Harvey is a widowed rancher trying to raise mischievous twins all by himself in Arizona.

Suzy and Alex, the twins, aren’t content to let their pa stay single and unhappy so they take actions into their own hands. When the twins mix their unsuspecting father with a bride expecting something completely different, nothing is certain except that a lot needs to happen to form a happy family.

This book is a sweet, clean, western, historical, romance short story. It is a complete story, but it is also part of the Two is Better Than One series. Be sure to read them all - in any order!

Sweet Love story

Mail-order bride stories are among some of my most favorite to read. I can't imagine the courage it must have taken for both parties to engage in such a deal. A sweet story about a mail-order bride, this novel shares how much the Good Lord wants to give us good things in our lives.

Wonderful love story

Great story fallen down depressed girl trying to figure out how to make it in a tough world. Female character takes a chance, steps out into the unknown. Troubles follow but the man in the story comes out of his insecurities and finally sees how to help her.

I would have given this novella three stars, but for the historical research problems as noted in my comments. but because of those historical research mistakes I can only give it one star.

Western Historical Romance

5 star's for Emily Woods story. The time to be a mail order bride is stalled and the bride and groom take time to figure out the issues they are sharing. Of course it all works out well. Enjoy the story I did!!!!!

I really enjoyed this one. The twins have such personality and the relationship between Mae and Harvey is really sweet. It was well done. But it wasn't completely edited. I also very much dislike the cover picture.
