of Cookes. But where was Delaware? Okay, so the bride was from Delaware, spent her childhood there. Then she tricks her groom into going there for the wedding so she can chase an arson. I know all 50 stories are linked together, but this one felt unfinished and overly manipulated. I'm still going to read the rest. This was a big project and I hope as I read the other titles it will feel more put together.

Although you don't need to read the books in order, I would recommend reading the prequel first. I read it afterwards and it helped me like Lottie better.
Lottie is obsessed with finding out if her boss, Mr. Brown burned down the factory where she worked. She is so single-minded that she isn't paying attention to her new, and wonderful, husband. I was getting impatient with her behavior. Reading the prequel helped me see Mr. Brown as a snake, and accept her behavior easier.

OH MY GOODNESS
Lottie was working my nerves. I couldn't stand her. I'm glad at the end she woke the check up a few times I wanted to reach in the book just to slap some sense into her. I hope none of the other girls are a headcase like her.

#1 in the American Mail-Order Bride series
This book was just OK for me. I'm intrigued with the series, with a mail-order bride theme but many different authors. Morgan is a new-to-me author, and I thought her book was a little one-sided. Her idea is that Lottie worked in the mills in the 1800's, and her workplace burned down. She has gotten it into her head that the owner did it on purpose for the insurance money, to the detriment of all of his employees. She has absolutely no evidence or cause, but she's totally convinced of his guilt and keeps working to prove it. Unfortunately, the entire book consisted of her single-mindedness on this issue, to the detriment of everything and everyone else around her. I liked the concept, but it was a one-note theme and frustrated me throughout. I'll admit, however, that the ending was satisfactory, and things rounded out nicely, leaving me with a good feeling. Sam Cooke is a good hero--strong without being overwhelming. And their relationship was nice and pretty realistic without being unbelievable. It's a good concept, and I'll probably give more of these books a read whenever I need a book set in a certain state.

Can Lottie find forgiveness?
Lottie is so confused, she is focusing so hard on fixing a perceived wrong that she is missing all the good that is right in front of her, the best of which is Sam Cooke her new husband. But she may have to dig deeper to find the real troubles that are stopping her from moving on and embracing her marriage.
I found Lottie a little difficult to like, she was very easily distracted and quite self centered, on more than one occasion she promised something before almost immediately breaking that same promise, she expects Sam to forgive her instantly but is not prepared to listen to his reasons for keeping his families wealth quiet. So whilst she may mean well, she is not my favourite of the brides.
Sam is forgiving, probably too forgiving, but he sees deep into Lottie's heart and sees the person she will become once she learns to forgive those around her, and most importantly herself!
A great start the the American Mail Order Brides Series and we have another 49 books to read, I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

Lottie and Sam
Lottie got really annoying at times. The story felt strange as well as if I was missing several pieces of the puzzle that would complete the picture. I don’t know if this series connected to one or more as it felt like the writer was writing characters that had more background than was given. It wasn’t a bad story and I am intrigued by the other women and how they will fare. I do have one complaint that pushed this book into the three stars category- Sam never really acknowledged his wrong doing. Yes he admitted it to himself but never to Lottie. And the grandfather was kinda a jerk about it. Forgiveness and admitting one’s faults should not be one sided when both parties did something to apologize for. Lottie’s resolving the true pain in her soul was great and helped make her more enjoyable when I was really about to scream at her. Though that part felt rushed and I would have liked to see it expanded upon- especially since it brought her peace. All and all- this was an okay book and an okay start to the series.

Good Start to TWO Series!
This book is number one in the American Mail Order Brides series, which is what happens to the women who are out of a job when their factory burns down, and they choose to be Mail Order Brides. Yet,it is apparent as you read this book the couple is linking to a series set in Clear Creek,Oregon. So, now I will probably choose to read the Prairie Brides series by Kit Morgan. It looks like the author stays true to the times yet infuses her stories with lots of humor.

I didn't bother reading the prequel and found I could figure out enough of the backstory without it.
Lottie is consumed with determination to blame Mr. Brown for the fire at the factory. She's agreed to become a mail-order bride but can't seem to focus on her upcoming wedding and marriage.
Sam is a great guy; very understanding and patient. He wants to marry for love, not for the wealth and prestige his family has.
The story was pretty good but I found myself annoyed with Lottie's consuming revenge.

Lottie Mitchell had to become a mail-order bride. This part of the plot made for tension. Sam Cooke gave up the notion of finding anyone from Clear Creek to marry. He had good reason and that made for a surprise. He travels east on business to fetch his mail-order bride, little did he know what awaited him on the journey home with her. I enjoyed the characters and the surprising plot. The setting - great. I'm from Yankton, South Dakota. Vermillion close to Yankton, was mentioned several times. Great read.

I listened to this a few years ago, and I decided to listen again.
Since I've been reading Prairie Brides and Prairie Grooms and Holiday Mail-Order Brides, I was happy to hear of familiar characters again! The first time, I had no context for those characters. Glad to hear the story of one of the next generation of Cookes. This was a good story of unconditional love and forgiveness.

Fun story with a great message
As a fan of Kit Morgan's work, I love how this sweet story connects to characters in her other books. I really enjoyed the reality of experiencing some conflict in Lottie and Sam's relationship despite their growing attraction. It was also beautiful to see how their lives began to blend together.

Okay, the groom seemed sweet. The bride... I didn't hate her. The groom didn't even live in Delaware and they didn't end up in Delaware. The whole story seemed oddly truncated.

Lottie: Bride of Delaware (American Mail-Order Bride #1)
By: Kit Morgan
4/5 stars
With the fire at the Brown Textiles Mill, many women were left without family to take them in, there were no job prospects and most had very little money saved. They had to live together in groups in order to be able to get by. But the previous manager found the Groom’s Gazette and came up with the idea that the single women could and should become mail-order brides as a way out of their current dire situation.
Lottie is obsessed with trying to prove that the burning of the mill was actually an act of arson by none other than the owner, Bob Brown. For some reason, she just can’t let it go. When she actually gets the word that she will be getting married to a man from Oregon, she is sad that she won’t be able to solve the mystery.
Sam Cooke is from a wealthy family, but a good wholesome family. However, there aren’t many available, eligible women from around his home. He also wants a woman who wants to marry him for him and not for his family name, money or ranch. He does keep his true identity hidden from Lottie during their time together and the trip from Massachusetts to Oregon. But when they arrive in Oregon, the truth does come out.
I was perturbed with Lottie and her obsession. She seemed to put Sam second to Bob in her thoughts, mind and sometimes even her actions. I understand wanting to know the truth, but after 3 or 4 times, I was ready for them to have the discussion & end the insanity.

I was hoping that these books would take place in the states that are in the title so that is a little disappointing. A very small portion of this story did take place in Delaware, but about the same amount of story took place in Illinois and Oregon, while the majority took place in Massachusetts. This is only an issue to me personally because I'm trying to read a book set in each state. Otherwise this is a well written story by Kit Morgan as always and, of course it's always wonderful to meet back up with the Cooke's of Clear Creek, Oregon! I look forward to reading the rest of the series and being introduced to works by the other authors who participated.

Good beginning to series. I hope some questions will be answered in one of the following books. For example, Sam is amused by Lottie's pirate book and tells her to "Remind me about this when we get to the ranch..." I hate unfinished things like this in a story, so now it's bugging me that I don't know what he was so amused by, although I'm assuming one of his relatives wrote the book... who knows???

This is the first book in the American Mail Order Bride series. I love the concept, (mail order bride stories). This first book was refreshing because it didn't start out with the common premise that there was some mistake/mix-up in the mail order process that has to be ironed out before the "happily even after." This one started out as two people happy to have each other. The plot tensions came from outside elements and relationship communication and trust. It was I change that I appreciated.
May 26, 2016
This is a "clean" romance novel that would be appropriate for teen readers. Lottie is a mill worker who suddenly finds herself unemployed when the mill burns down in a suspicious fire. The 50 former female employees plan new lives as mail order brides. This is the first in a series of 50 books written by 40◾➕ authors. This is NOT a preachy christian novel but does in the last few pages give a bit of a lecture on forgiveness.

Well I was surprised to see old friends show up in this book. Although with Kit Morgan writing it, I shouldn't have. If this is the first book, then I can hardly wait for the next! Tomorrow! Excellent job Kit!
