Clean and Wholesome American mail order bride historical western short story romance.

From the Bestselling author Kat Carson!

It's 1889 and love is starting to blossom in the dusty faraway corner of the West.

This inspirational historical Wild West Romance series is about strong women on their quest to turn around their downtrodden situation, their triumphs of discovering real men and true love in the mid-and late 19th-century.

Meet Ruby Jones, once a happy wife now a widow at twenty-two! She was left to raise their three-year-old daughter Eliza alone, with no means of income. Out of desperation, Ruby responds to an ad, hoping this could be the answer to her prayers. Running out of plan, she took the risks and traveled out West with her daughter to meet her anonymous husband and courageously face their unknown future.

Why is a blackberry patch so important to them?

Will she get through the challenges that will test her strong faith?

Where had Matthew been the past couple of days that had him terribly injured?
 

Feel at home and get comfy in their small humble cabin where you can collect chickens eggs and berries at the barn to make a perfect pancake for breakfast, milk the cows and make some cheese and butter for lunch, and get cozy in the fireplace at night. Y'all get to know Mr. Matthew Allen's, a strong, well-built man with a long beard covering his lips. Pete, his dark and mysterious friend who's always giving Ruby the chills and that sweet Eliza, her beloved daughter who's always eager to help them with the chores.

....“a story of hope, fear, romance, suspense and true love.”....

While this book is part of a romance series, it can definitely be read as a standalone book.

Honestly I'm not sure what to make of this book. It began with the familiar mail-order bride plot where this young widow and her daughter head out west to meet a complete stranger. Well, things were going, sort of smoothly, until....

>>>>>SPOILER<<<<<<

He dies. I was kind of surprised at this but kept reading to find out that she remarries someone else in the town.

>>>>END SPOILER<<<<<

The book was a super short read (which was nice) but it didn't leave much time to give a lot of meat to the story, if you know what I mean. I didn't think there was a lot of character development, unless you count the short lived time when they were all becoming friends and starting to feel like a real family. I was able to read through the book in one night but I felt there could have been a lot more to it.

Overall is was an okay read. If you enjoy clean historical western romances and are looking for a short read, you'll probably like this book.

Great Read

I chose this book because it is one of my favourite genres; the synopsis also intrigued me. I didn't quite expect Ruby's new husband to meet such a fate, but overall, I'm well pleased. I plan to read the remaining books in this series - I may even go ahead and purchase the series from Amazon, as it indicates such an affordable price (all 13 books). Well done Ms Carson.

Good book

It was a good short story and it had some mystery to it that I enjoyed. However, the little girl seemed to be quite accomplished in her understanding and mastery of the language and the duties expected of a youngster.... so it was difficult to really go along with her only being 3 years old. I did enjoyed reading it through to the end though.

Sweet Love Story

I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful story. It was sweet, poignant and lovely. The characters were engaging and vivid. Her losses broke my heart but the love of her child blessed me!

[Belinda Southworth · Rating 5 out of 5]

First time reading, her book. I enjoyed it, and the mystery. I will continue with her.

A five star, because I couldn't put it down.
A good book of LOVE and support. A fan now. Can't wait.

An unexpected story but why on earth is there an apostrophe after the title?

[BOOKWORM07 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent book in the series

Looking forward to reading the others. This tells the story of a widow who answers an advertisement for a bride and got a shock.

[Joann · Rating 4 out of 5]

Exciting

Short, sweet, scary, and exciting but I sure felt sorry for Ruby, such a hard life. Eliz is so precious, I didn't know a three year old could be that helpful.

takeing a chance on love with a child

Trust in the lord taken to extreme death isolation poor communication Faith in good story telling helps to deal with keeping the faith

[Abby · Rating 4 out of 5]

What I enjoyed: It's a mail-order bride romance... with a twist! (You'll have to read to find out. I'll give you a hint: it has something to do with a secret.)

What I did not enjoy: The book wrapped up a bit too quickly for me; another chapter or two would have been preferred. Why? Mild spoiler alert: I didn't want to just be told about Ruby's relationship with Luke; I wanted it to be described in the same manner as the rest of the novella..

Genre: Christian Historical Romance
No content warnings; recommend to readers age 15+.

Short and sweet!

Clean and interesting story. Wished it were longer and more detailed. But I would gladly recommend it for a quick read.

[Karen Scheffers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great short story.

This story was full of the message of faith in God
and His faithfulness to believers. I would recommend it to believers and non believers alike.
