This is a sweet/clean romance with no explicit scenes, with a surprise BONUS inside!
Young and free Missy has everything in the world going for her. She is college educated, she has great friends, she is independent… but she is single.
It seems as though no matter how hard she tries, she always gets the guy that doesn’t deserve her, and she is tired of it.
That is when she puts an ad in the paper for a mail order bride… and meets Caleb Ryder.
She falls in love and rushes away to a distant land to see all of her dreams come true.. Or so she thinks.
Cowgirl life isn’t at all what Missy expects it to be, and when she finds out the truth of it all, she isn’t sure this is the life that she wants after all. Will she find her happiness even in the Wild West, or is she going to turn around and head back to the home to the life that she has always known?
The first is The Cowgirl’s Child. I thought this was an okay story, but nothing stood out as all that good. (2 stars)
The second is The Barren Bride This was an enjoyable short story. I felt badly that Ellie lost her husband and that they were never able to have a child together, but maybe the problem with conceiving was with him not her? The ending was predictable, but still good. (4 stars)
The third is Faith in A Cowboy. This story was just meh. (1.5 stars)
The fourth is The Texas Billionaire’s Bride. A nice story, but very unbelievable how quickly he fell in love with Josephine and the outcome at the end. (2 stars)
It was nice to read this collection, but have a feeling that none of the stories will stick with me long as they aren't that memorable.
Four short, clean mail order bride stories in one book. While they aren't religious, they are clean. You don't have to worry about anything explicit in the story.
Cute story but it did drive me insane. There were continuity issues, punctuation errors, and syntax errors. LOTS of unanswered questions. Things were mentioned, but then left out. It was if the writer was taking short breaks during writing and forgetting where they left off.
If seems as if it it had been a full length story that was reduced to 8000 words, but all willy nilly.
Every story got worse as this set of what was labeled 'clean' went on. I gave up after the third one and jumped to the end just to see if they all managed to use the F word and end up pregnant. Clean romances are out there, but this certainly wasn't one of them!
The plot of this book is almost an exact duplicate of another Mail Order Bride book that I read recently. I attempted to see if this book or the other book was a compilation of stories and was not successful in finding out.
I did not like this book. It felt like it was written by a child. It was sloppily done and Missy acts like a baby. There was no way for me to get into the book. It was frankly boring. I would not recommend it, it is a waist of time.
