This is another outstanding group of stories. If you enjoy funny stories this set is for you. I liked the give and take between the characters. The electronic version needs better editing.
Westerns and romances are two of my favorite genres, and this book puts them together perfectly. I think it only took me as long as it did to finish this book because the first story was my favorite, and I think I read it a total of four times throughout the course of the book. Many of these stories were beautiful and touching, and I cried through at least parts of many of them. It seems like these box sets aren't as well edited as stand-alone books are and I'm not sure why that might be, but the errors weren't enough to distract me too much. They were all good, and I love the fact that the books of each series flow right into one another in a box set, rather than having to assemble the books from each series to read. You could often picture them as one longer story and I loved that.
I generally do reviews for each of boxed set. This was 22 good read stories telling of the circumstance that women of different lives chose this route to get married. In the history books, many mail order brides did not live happily. You have some that chose this to get away from their families. Some were thrown out on the street and some were sold into some form of slavery and then sold as a bride. I liked this because no sex or violence as in other genre of books.
